Cookie Policy for FamilyRecipeHub

Last Updated: April 03, 2026

Welcome to FamilyRecipeHub (the “Site”). We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide a better user experience, analyze traffic, and enable social media functionality. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They help the Site remember information about your visit, such as your language preference, login status, or the items you added to a shopping cart. Cookies can also collect anonymous data about how you use the Site, which helps us improve content and performance.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize our cookies into four main groups. Each group serves a distinct purpose and has a different level of necessity for the Site’s functionality.

1. Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

• Session Cookies: These temporary cookies keep you logged in as you navigate between pages. They expire once you close your browser.
• Security Cookies: Used to detect and prevent malicious activity, such as unauthorized access attempts.
• Preference Cookies: Store your language choice, region, or other user preferences that are required to display the Site correctly.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to gather anonymous data about how visitors use the Site. These cookies help us understand page views, user flow, bounce rates, and other metrics that allow us to improve the Site’s performance and content. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify individual users.

3. Social Media Cookies

When you share recipes or interact with our social media widgets, we set cookies from the following platforms:

• Pinterest: Enables “Pin It” buttons and tracks engagement.
• Instagram: Supports embedded posts and analytics on user interaction.
• Facebook: Powers the “Like” button, share functionality, and offers insight into how users interact with our content.

These cookies may collect data such as your IP address, device type, and browsing history on the Site. They are set by the respective social media platforms, not by FamilyRecipeHub. You can opt out of social media tracking by adjusting your settings on each platform’s privacy page.

4. Preferences (Custom) Cookies

We also use cookies to remember your personalized settings, such as theme choice (light/dark mode), font size, or whether you have enabled certain accessibility features. These cookies help provide a consistent experience across visits and are stored until you delete them or clear your browser data.
