Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 6, 2026

Summary

Recepie only uses cookies and browser storage that are strictly necessary for the site to work: keeping you logged in, protecting forms against forgery, and remembering your preferences. We don't use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, so there is no cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies don't need consent under EU rules.

Cookies we set

Browser storage

On recipe pages, the ingredients and steps you tick off are saved in your browser's session storage so your progress survives a page reload. This stays on your device, is never sent to us, and is cleared when you close the tab.

Third-party requests

Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts, and Cook Mode loads a script from jsDelivr. These services receive your IP address when your browser fetches the files, but we have not asked them to set cookies. See the Privacy Policy for details. Share buttons are plain links and load nothing until you click them.

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the cookies above, you won't be able to log in or submit forms.

Changes

If we ever add non-essential cookies (for example analytics), we will update this page and ask for your consent before setting them.
