Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
We use tracking technologies on revert.app-mesv4.com to improve your experience and understand how you interact with our recipe content. This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We believe in transparency about the data we collect and how it helps us serve you better.
What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences and understand how you navigate through our recipes. Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage to enhance your experience.
These technologies don't harm your device. They simply allow our website to recognize you when you return, remember your settings, and help us analyze which recipes are most popular with our community.
Types of Tracking We Use
E Essential Tracking
These are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering items you've added to your recipe collection. Without these, our site simply wouldn't work.
F Functional Tracking
These remember your choices and preferences. For example, they store your preferred measurement units (metric or imperial), dietary restrictions you've set, and your language preferences. They make your experience more personal.
A Analytical Tracking
We use these to understand how visitors interact with our recipes. They tell us which dishes are most popular, how long people spend reading instructions, and where they might get confused. This helps us create better content for you.
M Marketing Tracking
These help us show you relevant recipe suggestions and culinary tips based on what you've viewed. They also prevent you from seeing the same promotional content repeatedly. You can opt out of these at any time.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
Recipe Personalization
When you browse our collection, we remember which cuisines you explore most. If you often check out vegetarian recipes, we'll highlight new plant-based dishes that might interest you. This saves you time and helps you discover recipes you'll actually want to make.
Improved Navigation
Tracking helps us see where people get stuck or confused. Maybe everyone abandons the search function halfway through, or perhaps our ingredient filter isn't clear enough. These insights let us fix problems you might not even report.
Content Development
We analyze which recipes get saved most often and which ones people come back to repeatedly. This tells us what kind of content resonates with our community, so we can create more of what you actually want to cook.
Specific Examples of Tracking in Action
When you save a recipe to your collection, we store that preference so it's there when you return next week. If you always convert our recipes from cups to grams, we remember that choice. When you search for "quick dinner," we note that many users do the same on Tuesday evenings, which helps us understand when to feature fast recipes.
Our analytical tracking shows us that mobile users often zoom in on ingredient lists, which led us to increase font sizes on smaller screens. That kind of insight comes directly from understanding how you interact with our site.
Managing Your Preferences
You have complete control over non-essential tracking. Here's how to manage what we collect:
- Open your browser settings menu (usually found in the top right corner)
- Look for Privacy, Security, or Settings options
- Find the section about cookies or site data
- Choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or customize by site
- You can also clear existing cookies from this same menu
Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will affect site functionality. You might not be able to save recipes, adjust preferences, or see personalized recommendations. Essential cookies are necessary for the site to work at all.
Browser-Specific Instructions
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" option, though not all websites honor this setting. We respect these signals for marketing tracking but maintain essential and functional cookies for site operation.
Data Retention and Storage
Different tracking technologies have different lifespans on your device:
| Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Maintain your activity during a single visit |
| Persistent Cookies | Up to 12 months | Remember preferences between visits |
| Analytics Data | 26 months | Understand long-term usage patterns |
| Marketing Pixels | 6 months | Show relevant content and measure effectiveness |
We regularly review and delete data that's no longer necessary. Your saved recipes and account preferences remain until you choose to delete them.
Third-Party Tracking
Some tracking technologies on our site come from external services we use. For instance, if we embed a video tutorial from another platform, that service might place its own tracking elements. We only work with reputable partners who respect user privacy.
These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern their tracking practices. We encourage you to review those policies if you have concerns about specific services embedded on our site.
Your Rights and Control
You can request to see what data we've collected about you through tracking technologies. You can ask us to delete this data or export it in a readable format. If you're in the European Economic Area, you have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to object to certain types of processing.
Blocking tracking doesn't mean we forget who you are if you have an account. Your account data (saved recipes, profile information) is separate from tracking data and is governed by our main Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally as our practices evolve or when regulations change. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through a banner on the website or via email if you have an account with us.
The date at the top of this policy shows when it was last updated. We encourage you to review it periodically, especially if you have concerns about tracking and privacy.
