Effective Date: January 12, 2026
Your privacy matters. At gotcharecipes (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we’re committed to being transparent about what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it. This Privacy Policy explains how data is handled when you visit https://gotcharecipes.com/ (the “Site”).

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
gotcharecipes uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work properly and improve your experience. Cookies may be used to:
- Remember your preferences
- Understand how visitors use the Site (analytics)
- Help deliver relevant ads (if we use an ad network)
- Track affiliate referrals (so we may earn a small commission)
You can control cookies through your browser settings. If required by law (such as in the EU/UK), you may also see a cookie banner that lets you manage preferences.
Third-Party Services
We may use trusted third-party services to run and improve the Site. These services may collect data through cookies or similar tools. Examples may include:
- Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Email newsletter providers (for subscriptions)
- Advertising networks (to show ads)
- Affiliate programs (to track referrals when you click a product link)
These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Affiliate Links and Advertising Disclosure
Some posts may include affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click and make a purchase—at no extra cost to you. We may also display ads through third-party ad networks. These partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information using appropriate administrative and technical safeguards. However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Our Site may link to external websites (tools, products, other blogs, etc.). We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their policies before sharing personal information.
