Privacy Policy

This page explains what information The Practical Plate collects, how advertising on this site works, and the choices you have. Last updated August 2026.

What we collect

The Practical Plate is a static recipe site. We don't require accounts, logins, or personal information to browse or use any recipe. Our hosting provider and any analytics tools we use may automatically log standard technical information (like approximate location, browser type, and pages visited) the way most websites do.

Advertising & cookies

This site is designed to work with Google AdSense. Once ads are active, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. This is standard "interest-based advertising."

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. You can also block cookies generally through your browser settings, though some site features may not work as well as a result.

For more detail on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google's Partner Sites policy.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

California & other state privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to know what information is collected about you and to opt out of its "sale" or sharing for advertising purposes, including through the Google Ads Settings link above. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense — any sharing that happens is limited to the standard advertising-cookie activity described above.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page as the site or its advertising setup changes. Check back occasionally if you'd like to stay current.
