Cookie Policy

Last Revised: March 17, 2026

1. What are Cookies?

At Culinary Network, we use cookies to ensure our platform is as intuitive and personalized as a home-cooked meal. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us remember your preferences, keep your Recipe Box synced, and understand how you interact with our professional technique series.

2. How We Use Cookies

We categorize our cookies into four functional areas to help you understand their purpose:

Essential Necessary for core site functionality like secure logins and account management.

Performance Anonymously tracks which recipes are trending so we can optimize our server speed.

Functional Remembers your "Yield" settings or measurement preferences (Metric vs Imperial).

Marketing Used by partners like Google Ads to serve relevant culinary content and offers.

3. Third-Party Advertising Cookies

To keep our high-quality recipes and shows free for the community, we partner with third-party advertisers. These partners (specifically Google Ads and DoubleClick) may place cookies on your browser to understand your interests and show you relevant culinary tools or ingredient offers.

These third parties have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them to understand how they handle your data across the broader web.

4. Controlling Your Preferences

You have full control over your data. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences through their settings. Please note that disabling "Essential" cookies may result in a degraded experience (e.g., you may need to log in every time you visit).

To opt-out of Google's use of cookies, visit the Google Ads Preferences.
To clear your current session cookies, use your browser's "Clear Browsing Data" utility.

5. Updates to this Policy

As culinary technology and privacy regulations evolve, we may update this policy. When we make significant changes, we will notify you via a banner on our homepage or an update to the "Last Revised" date at the top of this page.
