This privacy policy for Your Daily Dinner (“We”, “Us” or “Our”) explains how we collect, use and share your information when you visit our website https://yourdailydinner.com.
We appreciate your trust in us and aim to explain our privacy practices as clearly as possible. Please read this policy carefully. Where we rely on your consent (for example, for analytics and advertising cookies), we will ask for it separately through our cookie banner.
What information do we collect about you?
We collect the following personal information:
- Name (as entered in our contact form)
- Email address
- Location data (approximate, derived from your IP address)
- Online identifiers (cookie IDs, device identifiers, IP address)
- Browsing and usage data on our website (pages viewed, time on site, interactions with advertisements)
How do we collect such information?
We collect information in three ways:
a. Information you give us
When you contact us through our contact form or by email, we receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we receive your email address.
b. Information we collect automatically
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect information from your device, such as through the use of cookies. See the Cookies section below.
c. Information from third parties
Our analytics and advertising partners may provide us with aggregated information about how visitors use our website.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files placed on your device that allow a website to remember information about your visit.
We use cookies for essential website functions, analytics (Google Analytics), and, with your consent, advertising. You can accept, reject, or customize cookies through our cookie banner, and change your choice at any time using the cookie settings icon on our website.
Do Not Track requests
We do not currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals, as there is no uniform industry standard for interpreting them. You can manage your cookie and tracking preferences at any time through the cookie consent banner on our website.
Embedded content from other websites
Our pages may include embedded content from other websites, such as Pinterest buttons or videos. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you are logged in to an account with them.
Advertising
We use third-party advertising vendors, including Google, to display ads on our website. These vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com). You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
Why do we collect information about you?
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain our website
- To respond to messages and inquiries
- To send marketing and promotional communications, such as our newsletter, to those who subscribe
- To display advertising on our website, including personalized advertising where you have given consent, through our advertising partners
- To track referrals made through affiliate links, so we can earn commissions on qualifying purchases
- To evaluate and improve our content and services
- To examine usage trends
- To comply with legal obligations
- To manage matters related to business transfers, such as when our business is acquired, merged, restructured, or otherwise sold or transferred to another entity, in whole or in part
Service providers
We use trusted service providers to operate our website, including Hostinger (website hosting), Google Analytics (website analytics), CookieYes (cookie consent management), Beehiiv (newsletter delivery), Zoho (email), and Pinterest (save and share buttons). These providers process data only on our behalf and under appropriate data protection terms.
How long do we retain your information?
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe. Messages sent through our contact form or by email are kept for up to 24 months, unless a longer period is required to resolve an ongoing matter. Analytics data is retained for up to 14 months. Where we are required by law to keep certain records (for example, for tax purposes), we retain them for the period the law requires.
When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it. If this is not possible (for example, because it is stored in backup archives), we will securely store it and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

We may share your information with third parties in the following ways:
- With your consent: we may share your information with third parties for the purposes described when you give consent.
