Privacy

One thing, and it never leaves your device: when you tap the bookmark on a recipe, that recipe's ID is written to your browser's local storage. It is not sent to us, it is not readable by us, and it does not follow you to another device or browser. Clearing this site's data in your browser settings removes it.

We have no accounts, no login, no newsletter, no comment system and no forms that submit anywhere. There is nothing for you to give us and nothing of yours for us to keep.

Hóng Kitchen sets no cookies of its own. The site is delivered through Cloudflare and measured with Google Analytics, and those services set the following:

• __cf_bm — Cloudflare's bot-management cookie. It distinguishes automated traffic from people, and it expires roughly 30 minutes after your last request. It is not used for advertising.
• __dpl — a deployment cookie set by our hosting platform so that a single browsing session is served a consistent build of the site.
• _ga and _ga_* — Google Analytics measurement cookies, set by Google's script on this domain so that repeat visits can be counted. They last up to two years.

None of these is an advertising cookie, and none is used to build a profile of you. The two Cloudflare cookies are set by the infrastructure that delivers the site, so they cannot be switched off from within the site; the Google Analytics cookies can be blocked with your browser's cookie settings or Google's opt-out add-on (see below).

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic in aggregate: which pages are viewed, roughly where visitors are (country or city level), and what kind of device and browser they use. Google sets the _ga cookies described above to do this and processes the data under its own privacy policy. You can stop it on every site with Google's opt-out browser add-on. We do not use it for advertising, and we run no advertising pixel, no social tracker and no cross-site identity or fingerprinting service.

If a page fails to render, the technical error and the path you were on are reported to Lovable, the platform the site is built and hosted on, so the fault can be diagnosed. That report contains the error and the route, not anything you typed.

Our hosting and CDN providers keep ordinary server request logs, which carry the information any web request carries — the page URL, the referring page, your browser's user-agent string and your IP address. We do not sell or share this data.

Fonts, images, styles and application code are served from this domain. The one exception is Google Analytics: its script loads from www.googletagmanager.com and sends measurement requests to Google. There is no font CDN, no embedded video and no social widget, and our Content-Security-Policy allows no other third-party origin.

We publish no advertising and no affiliate links today. If that changes, the commercial module will carry a visible disclosure and this page will be updated before it goes live.

Your saved recipes persist in your browser until you clear them. Cloudflare's __cf_bm expires within about 30 minutes. Server request logs and error reports are retained by our hosting and CDN providers under their own retention schedules, and Google Analytics data is kept under the retention setting of our Analytics property. We do not maintain a separate copy or a database of visitors.

To remove your saved recipes, clear this site's data in your browser settings. To opt out of Google Analytics, block cookies for this site or install Google's opt-out add-on; nothing on the site is gated behind tracking of any kind.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information relates to you, to request its deletion, or to object to its processing. Because we operate no account system and hold no directly identifying records, there is usually nothing for us to return — but write to kevynsgrin@gmail.com and we will tell you honestly what exists and help you reach our providers where the data sits with them.

This is a cooking site intended for a general audience. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

If this policy changes materially, the change ships with the change it describes rather than after it. Questions about this policy, or anything you think it gets wrong, go to kevynsgrin@gmail.com.
