What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and how you interact with the pages. Cookies can be first‑party (set by Savory Mom Recipes) or third‑party (set by external services that we use).

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as navigation, secure login, and the ability to add recipes to your personal collection. Without these cookies, the site would not work as intended.

• _session_id – Stores a temporary session identifier that keeps you logged in while you browse.
• csrf_token – Protects against cross‑site request forgery attacks.
• cookie_consent – Remembers your consent choice for this Cookie Policy.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content, which recipes are most popular, and how we can improve the user experience. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify individual users.

• _ga – Distinguishes users and tracks sessions.
• _gid – Stores session data for a 24‑hour period.
• _gat – Throttles request rates to Google Analytics.

3. Social Media Cookies

Our website includes social sharing buttons that let you share recipes directly to Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. These buttons load scripts from the respective platforms, which set cookies to track your interaction with the buttons and, if you are logged into those platforms, may associate the activity with your social media account.

• Pinterest – _pinterest_sess for session tracking.
• Facebook – _fbp for advertising and analytics.
• Instagram – Uses the same Facebook pixel cookies as Instagram.

4. Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your personal settings and preferences, such as the language you prefer, the layout you choose for recipe listings, and whether you have opted into receiving newsletters.

• lang_pref – Stores your chosen language.
• theme_mode – Remembers light or dark mode selection.
• newsletter_optin – Records your consent to receive email updates.

How Long Do Cookies Remain Active?

Cookie lifespans vary:

• Session cookies (e.g., _session_id) expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies (e.g., _ga, lang_pref) can remain on your device from a few days up to two years, depending on their purpose.
