Privacy & Cookie Policy

Plain-English, like everything else around here. Last updated: June 2026.

Our Grannies' Recipes ("we", "us") operates www.ourgranniesrecipes.com. This page explains what information we collect when you visit, why we collect it, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect as little as possible, and we never sell your personal information.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you contact us or submit a recipe, we collect your name, email address and whatever you include in your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we (and the third-party services below) may automatically collect standard technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and time on page. This is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to keep it working well.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We use, or may use, the following kinds:

Essential cookies — required for the site to function (for example, remembering a cookie-consent choice).

Analytics cookies — help us understand which recipes people love so we can make more of them (e.g. Google Analytics or a privacy-friendly equivalent). Data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Advertising cookies — this site is supported by advertising. Our advertising partners (such as Google AdSense, Mediavine or Raptive) may use cookies to serve ads, including personalised ads where you have consented. These partners have their own privacy policies and opt-outs. You can learn about personalised advertising choices at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu.

You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. The site will still work.

Newsletter

Our email list is strictly opt-in. We use it to send you recipes — nothing else. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you promptly. We never sell, rent or share our list.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us or email hello@ourgranniesrecipes.com — we'll respond within 30 days.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Data retention & security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, and we use reputable providers with industry-standard security for anything we store. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will be flagged on the homepage.
