Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Dinner Ideas Weekly (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit dinnerideasweekly.com, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Who we are

Dinner Ideas Weekly is an independent recipe website owned and run by Ljube Saragjinov. For anything about this policy or your data, email hello@dinnerideasweekly.com.

Information we collect

• Emails you send us. If you write to us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and your message.
• Server logs. Like most websites, our server records technical data for each request (IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the referring page and the time). We use it to keep the site secure and working.
• Cookies and similar technologies set by Google Analytics and Google AdSense when those services are enabled, as described below.

The site has no user accounts, comments or sign-up forms, and it does not ask for payment details.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website or its partners store in your browser. The recipes on this site work without them; cookies are used only by the analytics and advertising services described below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Google Analytics

When Google Analytics 4 is enabled on the site, we use it to understand how the site is used, for example which recipes are popular and how visitors find them. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages viewed, visit length, device type and approximate location. We use these reports only in aggregate. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

When ads are enabled on the site, they are served by Google AdSense, which keeps the site free.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info, or, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.
• Other third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on this site and may use cookies for the same purposes.

To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and How Google uses cookies in advertising.

Consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland

When analytics or ads are enabled, visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a consent message from a Google-certified consent management platform. Advertising and analytics cookies are used only as you choose in that message, and you can change your choice at any time from the privacy settings link it adds to the page. Without consent, Google may still show non-personalized ads, which use cookies only where the law allows, for example to limit how often an ad is shown and to prevent fraud.

Pinterest

The “Save” buttons on our recipes are ordinary links to Pinterest: Pinterest receives information only when you click one. If we use the Pinterest Tag to measure visits that come from Pinterest, Pinterest may set cookies as described in its privacy policy.

How we use information

• To run, secure and improve the website and its recipes;
• To understand how the site is used (analytics);
• To show advertising that pays for the site;
• To reply to your emails.

We do not sell the information you send us, such as your email address.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its use, and to withdraw consent. Visitors in the EEA or the UK may also complain to their data-protection authority. California residents have rights under the CCPA, including the right to know and to delete personal information. To use any of these rights, email hello@dinnerideasweekly.com.

Children's privacy

This site is meant for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Data retention and security

We keep emails and server logs only as long as we need them for the purposes above, and we take reasonable measures to protect them. No method of sending or storing data over the Internet is completely secure.

Links to other sites

Recipes may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. Changes take effect when they are posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
