We use cookies and other technologies to ensure everyone who uses Good Tasty Recipes has a great user experience. By continuing to visit or use our services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purposes we describe in this policy.

We use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, mobile device IDs, and similar files and technologies to collect and store the information we automatically collect about your computer, device, and use of our website (“Website”). This cookie policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them:

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a certain webpage. Cookies are then sent back to the originating webpage on each subsequent visit, or to another webpage that recognises that cookie. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website.

Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited the Website before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

There are two broad categories of cookies:

First-party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device.
Third-party cookies, which are served by a third party on our behalf. We use third-party cookies for functionality, performance, analytics, advertising, and social media purposes.

Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are ‘session cookies, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are ‘permanent cookies, meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. They can be used by the Website to recognize your computer when you open your browser and browse the Internet again.

For more general information on cookies, please read “What Are Cookies”.
