Cookie Policy

Discover how we use cookies and tracking to personalize your experience, protect data, and enhance recipe recommendations.

Last updated: June 3, 2026

Cookie Policy Overview

Welcome to Arbmom Recipe! This Cookie Policy explains how we use small pieces of data called cookies to make your culinary adventure smoother, safer, and more delicious.

What are cookies? Cookies are tiny text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They remember your preferences, track your navigation, and help the site recognize you on future visits—think of them as the secret ingredients that keep the digital kitchen organized.

Why does Arbmom Recipe use cookies? We rely on cookies for several tasty reasons: essential functionality (keeping you logged in and saving your favorite recipes), performance insights (understanding which pages delight you most so we can improve them), personalized content (suggesting recipes that match your taste buds), and advertising (delivering relevant offers without overwhelming you). All of these help us serve a faster, more relevant experience.

We respect the laws that protect your privacy. While the United States does not have a single federal cookie law, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents and honor the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for visitors from the European Economic Area. This means we provide clear notice, obtain consent where required, and give you control over your data.

Your rights to control cookies are simple and empowering. You can: (1) accept all cookies for a seamless experience, (2) reject non‑essential cookies while still enjoying core site features, or (3) delete or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you manage cookies in the “Privacy” or “Security” sections, and you can also use our built‑in cookie preferences banner at the bottom of the page.

If you have questions, need help adjusting your settings, or want to exercise any privacy rights—such as accessing, correcting, or deleting your personal data—please reach out to us at [email protected]. We’re here to ensure your cooking journey stays flavorful and your privacy stays protected.

What Are Cookies?

What are cookies? In the simplest terms, a cookie is a tiny piece of data that a website stores on your computer, tablet, or phone. Think of it as a digital post‑it note that helps the site remember who you are and what you like, so the next time you visit, the experience feels familiar and personalized.

How do cookies work? When you land on a page, the site’s server sends one or more cookies to your browser. Your browser saves these little text files locally. Every time you click a link or load a new page on that same site, your browser automatically includes the relevant cookies in the request headers. The server reads them and can tailor the response—showing you your saved recipes, language preferences, or items in your shopping cart.

First‑party vs. third‑party cookies are distinguished by who creates them. First‑party cookies come directly from the website you’re visiting (e.g., arbmomrecipe.com) and are used for core functions like keeping you logged in or remembering your favorite cuisines. Third‑party cookies are set by external domains, often for advertising or analytics purposes, such as a social‑media widget that tracks how often its button is clicked.

Session vs. persistent cookies describe how long the data lives. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open; they disappear the moment you close the window, making them ideal for temporary tasks like keeping items in a shopping cart during a single visit. Persistent cookies stay on your device for days, weeks, or even years, unless you delete them. These are used to remember your login credentials, language settings, or favorite recipes across multiple visits.

How Arbmom Recipe uses cookies is straightforward and privacy‑focused. We set first‑party session cookies to maintain your browsing session—so you can add ingredients to your “Meal Planner” without losing them if you navigate to another recipe. Persistent cookies remember your preferred measurement system (metric or imperial) and the cuisines you explore most, delivering relevant suggestions each time you return. We also employ a small, anonymized third‑party analytics cookie to understand which recipes are most popular, helping us create more of the dishes you love.

In short, cookies are the silent helpers that make your Arbmom Recipe experience smoother, faster, and more delicious. By understanding what they do, you can enjoy the site with confidence, knowing exactly how your culinary preferences are being remembered.

Types of Cookies Used

Welcome to the tasty world of Arbmom Recipe—where every click brings you a pinch of inspiration, a dash of convenience, and a sprinkle of personalization. To keep our kitchen running smoothly online, we use a variety of cookies that enhance your browsing experience, protect your data, and help us serve up the content you love. Below is a quick, flavorful guide to the different cookie types that power our Recipe Portal.

  • Essential / Necessary Cookies

    These are the bread‑and‑butter cookies that keep the site alive. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to navigate between recipes, add ingredients to your shopping list, or submit a comment. They remember your session, keep you logged in, and ensure the security of your data.

    • Session_ID – tracks your active visit.
    • Auth_Token – verifies your login status.
    • CSRF_Protection – guards against cross‑site request forgery.
  • Functional Cookies

    These cookies add a little extra flavor to your visit. They remember your preferences, such as the default measurement system (metric or imperial) and the language you prefer for recipes.

    • Lang_Pref – stores your chosen language.
    • Units_Pref – saves metric vs. imperial settings.
    • Video_Autoplay – remembers if you like videos to start automatically.
  • Analytics / Performance Cookies

    Just like a chef tasting a sauce, these cookies help us fine‑tune the site. They collect anonymous data on page loads, click‑through rates, and which recipes get the most love. This insight lets us improve speed, fix bugs, and highlight the dishes you crave.

    • GA_Visitor_ID – unique identifier for Google Analytics.
    • Page_Speed – measures load times across devices.
    • Heatmap_Data – shows where users interact most.
  • Marketing / Advertising Cookies

    These are the secret ingredients that help us share the right recipes at the right time. They track your browsing behavior (anonymously) to serve personalized ads for cooking classes, kitchen gadgets, and seasonal ingredient bundles.

    • Ad_Retarget – follows you across the web for relevant offers.
    • Campaign_ID – ties clicks back to specific promotions.
    • Conversion_Tracker – measures the success of our campaigns.
  • Preference Cookies

    Think of these as the custom seasoning blend you keep on the shelf. They remember your favorite categories—desserts, vegan, quick‑weeknight meals—and tailor the homepage to showcase the recipes you’re most likely to bake next.

    • Fav_Categories – stores your top recipe genres.
    • Saved_Recipes – keeps a list of dishes you’ve bookmarked.
    • Theme_Choice – remembers dark or light mode preferences.
  • Recipe Portal‑Specific Functionality Cookies

    Our portal has a few unique tools that need a little extra cookie power. From the interactive ingredient‑substitution calculator to the step‑by‑step timer that syncs across devices, these cookies ensure every culinary adventure runs without a hitch.

    • Timer_State – saves active cooking timers.
    • Substitutions_Log – records your ingredient swaps for future reference.
    • Pantry_Sync – syncs your personal pantry inventory across phone and desktop.

At Arbmom Recipe, we believe transparency is as important as a well‑balanced flavor profile. By understanding the role each cookie plays, you can savor a seamless, personalized cooking experience—whether you’re whisking up a quick snack or perfecting a holiday feast. Happy baking!

Essential Cookies Overview

At Arbmom Recipe, we believe that every great dish starts with the right foundation – and the same goes for our website. Essential cookies are the digital ingredients that keep the Recipe Portal running smoothly, safely, and personally for every food lover who visits us.

What makes a cookie “essential”? These are the tiny data files that are absolutely necessary for the core functions of the site. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to log in, add recipes to your favorites, or even navigate between pages without errors. They don’t track your browsing habits for marketing; they simply enable the features you expect from a modern, secure recipe platform.

  • Authentication cookies – Remember your login state so you stay signed in while you explore new meals or edit your own recipes.
  • Security cookies – Protect your session from hijacking, verify that you’re a genuine user, and help us detect suspicious activity.
  • Basic functionality cookies – Remember your language preference, keep your shopping list items across pages, and preserve your customized filter settings.

Because these cookies are the backbone of the site, they cannot be disabled without breaking vital services. Turning them off would log you out instantly, erase your saved recipes, and could expose you to security risks. That’s why we only use the minimum amount needed to deliver a seamless, safe, and personalized cooking experience.

How essential cookies power the Recipe Portal:

  • Enable instant access to your saved collections, so you can pick up where you left off.
  • Secure your personal data during checkout when you order specialty ingredients.
  • Maintain your session state while you browse step‑by‑step cooking tutorials.
  • Support real‑time features like comment posting and rating submissions.

In the United States, the use of essential cookies aligns with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other state privacy statutes that distinguish between “strictly necessary” and “non‑essential” data collection. These laws allow businesses to process essential cookies without explicit consent, provided they are disclosed clearly and used solely for the functionality of the service.

We’re committed to transparency. All essential cookies are listed in our Cookie Policy, and you’ll always know what’s keeping the Arbmom Recipe kitchen humming. Happy cooking!

Analytics Cookies Overview

Welcome to Arbmom Recipe, where every click is a taste‑test for a better cooking experience. To keep our kitchen fresh and our recipes sizzling, we use analytics cookies that quietly observe how you navigate our site. Think of them as the sous‑chef that helps us perfect the menu without ever getting in your way.

Why we use analytics cookies:

  • Understand which recipes spark the most love and which need a little extra seasoning.
  • Identify navigation patterns so we can streamline the search for that perfect dinner idea.
  • Measure load times and site performance to ensure every page loads as quickly as a stovetop boil.

Services we rely on:

  • Google Analytics – the industry‑standard tool that aggregates anonymous usage data.
  • Optional third‑party heat‑maps (e.g., Hotjar) for visualizing click‑through patterns.

What data these cookies collect:

  • Pages you visit (e.g., “Easy Lemon Garlic Salmon”).
  • Time spent on each page – from a quick glance to a deep dive.
  • Interactions such as video plays, recipe saves, and comment submissions.
  • Device and browser details that help us ensure a smooth, mobile‑friendly experience.

All of this information is aggregated and anonymized, meaning we never see your name or email through these cookies. By analyzing the data, we can:

  • Highlight trending cuisines and develop new, on‑trend recipe collections.
  • Refine our search filters so you find gluten‑free, keto, or family‑friendly dishes faster.
  • Improve page layouts, making ingredient lists and step‑by‑step instructions clearer.
  • Reduce load times on popular pages, keeping you in the kitchen, not waiting.

Your control options:

  • Accept all cookies for the full Arbmom experience.
  • Reject non‑essential analytics cookies via the banner or your browser settings.
  • Manage preferences anytime through the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
  • Delete existing cookies manually through your browser’s privacy tools.

We take United States privacy regulations seriously. Our analytics practices comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and adhere to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines for transparent data collection. You have the right to request a copy of the data we hold, opt out of sale (which we do not engage in), and receive clear disclosures about our cookie usage.

Enjoy browsing, cooking, and sharing—while we quietly perfect the recipe for a better Arbmom experience.

Advertising Cookies Overview

Welcome to Arbmom Recipe! While you’re busy whisking, sautéing, and tasting, we want you to know how the advertising cookies on our site work to keep your browsing experience deliciously relevant.

Why we use advertising cookies

  • Show you ads that match your culinary interests (think kitchen gadgets, specialty ingredients, and cooking classes).
  • Help us understand which recipes and articles you love, so we can recommend more of what you crave.
  • Support the free content you enjoy by generating revenue for our recipe creators.

Services we partner with

  • Google AdSense – delivers contextual ads based on page content and user behavior.
  • Media.net – provides additional display ads that complement Google’s network.
  • Amazon Associates – shows product recommendations tied to the recipes you view.

How targeting works

  • When you visit a recipe, a cookie records the page URL, time spent, and any clicks on related links.
  • These data points are combined with your browser’s anonymous ID to build a “taste profile.”
  • Third‑party ad networks match that profile with advertisers’ campaigns, delivering ads that feel natural to your cooking journey.

Third‑party ad networks such as Google, Media.net, and Amazon process the cookie data on their own servers. They do not share personally identifiable information with us, and they follow strict privacy standards.

Your control & opt‑out options

  • Click the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of any page to toggle advertising cookies on or off.
  • Visit the Google Ads Settings page to adjust personalized ad preferences.
  • Use the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt‑out tool to block interest‑based ads across participating networks.
  • Clear your browser’s cookies anytime via your browser’s privacy settings.

United States advertising regulations

  • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires clear disclosure of data collection practices.
  • Our cookie notice complies with the FTC’s “Truth in Advertising” standards, ensuring you know what’s collected and why.
  • For users under 13, we adhere to COPPA guidelines by not serving targeted ads or storing personal data.

At Arbmom Recipe, we believe transparency is as essential as a well‑seasoned sauce. Enjoy the recipes, and rest assured that any ads you see are carefully curated, fully disclosed, and fully under your control.

1. Browser Settings – Desktop

  • Google Chrome: Click the three‑dot menu ► Settings ► Privacy and security ► Cookies and other site data. Choose “Block third‑party cookies” or “Clear cookies on exit.” To delete existing cookies, go to See all cookies and site data and hit Remove All.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Open the hamburger menu ► Options ► Privacy & Security. Under “Cookies and Site Data,” select “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” or click “Manage Data…” to remove specific entries.
  • Apple Safari: From the Safari menu, choose Preferences ► Privacy. Tick “Block all cookies” for maximum privacy, or click “Manage Website Data…” to delete cookies manually.
  • Microsoft Edge: Click the three‑dot menu ► Settings ► Cookies and site permissions. Turn on “Block third‑party cookies” or select “Clear browsing data” to erase stored cookies.

2. How Cookie Controls Affect Arbmom Recipe

  • Disabling all cookies may prevent us from remembering your favorite cuisines, saved recipes, or personalized recommendations.
  • Blocking third‑party cookies keeps advertisers at bay while still allowing essential site functions—like keeping you logged in to save a shopping list.
  • Clearing cookies regularly will reset your “recently viewed” carousel, but you’ll still have full access to every recipe.

3. Mobile Device Controls

  • iOS (Safari): Settings ► Safari ► Privacy & Security. Toggle “Block All Cookies” or “Prevent Cross‑Site Tracking.” To delete, tap “Advanced” ► “Website Data” ► “Remove All Website Data.”

5. Do Not Track (DNT) Settings

Most browsers offer a “Do Not Track” toggle. Enabling DNT sends a request to websites—including Arbmom Recipe—to refrain from tracking you. While we honor DNT where possible, some features (like personalized recipe suggestions) may be less accurate.

6. Managing Cookie Consent on Arbmom Recipe

Third‑Party Cookies Overview

Welcome to Arbmom Recipe – where every click brings you closer to delicious inspiration! Like any modern website, we rely on third‑party cookies to keep things tasty, fast, and personalized. Below is a quick, friendly guide to what they are, who uses them on our site, what they collect, and how you stay in control.

What are third‑party cookies? These are small data files placed on your browser by services other than Arbmom Recipe. They help us understand how you interact with our recipes, serve relevant ads, and let you share your favorite dishes on social media.

  • Google Analytics – tracks page views, click‑through rates, and user flow so we can improve navigation and content.
  • Google AdSense – shows ads that match your interests, helping us keep the site free.
  • Social media plugins (Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram) – enable easy sharing and may remember your login status.

What data do they collect? Typically, these services gather:

  • IP address (approximate location)
  • Browser type and device information
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referral source (how you arrived at Arbmom Recipe)
  • Interaction with ads or share buttons

Each provider follows its own privacy policy and offers tools to manage data collection. For example, Google’s Ad Settings lets you opt out of personalized ads, while social platforms provide account controls for cookie preferences.

Your control options We respect your kitchen privacy:

  • Adjust your browser settings to block or delete third‑party cookies.
  • Use the Your Online Choices portal for U.S. ad‑tracking preferences.
  • Visit Google’s opt‑out page to stop Analytics tracking.

U.S. regulations Unlike the EU’s GDPR, the United States does not have a single federal law governing third‑party cookies. Instead, we follow sector‑specific rules such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and state‑level initiatives like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These regulations require transparency, give you the right to opt out of data selling, and mandate that we provide a clear privacy notice.

We hope this recipe of information helps you enjoy Arbmom Recipe with confidence. Bon appétit, and happy browsing!

Each updated version will include an Effective Date at the top of the policy, clearly indicating when the new terms take effect. We encourage you to review the policy whenever you see a notification, as even small adjustments can impact how we collect, store, and use cookie data.

Staying informed helps you maintain control over your browsing experience and ensures compliance with United States legal requirements such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and FTC guidelines on online tracking. By keeping the policy current, we uphold your rights to opt‑out, request deletion, and understand the purpose behind each cookie.

For your reference, all previous versions of the Cookie Policy will remain accessible in our Historical Versions archive, linked at the bottom of each policy page. This archive lets you compare past and present terms, fostering trust and clarity.
