Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://cookitbetter.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we gather the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

An anonymized string generated from your email address (known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can find the Gravatar service privacy policy here . Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, it’s best to avoid including images that have embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from the images uploaded.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you won’t have to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies will remain for one year.

If you go to our login page, we will create a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain any personal information and will be deleted when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to remember your login details and display preferences. The login cookies are valid for two days, while the display option cookies last for a year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will stay active for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be deleted. Additionally, if you edit or publish an article, another cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie does not hold any personal data; it simply shows the post ID of the article you just edited and will expire after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may feature embedded content such as videos, images, and articles. This embedded content from other websites functions just like if you had directly visited those sites. These external websites might gather data about you, utilize cookies, incorporate extra third-party tracking, and observe how you interact with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged into that site.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, it and its metadata will be kept indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of placing them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, although they cannot change their username. Website administrators also have access to view and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
