Welcome to MomRecipeIdeas (the “Site”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on the Site, the types of cookies we place, and how you can manage or opt‑out of them. By using the Site you agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They help the Site remember information about your visit, such as your language preference, items in your shopping cart, or whether you have accepted the cookie notice. Cookies can be first‑party (set by the Site) or third‑party (set by an external service that the Site uses, such as Google Analytics or social media platforms).

Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on the Site. Each category serves a different purpose and may be required for the Site’s functionality or for providing a better user experience.

1. Essential Cookies

Purpose: These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Site. They enable you to navigate the pages, access secure areas, and use interactive features such as the recipe search or the comment section.
Duration: Session or persistent, depending on the function. For example, a session cookie may last until you close your browser, while a persistent cookie might remain for 30 days.
Control: You cannot disable these cookies without disabling the Site’s core features. They are automatically accepted by the browser.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

Purpose: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with the Site. This helps us improve content, design, and overall user experience.
