Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and third parties use cookies for site functions, analytics, advertising, and affiliate tracking. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work properly without them.
Amazon Associates Program
Recipes Palette is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an Amazon link on our site, Amazon may set cookies on your browser and collect information about your visit and purchases so that referrals can be credited to us. Third parties, including Amazon and other advertisers, may serve content and advertisements, collect information directly from visitors, and place or recognize cookies on your browser. We do not receive your name, address, or payment details from Amazon. Amazon’s use of your information is governed by the Amazon Privacy Notice.
Advertising Partners
We use third-party ad partners, including Ezoic and Google, to show ads. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites and to measure ad performance.
- Ezoic: Ezoic may process data such as IP address, device identifiers, and browsing behavior to provide advertising and analytics. See the Ezoic Privacy Policy.
- Google: Google uses advertising cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our site and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings. Learn more at How Google uses cookies in advertising.
You can also opt out of many third-party ad networks at aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
Analytics
We use Google Analytics (through Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited and time on site using cookies. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Comments and Gravatar
When you leave a comment, an anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you have a profile picture. Comments may also be checked by an automated spam-filtering service.
Security and Service Providers
We use hosting, security, caching, and content delivery services (such as Cloudflare) that may process your IP address and technical data to protect and speed up the site.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and for our records. Comments and their metadata are kept until the comment is deleted. Analytics and advertising data is kept according to each provider’s retention settings.

California and other US state residents (CCPA/CPRA and similar laws): We do not sell personal information for money.
