Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 03, 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that websites store on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and help us understand how visitors interact with our site. Cookies can be session (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored for a set period of time).

Which Cookies Do We Use?

At DailyCookingBites we use a combination of essential, analytics, social media, and preference cookies. Each type serves a specific purpose, and we provide details below so you can make informed choices.

1. Essential (Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are crucial for the basic functioning of the website. They enable features such as secure login, page navigation, and form submission. Without these cookies, the site would not be able to provide you with a safe and functional browsing experience. Examples include:

• Session identifiers that keep you logged in while you navigate the site.
• Security tokens that prevent cross‑site request forgery.
• Cookies that remember items added to your shopping cart.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use the site. This includes data such as:

• Number of visitors and page views.
• Time spent on each page.
• Traffic sources (e.g., search engines, social media).

These cookies help us improve content, optimize performance, and enhance user experience. Google Analytics does not store personal data such as your name or email address. For more details, you can view Google’s own Privacy Policy.

3. Social Media Cookies (Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook)

When you interact with our social media widgets or share content, cookies from Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook are set. They allow the social media platforms to track engagement, provide you with personalized content, and measure the effectiveness of their services. The specific data collected may include:

• Clicks on share buttons.
• Likes and comments on embedded posts.
• Visitor interactions with social media ads.

These cookies are set by the respective social media companies, not by DailyCookingBites. You can manage your social media cookie settings by visiting the privacy settings on each platform.

4. Preferences Cookies

Preference cookies remember your choices for a better browsing experience. They store settings such as language preference, region, or theme choice (light/dark mode). These cookies are not necessary for the core functionality of the site, but they help personalize your visit.
