Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form (name, email, optional website), plus your IP address and browser user agent string to detect spam. An anonymized hash of your email address may be shared with Gravatar to check for an associated profile—Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if using Gravatar) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site (e.g., photos of our kitchen tools in use), avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from uploaded images.

Cookies

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies expire after 1 year, so you won’t need to re-enter details for future comments.
  • Temporary Login Check Cookie: Visiting our login page triggers a temporary cookie to test if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
  • Login & Display Cookies: Logging in sets cookies to save your login details (valid for 2 days) and screen preferences (valid for 1 year). Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to 2 weeks; logging out removes these cookies.
  • Editing Cookie: If you edit or publish content (e.g., blog posts about kitchen tips), a 1-day cookie is saved to track the post ID—this cookie includes no personal data.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our site may include embedded content (e.g., product demo videos from YouTube, recipe articles from food blogs). This content acts as if you visited the third-party website directly: those sites may collect your data, use cookies, or track your interactions—especially if you’re logged into their services.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification. We do not sell your personal data to third parties; we only share data with trusted service providers (e.g., payment processors) to fulfill orders or manage the site.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to automatically approve follow-up comments (no need for manual moderation).
  • User Accounts: For registered users, personal data in your profile is retained while your account is active. You can edit or delete your data at any time (except your username); our administrators may also access or edit this information to support your account.
  • Order Data: Customer order details (e.g., purchase history, shipping info) are retained for 7 years to comply with legal and tax requirements.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you may:
  1. Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you (e.g., your comment history, account details).
  2. Ask us to erase your personal data—this excludes data we’re legally required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments are screened through an automated spam detection service to protect the site from malicious content and keep our community focused on kitchen product tips and feedback.
