1. Who we are
Strawberry Ginger publishes recipes for desserts, baking, and everyday home cooking at strawberryginger.co. Contact for cookie or privacy questions: haithemhamtinee@gmail.com.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and scripts used by us or our partners (including advertising networks).
3. Legal basis and consent (GDPR / PECR)
Under PECR, we need your consent before placing non-essential cookies. Under the GDPR / UK GDPR:

- Preferences, analytics, and advertising cookies — processed only with your consent. You give or refuse consent through our cookie banner (Accept, Reject, or Preferences).
We do not set non-essential cookies or load non-essential advertising/analytics scripts until you consent. Accept and Reject are presented as equal choices. Essential cookies may include storing your consent choice itself.
