Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 23, 2025

At Foodie Notebook, accessible from https://foodienotebook.com, your privacy is critically important to us. This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information collected and recorded by Foodie Notebook and how we use it.

Who We Are

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

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen options cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the edited article. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content behaves exactly the same as if you visited the source website.

These third-party websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

Who We Share Your Data With

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in moderation.

For users that register on our site (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except username changes). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This excludes data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

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

Third-Party Services and AdSense

We use third-party services such as Google AdSense to serve ads. These services may collect non-personal information through cookies and web beacons to personalize ads you see.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting: https://www.google.com/settings/ads
