We use Ezoic to provide personalization, ads, and analytics on this website. As such, Ezoic’s privacy policy also applies and can be reviewed on Ezoic’s site.

This Privacy Policy explains how EasyCookingIdea.com (“EasyCookingIdea,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website, subscribe to emails, comment, or interact with our content (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to this Policy.

a) Information you provide

  • Contact details (e.g., name, email) when you subscribe, comment, or contact us.
  • Optional profile/account info if accounts are offered.

b) Information collected automatically

  • Usage data: IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, time on page, referrer/UTM, approximate location.
  • Cookies & similar tech: pixels, tags, web beacons for preferences, analytics, and ad personalization (see §6).

c) From third parties

  • Analytics/advertising partners (including Ezoic) and social platforms may provide aggregated or inferred data.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive health or financial data.

3) How we use your information

    We don’t sell personal data as commonly defined; ad personalization may be considered “sharing” in certain regions—you can adjust preferences (see §6).

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it, unless a longer period is required by law.
