What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. When you browse MumRecipeGuide, we may place or retrieve cookies on your device to collect data about your browsing activities, preferences, and interactions with the site.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize our cookies into four main types to help you understand their purpose. Each category is explained below.

Essential (Necessary) Cookies

• Session Cookies – Keep you logged in while you navigate the site and remember items added to your shopping cart (if you use the recipe shop). They expire when you close your browser.
• Security Cookies – Protect your account from unauthorized access and verify that the user is who they claim to be. These are required for secure login and password reset processes.
• Preference Cookies – Store your language, region, or theme preferences so that the site can load in your chosen settings on subsequent visits.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with our site. This data helps us understand which recipes are most popular, how users navigate between pages, and where we can improve the user experience. The cookies used by Google Analytics do not identify you personally; they only provide aggregated statistics such as page views, time on page, and referral sources.

Social Media Cookies

To enable social sharing and embed content from social platforms, we use cookies from the following services:

• Pinterest – Stores information about pins you view or share and helps us understand which recipes inspire you.
• Instagram – Tracks the Instagram feed embedded on our pages, enabling you to see recipe reels or stories directly on MumRecipeGuide.
• Facebook – Keeps track of your interaction with our Facebook “Like” and “Share” buttons, allowing us to gauge social engagement.

Preferences Cookies

These cookies remember your personal preferences, such as your chosen language, unit of measurement (metric or imperial), or whether you prefer a dark or light theme. They enhance your experience by ensuring the site feels familiar every time you visit.
