Who we are

CooksGuide is a UK cooking reference site published at cooksguide.co.uk and run by Dan (see About). For anything in this policy, contact [email protected].

Cookies

We do not set any cookies. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see which pages are read and roughly where readers come from. It is a privacy-first, cookieless product: it does not fingerprint visitors, does not track you across other websites, and does not build a profile of you. It records aggregate technical information such as the page URL, referring site, country, browser and device type, and page-load timings.

We cannot identify an individual reader from this data, and we do not try to.

Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. As with any web host, Cloudflare processes the technical information needed to deliver a page to you — including your IP address — and keeps short-lived operational logs for security and abuse prevention. We do not have access to a log of individual visitors, and we do not export or store this data ourselves.

Data stored in your own browser

Some pages remember small preferences on your device only — for example which ingredients you have ticked off on a recipe, so the list survives a scroll or a page reload. This is kept in your browser's local storage, is never sent to us or to anyone else, and is cleared whenever you clear your browsing data.

What we do not do

  • No advertising and no ad-tech tracking scripts.
  • No third-party social, marketing or session-recording pixels.
  • No mailing list, and no account sign-up — we do not ask for your email address.
  • No selling, renting or sharing of personal data. There is none to sell.

Email you send us

If you email us with a question or a correction, we keep that message so we can reply and act on it. We use it for nothing else, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

External links

We sometimes link to other sites, such as UK Food Standards Agency guidance. Those sites have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for them.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or erase personal data we hold about you, and to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. In practice we hold no personal data about readers apart from any email you have chosen to send us. Contact [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.

Changes to this policy

If we ever add something that changes the picture above — a newsletter, or advertising, for instance — we will update this page and change the date at the top before it goes live.
