Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 10/27/2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information A Crispy Cookies (acrispycookies.com) collects when you visit the site, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what choices you have. It applies to this website only. It does not cover other websites that we link to, such as our Pinterest profile, or the advertisers whose ads may appear on our pages.

If anything here is unclear, you can reach us through the Contact Us page.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information described below. We do not ask you to create an account to browse or read recipes.

Contact Form

If you write to us through the contact form, we ask for your name, your email address and your message. We use this information only to read your message and reply to you. We do not add you to a mailing list or use your details for any other purpose.

Recipe Ratings and Comments

If you rate a recipe or leave a comment, we receive the name you enter and the text you submit. Your comment and name may be displayed publicly beneath the recipe, so please do not include personal details you do not want others to see.

Server Logs

Like most websites, our web server automatically records standard technical information when a page is requested: your IP address, your browser type and the pages requested. We use these logs for security and troubleshooting, for example to detect abuse or to find the cause of an error.

Visit Statistics

We measure how the site is used with a first-party statistics system that runs on our own server. It records which page was viewed and the referring page. Raw visit records are kept for 7 days, after which only daily totals remain. These totals help us see which recipes and categories readers find useful.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. On this site they come from the following sources:

  • Google AdSense. We show advertising through Google AdSense, which uses cookies to serve and measure ads. Personalized ads are shown only with your consent. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland see a Google consent message where they can accept or decline.
  • Cloudflare. We use Cloudflare for content delivery and security. Cloudflare may set technical cookies that help protect the site and deliver pages reliably.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Each browser explains how on its own help pages. Blocking cookies does not stop you from reading recipes, although some ad and security features may behave differently.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Providers

Google is a third-party vendor on this site. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this site and to other websites. You can control this in the following ways:

This policy does not govern how Google, Cloudflare or Pinterest handle data under their own policies. Please read their privacy policies for details. Our site links to our Pinterest profile; once you open it, Pinterest's own privacy policy applies.

5. How We Use Information

  • To reply to messages sent through the contact form.
  • To display ratings and comments you submit.
  • To keep the site secure, find errors and prevent abuse.
  • To understand which pages are read so we can improve our recipes and navigation.
  • To show advertising that helps cover the cost of running the site.

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money.

6. Data Retention

  • Contact messages: kept as long as needed to answer you and handle any follow-up, then deleted.
  • Ratings and comments: kept with the recipe they belong to until you ask us to remove them or we delete them.
  • First-party visit records: raw records are deleted after 7 days, leaving only daily totals that do not identify you.
  • Server logs: kept only for as long as needed for security and troubleshooting.

Data held by Google and Cloudflare is retained according to their own policies.

7. GDPR Data Protection Rights

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • The right to access – You can request a copy of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification – You can ask us to correct information you believe is inaccurate.
  • The right to erasure – You can ask us to erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • The right to restrict processing – You can ask us to restrict how we process your data, under certain conditions.
  • The right to object to processing – You can object to our processing of your data, under certain conditions.
  • The right to data portability – You can ask us to transfer your data to you or to another organization, under certain conditions.
  • The right to withdraw consent – Where processing is based on your consent, such as personalized ads, you can withdraw it at any time.

We aim to respond to requests within one month. To exercise any of these rights, use the Contact Us page. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

8. CCPA/CPRA Privacy Rights for California Residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, California residents have the right to:

  • Know which categories and specific pieces of personal information a business has collected about them.
  • Request deletion of personal information a business has collected from them.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information, including sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • Not be treated unfavorably for exercising any of these rights.

We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising cookies from Google may count as "sharing" under California law. You can opt out through your Google ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com or by declining advertising cookies in your browser. To make a request, use the Contact Us page.

9. Children's Privacy

This site is a general audience recipe site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through the contact form or a comment, please tell us through the Contact Us page and we will delete it.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, and Cloudflare provides security protection for the site. No method of transmission over the internet or of storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices or the services we use change. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised. Please check back occasionally. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
