1) What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
2) How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Ensure the website functions properly and securely (e.g., load pages, protect from spam/abuse).
- Remember your preferences (e.g., cookie consent choices).
- Understand how visitors use our site (so we can improve content and user experience).
- Support features like embedded forms, social sharing, or video players.
- In the future, support advertising and affiliate programs in a privacy-conscious way.
3) Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary Cookies – Essential for the site to function and cannot be switched off (e.g., security, load balancing, basic performance). These do not store personally identifiable information.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies – Help us understand how visitors interact with the site (pages visited, time on page, error messages). Data is aggregated and used to improve the site.
- Functionality Cookies – Remember choices you make (such as region or preferences) to provide enhanced, more personal features.
- Advertising & Targeting Cookies (Future/Optional) – May be used to deliver ads more relevant to you and your interests, limit ad repetition, and measure campaign effectiveness. These may be set by us or third parties (e.g., ad networks). You will be able to opt-in/opt-out where required by law.
4) Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. For example, embedded analytics, video players, social media widgets, or form providers may set their own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies. Please review the respective third-party privacy/cookie policies for more information on how they use cookies and how to manage them.
5) Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics)
We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to collect aggregated information about site usage (e.g., pages visited, time spent, device type). This helps us improve content and user experience. Analytics data is typically de-identified and does not allow us to identify you personally.
Opt-out options:
- Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Google’s Privacy & Terms: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
6) Advertising & Affiliates (Present or Future)
We may participate in advertising or affiliate programs in the future (e.g., display ads, sponsored content, or affiliate links). If enabled, advertising partners or affiliate platforms may set cookies or similar tracking technologies to deliver relevant content and to measure performance. We will update this section and our Privacy Policy if/when such partners are added.
Ad/interest-based advertising choices:
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/

8) Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. There is no common standard for DNT handling, and our site does not currently respond to DNT signals. We will update this policy if that changes.
9) Your Rights (GDPR/EEA/UK)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, or the UK, and to the extent applicable, you may have the right to request access to, correction or deletion of your personal data; to object to or restrict certain processing; and to data portability. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Where consent is the legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time.
10) Your Rights (CCPA/CPRA – California)
California residents may have rights regarding access to, deletion of, or information about personal information we collect, use, or disclose. We do not sell personal information. If we ever engage in “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, we will provide appropriate notice and choices. To exercise your rights, please contact us at frugaleatskitchen@gmail.com.

Our website and content are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
