This Privacy Policy explains how Strawberry Ginger (“we”, “us”) handles information when you visit https://strawberryginger.co/, a cooking and baking recipe blog.
1. Who we are
Strawberry Ginger publishes home cooking, baking, and dessert recipes. Contact for privacy questions: haithemhamtinee@gmail.com.
2. What data we collect
- Log and technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, and pages visited, typically collected automatically by the hosting provider and similar infrastructure.
- Messages you send us if you email haithemhamtinee@gmail.com (your email address and message content).
- Cookies and similar technologies used by us or third parties for essential site function, analytics, and advertising, as described below.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners may use:
- Essential cookies for security, load balancing, and basic operation (including remembering your cookie consent choice).
- Preference cookies to remember settings where offered.
- Analytics cookies to understand aggregate traffic and how recipes and pages are used.
- Advertising cookies from third parties to deliver, measure, and personalise ads.
4. Third-party advertising cookies, Google AdSense, and the DoubleClick DART cookie
We may use Google AdSense and related Google advertising services to show ads on this cooking blog.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of the DoubleClick DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- These advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits in order to provide ads about goods and services of interest to you (ad personalisation).
- Partners process data under their own privacy policies. Google’s advertising and privacy documentation (including AdSense programme policies) describes how Google uses data for ads.
5. Ad personalisation and how to opt out
You can control or opt out of personalised advertising in several ways:
- Google Ad Settings: visit Google’s Ads Settings to manage ad personalisation for Google ads.
- DoubleClick / Google advertising opt-out: users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting Google’s ad and content network privacy policy / Ads Settings opt-out tools.
- Industry opt-outs: tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or Your Online Choices (where available in your region).
- Browser and device controls: block or delete cookies, or limit ad tracking on your device. Blocking all cookies may affect site features.
Opting out of personalised ads does not mean you will see no ads; you may still see generic or contextual ads.
You can also reopen this site’s cookie banner via Cookie preferences in the footer to change non-essential consent where that control is available.
6. Analytics
We may use analytics tools (including Google Analytics or similar services, if enabled) to measure aggregate traffic, popular recipes, and technical performance. These tools may set cookies and collect technical data such as IP address (sometimes truncated), device information, and page views. Analytics providers process data under their own policies. You can often limit analytics via browser controls, consent settings, or vendor opt-outs where offered.
7. How we use information
- To operate and improve the blog and recipe pages.
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To display advertising and measure performance (including via Google AdSense and similar services).
- To understand aggregate site usage through analytics.
- To protect security and prevent abuse.
8. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product. We may share data with service providers who help us host the site, deliver email, measure analytics, or show ads (such as Google), subject to their terms and policies. We may also disclose information if required by law.
9. Data retention
We retain emails and operational logs only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law.
10. Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of personal data. To make a request about your data, email haithemhamtinee@gmail.com.
12. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
