Privacy Policy

1. Overview

CookingTemps.com ("we," "our," or "the site") is a free cooking temperature reference tool. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information:

• Usage data — anonymous analytics (page views, visit duration, browser type) via third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics or similar services.
• Local storage — your theme preference (light/dark) and temperature unit preference (°F/°C) are stored locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.
• Email (optional) — if you sign up for newsletter updates via our footer form, we collect your email address.

We do not collect names, passwords, payment information, or any other personally identifying information through normal use of the site.

3. Cookies

We may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics purposes. These cookies are anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Some site features (such as remembering your theme preference) rely on browser local storage, not traditional cookies.

4. Affiliate Links

CookingTemps.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are clearly disclosed within the Recommended Gear section.

Amazon and its partners may set cookies when you click through to their site. Their privacy practices are governed by Amazon's own Privacy Notice, available at amazon.com/privacy.

5. Third-Party Services

The site may use third-party services including Google Fonts, analytics providers, and email newsletter platforms. These services have their own privacy policies and may collect data as described in their respective policies. We do not sell your data to any third party.

6. Children's Privacy

CookingTemps.com is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) including the right to access, correct, or delete data we hold about you. To exercise any such rights, please contact us at the address below.
