Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact Forms
When you use the contact form on this site, we collect your name, email address, and message content so that we can respond to your inquiry. This information is not sold or shared with third parties.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Third-party services described below (analytics and advertising) may also set their own cookies. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the site may not work properly.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages viewed, time spent on the site, device type, and general geographic location. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising
This site displays advertising served by third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to serve advertising that may be more relevant to you.
You can opt out of personalized advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance, the Network Advertising Initiative, or Your Online Choices if you are located in the European Union.
Affiliate Links and Disclosure
Chewing Happiness participates in affiliate programs, which means some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.
Chewing Happiness is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
We only recommend products we genuinely use or believe will help you cook better. Commissions never influence which products are featured, and they help keep this site running and the recipes free.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
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, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see 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.
Depending on your location, you may also have the right to opt out of certain data collection or the sale of personal information. To make any such request, please contact us.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
