Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Fiona Recipes (fionarecipes.com) collects when you visit the site, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what choices you have. We have tried to keep it short and specific. It applies only to this website, not to information collected offline or through other channels.
If anything here is unclear, you can reach us through the Contact Us page.
1. Consent and Your Choices
By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or submit any information through it.
For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, we rely on your consent for any non-essential cookies or similar technologies, and on our legitimate interests (running a secure, working website) for essential technical processing. Where we ask for consent, you can withdraw it at any time by clearing the cookies for this site in your browser settings.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the information described below. We do not ask for payment details, and visitors do not need an account to read recipes.
Contact Form
When you write to us through the contact form, we receive your name, your email address, and the content of your message. We use this information only to read and reply to your message.
Ratings and Comments
If you rate a recipe or leave a comment, we receive the name you enter and the text you submit. Comments and ratings may be shown publicly on the recipe page, so please do not include anything you would not want others to read, such as your email address, phone number or home address.
Server Logs
Like most websites, our web server automatically records standard log data when you request a page. This includes:
- Your IP address
- Your browser type
- The pages you requested
We use this data for security, to detect abuse and to troubleshoot technical problems.
First-Party Visit Statistics
To understand which recipes are useful and how visitors find them, we record basic visit statistics on our own server: the page viewed and the referring site. Raw visit records are kept for 7 days. After that, only daily totals remain.
3. How We Use Information
- To reply to messages sent through the contact form.
- To display ratings and comments you submit.
- To keep the site secure, prevent spam and abuse, and fix technical issues.
- To understand overall traffic and decide which recipes and categories to improve or expand.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your contact form details for marketing.
5. Third-Party Services and Links
We use Cloudflare, as described above, to deliver and protect the site. Our server logs and visit statistics are handled on our own infrastructure.
We link to our social profile on Pinterest. If you follow those links, you leave our site and Pinterest's own privacy policy applies to what happens there. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
If we show Google-served advertising on this site in the future, we will describe it here and in any consent notice. In the meantime, you can review and control how Google personalizes ads at https://adssettings.google.com, and read how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
6. Data Retention
- Contact form messages: kept only as long as needed to answer you and handle any follow-up, then deleted.
- Ratings and comments: kept for as long as the recipe page displays them. You can ask us to remove yours at any time.
- Raw visit records: kept 7 days, then reduced to daily totals that do not identify individual visitors.
- Server logs: kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, then deleted.
7. Your Rights Under the GDPR (EEA and UK)
If you are in the EEA or the UK, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

9. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our contact form or comments, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect the information we hold, including encrypted connections and the security protections provided through Cloudflare. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through the contact form or in comments.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices or the site change, or when the law requires it. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when the policy was last revised.
