Effective date: December 01, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how mumrecipebox (https://mumrecipebox.com) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. By continuing to browse or use the site, you consent to the placement and use of cookies as described below.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) by a website’s server. They enable the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and analytics data. Cookies can be either “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).

Types of cookies we use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Without them, core functions such as navigation, page rendering, and access to secure areas (e.g., your account dashboard) would not work. They do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.

• _session_id – Stores a temporary identifier that keeps you logged in while you browse the site.
• csrf_token – Protects against cross‑site request forgery attacks.
• cookie_consent – Remembers that you have accepted or declined our cookie policy.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with mumrecipebox, which pages are most popular, and where improvements are needed. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous; it does not identify individual users.

• _ga – Distinguishes users by assigning a unique ID.
• _gid – Tracks user activity across pages.
• _gat – Used to throttle request rates.

Social Media Cookies

Our site includes social sharing buttons that allow you to like, pin, or share recipes on platforms such as Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. These cookies are set by the respective social networks to enable the functionality of the buttons and to collect analytics about how content is shared.

• _pinterest_sess – Enables Pinterest’s “Pin It” button and tracks interactions.
• fbm_ – Allows Facebook to deliver its social plugins and measure usage.
• insta_ – Supports Instagram embed features and sharing metrics.

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as language, font size, or preferred recipe categories, to provide a more personalized experience on subsequent visits.

• site_language – Stores the language you selected.
• theme_preference – Remembers whether you prefer a light or dark theme.
• recipe_filter – Saves your last used filter settings (e.g., vegetarian, quick meals).

• Maintain a secure and functional browsing experience.
