Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how CookAfill ("we", "us") collects, uses and shares information when you visit cookafill.online (the "Site"). We keep data collection to a minimum.

1. Who is responsible

Donaldr Gholson, 5441 NE 148th Ave, Ste 101, Portland, OR 97230, United States. Email: contact@cookafill.online.

2. Information we collect

• Information you send us. If you email us or use the contact page, we receive your name, email address and message, and any details you choose to include.
• Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record your IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested and the date and time of the visit in server logs, for security and reliability.
• Cookies and similar technologies. The Site stores a small item in your browser to remember that you have dismissed the privacy notice. Third parties described below may also set cookies.

We do not require you to create an account. We do not collect payment card information, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information.

3. How we use information

• To respond to your messages and requests.
• To operate, secure and improve the Site.
• To measure site performance, if we enable analytics tools.
• To show advertising and earn affiliate commissions, as described below.
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Advertising and third-party cookies

We may display ads served by third-party advertising companies, including Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices or optout.networkadvertising.org. Opting out does not stop ads from appearing; they just may be less relevant.

5. Affiliate links

When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network (for example Amazon or ClickBank) may place a cookie on your device so that a resulting purchase can be credited to us. We do not receive your payment details or account information from the retailer. We only see summary reports about commissions. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

6. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with: (a) service providers that host or help operate the Site; (b) advertising and affiliate partners, to the extent described above; (c) authorities, where required by law or to protect rights and safety; and (d) a successor, if the Site is transferred. Third-party partners handle information under their own privacy policies.

7. How long we keep information

Messages you send us are kept only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping. Server logs are kept for a limited period by our hosting provider. We delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed.

8. Your choices and rights

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, and use the opt-out tools listed above. Depending on where you live (for example California and certain other U.S. states, the UK, or the European Economic Area), you may have the right to ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict certain uses, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To make a request, email contact@cookafill.online with the subject "Privacy request". We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Some browsers send a Global Privacy Control signal; where required by law, we honor it for ad-related sharing that we control.

9. Children

The Site is a general-audience cooking website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no website or transmission over the internet is completely secure.

11. International visitors

The Site is operated from the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.

12. External sites

Our Site links to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.
