Our website address is: https://sammymakesmeals.com.
This site is created and maintained by Sammy to share cozy, real-life recipes with a growing community of food lovers.

When you leave a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.

If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string (hash) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile picture. You can find Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile image (if applicable) will be displayed publicly next to it.

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the files. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Here’s how:

  • If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • If you log in, several cookies are used to save your login and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep you logged in for two weeks.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, Instagram posts, etc.). Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the external website directly. These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction, especially if you have an account and are logged in to their platform.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email. Comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.

  • Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and approve future comments automatically.
  • If you register on our site (if enabled), we store your profile information. You can view, edit, or delete your data at any time (except your username). Site administrators can also access and edit this information.

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or request that we erase it. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
