Privacy Policy

Last updated November 10, 2026.

Pot & Pressure is a recipe site. This page explains what information is collected when you read it, who else is involved, and the choices you have. It is written in plain words on purpose.

Information collected

The site has no accounts and no comments. You do not sign up for anything here.

When you visit, Google Analytics records standard visit information: the pages you read, how long you stayed, the type of device and browser you used, and a rough location based on your internet address. This is used to see which recipes and guides people actually read, so the site can make more of what helps and less of what does not.

If you email the site, your email address and whatever you write are received like any other email.

Saved recipes are stored in your own browser, on your own device. They are not sent to the site and they are not tied to your name. Clearing your browser data for this site removes them all.

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics, a service from Google that measures traffic. Google Analytics sets cookies named _ga and _gid so it can tell visits apart and build the reports the site reads.

The reports are about groups of readers, not about you as a person. Analytics data is held by Google under its own policies.

You can stop Google Analytics from measuring your visits by installing the Google Analytics opt out browser add on, free from Google at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also block cookies in your browser settings, as described below.

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site carries advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and other advertising vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and to other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising in your Google ad settings at google.com/settings/ads, or through the industry opt out page at aboutads.info. Opting out does not remove ads. It means the ads you see are not picked using those visit based cookies.

Ads on this site are placed and selected by Google. Seeing an ad here is not an endorsement of that product by Pot & Pressure.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file a site leaves in your browser. This site and the services above use cookies for three jobs:

• Analytics cookies from Google Analytics, described above.
• Advertising cookies from Google AdSense and its vendors, described above.
• Hosting and security cookies that Cloudflare, the hosting provider, may set to keep the site fast and safe.

Your browser lets you block or delete cookies at any time. The recipes and guides still work with cookies blocked. Saved recipes need browser storage turned on, because that is where they live.

Service providers

Three services help run this site: Cloudflare for hosting, Google Analytics for traffic measurement, and Google AdSense for advertising. Each one handles information under its own privacy policy. No information is sold by Pot & Pressure to anyone.

How long information is kept

Analytics data is kept by Google under its retention settings. Emails are kept only as long as they are useful for answering you and keeping track of corrections to recipes. Saved recipes stay in your browser until you remove them.

Children

This site is written for adults cooking at home. It is not aimed at children and it does not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this page

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the change will be posted on this page and the date at the top will be updated.
