Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 3, 2025
Our Promise
Simple Recipes is built on the principle that your privacy matters. We believe you should be able to browse recipes without being tracked, profiled, or bombarded with ads.
What We Don't Do
- No Tracking: We don't track your browsing behavior, clicks, or page views
- No Fingerprinting: We don't collect device information, screen size, or browser details to identify you
- No Personal Data Collection: We don't collect names, emails, addresses, or any personal information
- No Cookies: We don't set tracking cookies or use local storage to follow you
- No Analytics: We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking tools
- No Ads: We don't show advertisements or work with ad networks
- No Third-Party Scripts: We don't embed social media widgets or other tracking scripts
- No Data Sales: We have no data to sell because we don't collect any
What We Do Store
The only data stored locally on your device is:
- Unit Preferences: Your choice between metric/imperial measurements (stored in your browser's localStorage)
- Temperature Preferences: Your choice between Celsius/Fahrenheit (stored in your browser's localStorage)
This preference data never leaves your device and is only used to remember your measurement choices when you return to the site.
Technical Details
Simple Recipes is a static website, meaning:
- No server-side processing of user data
- No databases storing personal information
- No user accounts or login systems
- All functionality works without JavaScript (progressive enhancement)
Hosting and Infrastructure
Simple Recipes is hosted on Netlify with Cloudflare for caching and DNS. While Cloudflare provides basic web analytics, we've configured it to:
- Not fingerprint users
- Not track users across websites
- Only collect aggregate, anonymous metrics
