What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about your visit, such as language preferences, login status, and the contents of your shopping cart. Cookies can be either “session” cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time.

Types of Cookies We Use

Cookingladle uses a variety of cookies to provide you with a smooth, personalised experience. The cookies are grouped into the following categories:

• Essential (Necessary) Cookies – These cookies are vital for the basic functioning of our site. They enable you to navigate pages, use secure areas, and make use of essential features such as the search bar and recipe filters. Without these cookies, the website would not be able to provide you with the services you request.
• Analytics Cookies – We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with Cookingladle. These cookies track page views, user flow, and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. The data is aggregated and anonymised, so no personally identifiable information is stored.

• Preferences Cookies – These cookies remember your personal settings such as language choice, text size, and whether you prefer a light or dark theme. This ensures that your preferences are applied each time you visit Cookingladle.

In addition to the cookies listed above, we may host content from third parties (e.g., embedded YouTube videos, social media widgets). These third parties may also set cookies on your device. We do not have control over these third‑party cookies, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of those providers for more information.
