Privacy Policy

Effective date: [12 July 2026]

This Privacy Policy explains what information The Sizzling Dishes (thesizzlingdishes.com) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. The site is run by a single person — Maha. If you have any questions, email thesizzlingdishes@gmail.com.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you email us or leave a comment, we receive the details you choose to share — such as your name, email address, and message. We only use this to respond to you and to run the comment section.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. This is used to understand traffic, keep the site secure, and improve the content.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites work and remember your preferences. We use cookies to keep the site functioning, understand how it is used, and — where advertising is shown — to help display relevant ads. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, though some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

Advertising

This site may display advertising served by third-party ad networks, including Google.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Any ad network we work with operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any advertiser or ad network for details on their data practices.

Analytics

We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which recipes are popular and how people find us. These services collect information such as pages visited and general location, and use it to produce aggregate reports. This helps us improve the site.

How we use information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content.
  • To respond to your emails, comments, and requests.
  • To understand traffic and how the site is used.
  • To display advertising, where applicable.
  • To keep the site secure and prevent abuse.

We do not sell your personal information.

Third-party links

This site contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. Once you leave The Sizzling Dishes, this policy no longer applies, so please review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data — such as the right to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, or to object to certain uses. Residents of the European Economic Area (under GDPR) and California (under the CCPA) have specific rights. To make a request, email thesizzlingdishes@gmail.com and we will respond as required by law.

You can also control cookies through your browser and opt out of personalised ads using the links in the Advertising section above.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, email us and we will delete it.

Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
