These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual terms.

5. How Long Cookies Remain

Cookies may be classified according to how long they remain on a device.

Session cookies

Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed.

They may support temporary website functions such as navigation, security, or form completion.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on a device after the browser is closed until:

  • Their stated expiration date;
  • They are replaced;
  • The visitor deletes them;
  • Consent is withdrawn; or
  • The service that placed them removes them.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the service that placed it.

6. Categories of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support essential website operations.

They may be used to:

  • Load and display webpages;
  • Maintain website security;
  • Prevent malicious traffic;
  • Store cookie-consent choices;
  • Support forms;
  • Balance website traffic;
  • Remember temporary session information; and
  • Protect the website from fraud or abuse.

These cookies cannot always be disabled through our consent banner because the website may not function correctly without them.

Visitors may still block them through browser settings, but doing so may affect website functionality.

Preference and Functionality Cookies

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices made by a visitor.

They may remember:

  • Language preferences;
  • Display preferences;
  • Previously selected options;
  • Form settings;
  • Accessibility preferences; and
  • Other non-essential choices.

These cookies are optional where consent is legally required.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use Taya Recipes.

They may collect information such as:

  • Pages viewed;
  • Time spent on pages;
  • Referring websites;
  • General device category;
  • Browser type;
  • Approximate location;
  • Website interactions;
  • Technical errors; and
  • General traffic patterns.

We use analytics information to:

  • Understand which recipes are useful;
  • Improve website navigation;
  • Identify broken pages;
  • Measure website performance;
  • Diagnose technical problems; and
  • Improve the visitor experience.

Where legally required, analytics cookies are not activated until the visitor gives consent.

Advertising Cookies

Taya Recipes may display advertisements through Google or other advertising partners.

Advertising cookies and related technologies may be used to:

  • Display advertisements;
  • Select advertisements;
  • Measure advertisement performance;
  • Limit how often an advertisement appears;
  • Detect invalid traffic;
  • Prevent advertising fraud;
  • Understand whether an advertisement was viewed or selected;
  • Provide personalized advertising where consent permits; and
  • Provide non-personalized or limited advertisements where appropriate.

Advertising partners may associate information collected on Taya Recipes with information collected from other websites, applications, or services, subject to their policies and applicable consent requirements.

Social Media and Embedded Content Cookies

Some pages may contain embedded or linked content from third-party platforms, such as:

  • Pinterest Pins or widgets;
  • Video players;
  • Social-sharing tools;
  • Embedded social posts; or
  • Other interactive content.

When a visitor interacts with embedded content, the relevant third party may receive information about that interaction.

That third party may place or access cookies according to its own privacy policy.

7. Google Analytics

Taya Recipes may use Google Analytics 4 to understand website visits and performance.

Google Analytics may process information such as:

  • Page views;
  • Session activity;
  • Referral sources;
  • Browser and device information;
  • Approximate geographic information;
  • Website events;
  • Cookie identifiers; and
  • Interaction information.

Google Analytics 4 commonly uses first-party cookies to distinguish users and sessions.

We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, contact-form messages, passwords, or other directly identifying information to Google Analytics.

Where required, analytics storage is denied until a visitor provides consent through the website’s consent-management platform.

8. Google Consent Mode

Taya Recipes may use Google Consent Mode with its cookie banner.

Consent Mode communicates a visitor’s consent choices to Google tags. The tags then adjust their behavior based on whether consent for analytics or advertising has been granted or denied. Consent Mode does not replace the consent banner itself.

Depending on our configuration, consent signals may include:

  • analytics_storage;
  • ad_storage;
  • ad_user_data;
  • ad_personalization;
  • functionality_storage;
  • personalization_storage; and
  • security_storage.

Visitors may grant or deny consent for eligible categories.

9. Google Advertising Services

Taya Recipes may use services such as Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager, or related Google advertising technologies.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies for:

  • Advertisement delivery;
  • Advertisement measurement;
  • Frequency limitation;
  • Invalid-traffic detection;
  • Fraud prevention;
  • Personalized advertising where consent is provided; and
  • Non-personalized or restricted advertising where appropriate.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Taya Recipes uses or intends to use a Google-certified consent-management platform when required for Google advertising.

Google’s advertising services may use information according to Google’s own privacy policies and consent requirements.

10. WordPress Cookies

Taya Recipes is operated using WordPress.

WordPress or installed WordPress components may use cookies for features such as:

  • Website administration;
  • Logged-in sessions;
  • Comment preferences;
  • Security;
  • Form processing;
  • Spam prevention;
  • Website settings; and
  • Consent management.

Ordinary visitors are not required to create a WordPress account to read recipes.

Administrative login cookies are intended for authorized website administrators and are not ordinarily placed for general visitors who are not logged in.

11. Comment Cookies

When comments are enabled, visitors may be offered the option to save their:

  • Name;
  • Email address; and
  • Website address.

These details may be stored in cookies so the visitor does not need to enter them again when leaving another comment.

Comment cookies are optional and should be activated only when the visitor selects the relevant option.

Comments may also be checked through an anti-spam or security service.

12. Security and Traffic-Protection Cookies

Taya Recipes may use hosting, firewall, content-delivery, or security providers.

These services may place cookies or process technical identifiers to:

  • Identify suspicious traffic;
  • Prevent automated attacks;
  • Apply rate limits;
  • Detect malicious requests;
  • Protect forms;
  • Maintain website availability; and
  • Distinguish legitimate visitors from automated systems.

Security cookies are generally considered necessary because they help protect the website and its visitors.

13. Consent-Management Cookies

Our consent-management platform may place a cookie or local-storage record to remember:

  • Whether the visitor accepted cookies;
  • Whether the visitor rejected optional cookies;
  • Which categories were selected;
  • The date of the choice;
  • The policy or banner version shown; and
  • The visitor’s region where required for consent behavior.

These records help us respect the visitor’s choices during future visits.

14. Pinterest and Our Publishing Integration

Taya Recipes may operate an internal publishing tool called Taya Recipes Publisher.

The tool connects an authorized Taya Recipes Pinterest Business account using Pinterest’s official OAuth process. It may be used by an authorized administrator to:

  • Select a recipe;
  • Choose a Pinterest board;
  • Prepare approved Pin content;
  • Publish a Pin;
  • Confirm publication status; and
  • Review permitted information relating to Taya Recipes’ own Pins.

The internal Pinterest API publishing workflow is not intended to place Pinterest advertising cookies on the devices of ordinary Taya Recipes visitors.

However, Pinterest may place or access cookies when a visitor:

  • Opens Pinterest;
  • Interacts with an embedded Pinterest feature;
  • Uses a Pinterest sharing tool;
  • Follows a link to Pinterest; or
  • Interacts with the Pinterest Tag, if the Tag is installed in the future.

Pinterest’s own privacy policy and cookie practices apply when visitors use Pinterest services.

Taya Recipes will update this Cookie Policy and its consent configuration before using the Pinterest Tag or another Pinterest advertising-measurement technology that requires additional disclosure or consent.

15. Other Embedded Services

Taya Recipes may embed content from other providers, including video, social-media, or recipe-related platforms.

Embedded content may behave as though the visitor accessed the third-party website directly.

The third party may:

  • Place cookies;
  • Receive the visitor’s IP address;
  • Receive browser or device information;
  • Measure interaction with embedded content; and
  • Associate the interaction with an existing third-party account.

Where possible and legally required, optional embedded content will remain blocked until the visitor gives consent.

  • A plugin is added or removed;
  • Advertising providers change;
  • Analytics settings change;
  • A security provider changes;
  • A third-party feature is enabled; or
  • A provider changes its cookie names or durations.

The banner should provide clear options to:

Browser extensions and opt-out tools are controlled by their providers and may not block every form of measurement or storage.

20. Global Privacy Signals

Where legally required and technically supported, Taya Recipes may recognize browser-based privacy preference signals, such as an eligible opt-out signal.
