Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Fresh Taste Kitchen (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operating at https://freshtastekitchen.com, values the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy describes how information is collected, used, and protected when you use our website, kitchen calculators, and culinary articles.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly: When you contact us, our contact form opens your own email app with your message ready to send, so we receive your name, email address, and message only when you send that email. We use it only to reply to you and to act on your request, such as a correction.

Information collected automatically: Like most web applications, our web hosting servers automatically record standard technical log entries, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, referring pages, operating system, and date/time stamps. This data is used solely for network security and site stability.

Local Browser Storage: Some tools (the Weekly Meal Planner, Grocery List Generator, Food Storage Date Tracker, and your US/metric unit preference) save what you enter in your browser's localStorage so it's still there when you come back. This data stays on your device and is never sent to us. You can delete it with each tool's delete or clear buttons, or by clearing your browser's site data.

3. Cookies & Advertising Technologies

Fresh Taste Kitchen does not require account registration or track individual users across third-party properties.

If advertising technologies (such as Google AdSense) or web analytics are enabled on this site, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, seeHow Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Consent for visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland: If you visit from these regions, you'll be shown a consent message, provided by Google, before personalized ads or advertising cookies are used. You can accept, decline, or choose specific purposes, and you can change your choice at any time from the privacy or cookie settings link that the message adds to the page. If you decline, you may still see non-personalized ads.

US state privacy rights: Residents of California and other US states with privacy laws can opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising through the Google message shown in those states, or through Google Ads Settings above.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We may use trusted infrastructure providers (cloud hosting, content delivery networks) to serve web assets. These providers only process information as necessary to deliver the site securely and reliably.

5. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the European Economic Area, UK, and California), you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold.

6. Children's Privacy

Our website provides general culinary education and tools. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
