At FoodieCake (foodiecake.com), your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described on this page.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you browse the site. When you leave a comment or contact us by email, we receive the details you provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. When you simply read our articles, our servers automatically record standard log information, including your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve FoodieCake: to publish and manage comments, to respond to your emails, to understand which topics our readers enjoy so we can create more of them, and to keep the website secure and free of spam. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
Cookies
FoodieCake uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to remember your preferences, to understand how visitors use the site, and to support advertising. You can disable cookies at any time in your browser settings; the site will still work, although some features may be less convenient. If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies so that you do not have to fill in your details again next time.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to measure traffic and understand how readers find and use our content. These tools set cookies and report information such as the pages you viewed, how long you stayed, and the device and browser you used. This data is aggregated and is used only to improve the website.
Advertising
FoodieCake may display advertising provided by third-party advertising partners, such as Google AdSense. These partners may use cookies to show you ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising through the ad settings of the relevant service. We do not control the cookies set by third-party advertisers, and their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies.
Comments
When you leave a comment on FoodieCake, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser user agent string to help detect spam. Comments and their metadata are retained so that we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically. Please do not share sensitive personal information in a comment, because comments are visible to other visitors.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we use it, or receive a copy of it. If you have left comments on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, and you can ask us to erase that data, except for anything we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To make a request, email us at contact@foodiecake.com.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the website grows or the law changes. Any updates will be posted on this page, and continued use of the site after changes are published means you accept the updated policy.
