Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Recipino (the “Website”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information. “Personal information” means information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to an individual.

1) Who we are

Recipino is operated by Olivia (“I,” “me,” “my”).
For any privacy-related questions or requests, please contact me via the Website’s Contact Us page.

2) Information we collect

A) Information you provide to us

Contact Us form: If you contact me through the Contact Us form, I collect:

  • Name

  • Email address

You may also provide additional personal information in the text of your message (if a message field exists on your form).

I do not collect email addresses for newsletters or marketing lists.

B) Information collected automatically

When you visit the Website, certain information is collected automatically through server logs, cookies, and similar technologies, such as:

  • IP address (which may indicate general location)

  • Device and browser type

  • Operating system

  • Referring/exit pages

  • Pages viewed, time spent, clicks, and other usage data

  • Approximate location (derived from IP, depending on settings and services)

3) Cookies and similar technologies

The Website may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to:

  • Provide core site functionality

  • Understand traffic and usage (analytics)

  • Deliver and measure advertising

  • Track affiliate referrals (e.g., Amazon)

Important: You indicated you do not use a cookie banner/consent tool. Depending on where your visitors are located, a cookie banner and opt-in consent mechanism may be legally required for certain cookies (especially advertising and analytics). You are responsible for implementing any required consent tooling.

4) How we use information

We use personal information to:

  • Respond to inquiries sent through the Contact Us page

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Website

  • Monitor performance, troubleshoot, and prevent fraud/abuse

  • Understand audience behavior and improve content

  • Run advertising and measure ad performance

  • Track affiliate referrals and commissions

5) Analytics (Google Analytics)

The Website uses Google Analytics to help understand how visitors use the Website. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data and generate reports.

You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data and review available controls through Google’s privacy resources and your browser settings (for example, cookie controls and ad personalization controls).

6) Advertising (third-party ad networks)

Recipino displays ads served by third-party advertising networks and partners, which may include (without limitation) platforms such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, and Raptive (formerly AdThrive), as well as other networks you may enable over time.

These partners may collect information via cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to:

  • Serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites

  • Measure ad performance

  • Limit repetition and prevent fraud

Opt-out options: Depending on your device and region, you may be able to manage interest-based ads through browser settings, device settings, and industry opt-out tools provided by advertising organizations.

7) Affiliate links (Amazon Associates)

Recipino participates in the Amazon Associates affiliate program. If you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may use cookies or similar technologies to track your visit and attribute purchases for commission purposes. Amazon’s collection and use of your information is governed by Amazon’s own privacy policies.

8) When we share information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers and vendors who help operate the Website (e.g., analytics, hosting, security, and advertising partners). They may process data on our behalf under their own terms and privacy practices.

  • Legal and safety reasons if required to comply with applicable law, court orders, or lawful requests, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

  • Business changes if the Website is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction.

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense. However, some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include certain advertising and analytics disclosures (such as cross-site tracking for targeted advertising). If you want to minimize this, use cookie controls, ad personalization controls, and privacy-focused browser settings.

9) Data retention

  • Contact inquiries: Retained only as long as necessary to respond, maintain records, and resolve issues, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted.

  • Analytics/advertising data: Retention is governed by the settings of the relevant third-party tools and platforms and may be stored for varying periods.

10) Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11) Your choices and controls

Depending on your location and device, you may be able to:

  • Control cookies via your browser settings (block or delete cookies)

  • Use private browsing or privacy-focused browsers/extensions

  • Adjust device-level advertising settings (where available)

  • Use Google ad personalization controls (where available)

If you disable cookies, parts of the Website may not function properly, and advertising/affiliate tracking may be less relevant.

12) Children’s privacy

Recipino is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Contact Us form, please contact us via the Contact Us page and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

13) Third-party links

The Website may include links to third-party websites (including Amazon and ad partners). This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party sites. Please review their policies before providing information.

14) International visitors

Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live, including where service providers (such as analytics, advertising, and affiliate partners) operate. Data protection laws may differ by jurisdiction.

15) Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Website after changes means you accept the updated policy.
