What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They store information about your browsing activity and help the website provide a more personalized and efficient experience. Cookies can be essential for the functioning of the site, or they can collect data for analytics, advertising, or social media integration.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential (Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are critical for the basic operation of Mumcookjoy. They enable you to navigate the website, access secure areas, and use core features such as the recipe search, saving favorites, and commenting. Without these cookies, the site would not function correctly. They do not collect personal data beyond the immediate session.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

This information helps us improve content quality and user experience. No personally identifying information is shared with Google.

3. Social Media Cookies

Our site embeds social media widgets from Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. These widgets allow you to share recipes, like posts, and follow our accounts directly from the page. Each platform may set its own cookies for authentication and tracking. These cookies are set by the social media providers, not by Mumcookjoy.
