What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Think of cookies as digital breadcrumbs that websites leave on your device. These small text files help us remember your preferences, understand how you navigate our recipes, and improve your seasonal cooking experience. But cookies aren't the only way we gather insights about site usage.

We also use web beacons (tiny invisible images), localStorage (browser-based storage), and analytics scripts that track your journey through our seasonal recipe collections, cooking tutorials, and community features. Each technology serves a specific purpose in enhancing your culinary learning experience.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Experience

When you allow our tracking technologies, we can offer personalized recipe recommendations based on your seasonal preferences. For example, if you frequently browse autumn comfort food recipes, we'll prioritize showing you new fall-inspired content and related cooking techniques.

Our analytics help us identify which cooking tutorials need improvement. If we notice people dropping off halfway through a bread-making video, we know to create additional supporting content or break complex processes into smaller, more digestible steps.

Marketing cookies enable us to show you relevant cooking equipment deals and seasonal ingredient alerts that align with your demonstrated interests, rather than generic advertisements that might not match your culinary style.

Data We Collect & Retention

Managing Your Browser Settings

Every modern browser gives you granular control over cookie acceptance. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, you can access cookie settings through the privacy or security sections of your browser preferences.

You can configure browsers to block third-party cookies while allowing first-party ones from lironimsa.com, or set them to ask permission before storing any tracking data. Some browsers offer "private" or "incognito" modes that automatically reject most tracking technologies.

Remember that blocking essential cookies will limit site functionality. You might lose the ability to stay logged in, save favorite recipes, or maintain your learning progress through our seasonal cooking programs.

Third-Party Services

We work with several trusted partners who help us deliver better cooking education experiences. Google Analytics processes site usage data, while our advertising partners like Facebook and Pinterest help us reach people interested in seasonal cooking content.

These services operate under their own privacy policies and cookie practices. We've configured them to respect your privacy choices whenever possible, but they may collect certain information independently based on your interactions across the web.

Our email newsletter service tracks open rates and click-through data to help us send more relevant seasonal cooking content. Video hosting platforms collect viewing statistics to optimize streaming quality for our cooking tutorials.

Updates & Changes

As we introduce new features to our seasonal cooking platform, we may need to update how we handle data collection. Any significant changes to our tracking practices will be announced through email notifications to registered users and prominent site notices.

We review and update this policy quarterly to ensure accuracy and compliance with evolving privacy regulations. The effective date at the top of this page shows when the current version took effect.
