Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 3, 2026

This privacy policy explains what information kitchenbylola.com (the "site", "we", "us") collects when you visit it, how that information is used, and the choices you have. Contact details for the site operator are listed on our contact page and in our legal notice.

Information we collect

• Newsletter and membership. If you subscribe, we store your email address and, if you provide it, your name, in order to send you new recipes. Every email contains an unsubscribe link.
• Messages you send us. If you contact us by email, we keep your message and email address in order to reply.
• Technical data. Like most websites, the servers and services that deliver this site process basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device and the pages you visit. This is used for security, performance and to prevent abuse.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This site uses:

• Strictly necessary cookies, for example to keep you signed in if you create a membership account, and security cookies set by our content delivery provider.
• Advertising cookies, set by Google and its partners when ads are displayed (see below). These are only used after you have given consent where the law requires it.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertising, which helps keep the recipes free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized advertising cookies are used, through a consent message. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the privacy settings link displayed on the site.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Service providers

We rely on trusted providers to run this site, including our web host (OVHcloud), our content delivery and security network (Cloudflare), our publishing platform (Ghost) and Google for advertising. These providers process data on our behalf or as independent controllers under their own privacy policies. Some of them may transfer data outside your country, in which case appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses apply.

How we use your information

• To operate, secure and improve the site.
• To send the newsletter you subscribed to.
• To answer your messages.
• To display advertising, personalized only with your consent where required.

We do not sell your personal data.

Legal bases

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of your consent (newsletter, advertising cookies), our legitimate interests (security and improvement of the site, replying to messages) and legal obligations where applicable.

Data retention

Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Messages are kept as long as needed to handle your request. Technical logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on our contact page. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in France, the CNIL).

Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience and does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
