Privacy notice

This notice explains what happens to information about you when you use durulezzetler.com. The short version: we keep very little, we keep it on our own server, and we do not sell or share it.

Reading the site

You do not need an account to read anything here. The site sets no cookies of its own for readers and uses no third-party analytics, advertising trackers or social media widgets.

When you leave a page, or switch to another tab, your browser sends us one short reading note: a random number that exists only while that page is open, how many seconds the page was on screen, how far down you scrolled, the page address, the kind of site that sent you (a search engine, another website or none) and your country as reported by Cloudflare. We use these notes to see which recipes people actually read to the end. We do not store your IP address, your browser details or anything that identifies you, and the random number is deleted after two days. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, no reading note is sent at all.

Like every website, our server and Cloudflare, which protects and delivers the site, process technical data such as your IP address to deliver pages and stop abuse. Server logs are kept for a short time and are not used to profile readers.

Letters through the contact form

When you write to us we keep your name, email address, the topic you chose and your letter, so that a cook can reply. A copy is delivered to our editorial mailbox. We use your address only to answer you, and we delete letters we no longer need. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that a person is sending it; Cloudflare's own privacy policy applies to that check.

Partner links

A few pages carry a clearly marked partner box (for example a cookbook shop through the CJ affiliate network, or a cooking membership through MaxBounty). We count clicks on those boxes per day, per box and per country, without anything that identifies you. If you follow such a link, the partner and its network may set their own cookies to credit the visit; their privacy policies apply from that point, including those of CJ and MaxBounty.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it or delete it, by writing to mutfak@durulezzetler.com. If you are in the UK or the EU you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

We may update this notice when the site changes. The date at the bottom shows the last change.
