Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 24, 2026

At The Neural Chef, we take the privacy of our visitors seriously. This Privacy Policy documents the types of personal information that is received and collected by our website and how it is used.

1. Google Analytics 4 (GA4) & Log Files

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, to monitor, understand, and optimize visitor engagement across our recipes.

GA4 collects pseudo-anonymized data, including:

Pages and recipes viewed, time spent on pages, and scroll depth.
Approximate geographic location (country/city level; IP addresses are automatically anonymized and discarded by Google without storage).
Technical parameters such as device model, browser type, operating system, and screen resolution.

Google Analytics stores first-party cookies (e.g., _ga and _ga_*) on your browser to differentiate user sessions. This data is retained for 14 months and is used exclusively for statistical reporting. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

2. Cookies and Web Beacons

We use cookies to store information about visitors' preferences, to record user-specific information on which pages the user accesses or visits, and to personalize or customize our web page content based on visitors' browser type or other information that the visitor sends via their browser.

3. Third-Party Advertising & Future Ad Networks

We may partner with third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information (such as your IP address, browser type, or browsing activity) to serve relevant advertisements based on your prior visits to this website and other sites across the Internet.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our website or other sites.
Users can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or via aboutads.info.

4. Amazon Affiliate Program Links

We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Clicking on our affiliate storefront links allows Amazon to drop tracking cookies on your device to associate any subsequent purchases with our referrer account. These cookies are governed by Amazon's respective privacy policy.

5. Consent & Data Management

We only deploy non-essential cookies (such as personalized advertising or tracking cookies) if you actively consent to them via our Cookie Banner. You have the right to withdraw or modify your consent at any time by clearing your browser's cookies or local storage.
