At Cake Formula (accessible from https://cakeformula.com), we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that 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. For a baking site like ours, they help us remember if you preferred metric measurements or if you’ve already signed up for our newsletter.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience in the following ways:
- Authentication: If you are logged in to Cake Formula, cookies help us show you the right information and personalize your experience.
- Preferences: They allow us to remember your settings, such as your preferred language or font size for reading recipes.
- Analytics: We use cookies to understand how our visitors use the site (e.g., which cake recipes are the most popular), which helps us improve our content.
- Advertising: We may use cookies to show you relevant advertisements for baking supplies or ingredients that might interest you.
3. The Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences or logging in.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization (for example, saving a “favorite” recipe list). They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Targeting/Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites.
4. Third-Party Cookies
In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties.
- This site uses Google Analytics, which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web for helping us to understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience.
- From time to time, we test new features and make subtle changes to the way that the site is delivered. When we are still testing new features, these cookies may be used to ensure that you receive a consistent experience.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
