Privacy Policy

Welcome to Botbia Kitchen

Botbia Kitchen (botbia.com) is an independent recipe and food editorial website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit, why we collect it, and the choices available to you. By browsing this Site, you agree to the practices described below.

What We Collect When You Visit

Like most websites, our server and the tools we use automatically log certain technical details whenever a page loads, including your approximate location based on IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, how long you stay, and the site that referred you here. If you contact us by email, we also keep the message and address you send it from so that we can reply.

We do not ask visitors to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as financial details, government identification, or health records through this Site.

Cookies and How We Use Them

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help a site remember preferences or measure traffic. Botbia Kitchen uses cookies for basic site functionality, to understand which recipes are popular, and to support the advertising described below. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies at any time; doing so may affect how some pages display, but the recipes themselves will still be readable.

Advertising Through Google AdSense

This Site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other sites across the web. You can learn more about how Google uses this data, and adjust your ad settings, at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Google's own data practices are further described in the Google Privacy Policy, and you may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting google.com/settings/ads.

Analytics and Site Performance

We use analytics tools to understand overall traffic patterns, such as which pages are read most and how visitors typically move through the Site. This information is reviewed in aggregate to help us improve the recipes and layout, and is not used to identify any individual visitor personally.

How Your Information Helps Us

We use the information described above to operate and maintain the Site, keep it secure, understand what content is useful, respond to messages, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell personal information to third parties, and we do not use this Site to process any purchase, payment, or order of any kind, because Botbia Kitchen does not sell any product.

Links to Other Websites

Our pages may link out to other websites, including sources we cite or advertisements. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we do not control, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site before sharing information with it.

How Long We Keep Information

Technical logs and analytics data are generally retained only as long as needed to analyze trends and secure the Site, after which they are deleted or aggregated in a way that no longer identifies an individual visitor. Messages you send us are kept as long as reasonably necessary to address your inquiry.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, request a copy of it, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to certain uses. To make such a request, write to us using the contact details at the bottom of this page and we will respond within a reasonable time.

A Note About Children

Botbia Kitchen is a general audience recipe site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Visitors Outside the United States

This Site is hosted and operated with an international audience in mind. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence.

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The date at the top of this page will always show the most recent revision, and continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
