Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to evadishes (the “Site”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information you provide when you visit https://evadishes.com or interact with any of our services, including newsletters, comments, and social media integrations.

By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

For any privacy‑related questions or concerns, you may contact us at contact@evadishes.com.

2. Data Collection

We collect two categories of information:

• 2.1. Personal Information – Information that can identify you directly, such as your name, email address, and any other details you voluntarily provide when you:
  • Subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Submit a comment on a recipe.
  • Contact us via the contact form.
  • Participate in contests or surveys.
• 2.2. Non‑Personal Information – Technical data automatically collected when you visit the Site, including:
  • IP address.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Pages viewed, time spent on each page, and navigation path.
  • Referral URLs (e.g., from a search engine or social platform).

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

3. Cookies & Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device to help us improve your experience. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until they expire or are deleted).

Types of cookies we use:

• Essential Cookies – Required for basic site functionality, such as remembering your language preference.
• Analytics Cookies – Used to gather aggregate data about how visitors interact with the Site (see Section 4).
• Advertising Cookies – Placed by third‑party ad networks, including Ezoic, to deliver personalized ads (see Section 7).
• Social Media Cookies – Set by Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook when you click a share button or interact with embedded content.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie consent banner that appears when you first visit the Site. Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings.

4. Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use evadishes. Google Analytics collects information such as:

• IP address (anonymized after collection).
• Device and browser details.
• Pages visited, time on page, and referral sources.

This data is aggregated and used solely for statistical analysis, helping us improve content, navigation, and overall user experience. Google’s privacy policy governs the handling of this information. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt‑Out Browser Add‑on.

5. Email Subscriptions

When you voluntarily sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address and, optionally, your name. This information is stored securely and used only to:

• Send you periodic updates about new recipes, cooking tips, and promotional offers.
• Respond to any inquiries you submit via email.

You may unsubscribe at any time using the “Unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of each email. Unsubscribing removes your email address from our mailing list within 10 business days.

6. Third‑Party Services

Our Site integrates with several social platforms to enhance sharing and community interaction. These services may set their own cookies and collect data according to their respective privacy policies.

6.1. Pinterest

Pinterest widgets (e.g., “Pin It” buttons) allow you to save images to your Pinterest boards. Pinterest may collect your IP address, device information, and browsing activity on the Site. Review Pinterest’s privacy policy here.

6.2. Instagram

Embedded Instagram posts and “Follow” buttons may transmit your IP address and device details to Instagram (owned by Meta Platforms, Inc.). See Instagram’s privacy policy here.

6.3. Facebook

Facebook “Like” and “Share” buttons, as well as any embedded videos, may collect similar data to personalize ads and improve services. Facebook’s privacy policy is available here.

We do not share your personal data with these platforms unless you actively engage with a widget (e.g., clicking a “Share” button). In such cases, the third‑party service will receive the information you provide directly to it.

7. Advertising & Ezoic

We partner with Ezoic to display and optimize advertisements on evadishes. Ezoic uses machine‑learning technology to serve ads that are more relevant to each visitor.

• Browser information (user‑agent, language settings).
• Pages viewed on evadishes, time spent on each page, and navigation patterns.

This data is used to:

• Personalize the advertisements you see.
• Improve overall ad performance and user experience.
• Generate revenue that helps us keep the Site free and maintain high‑quality content.

Ezoic’s full privacy practices are described in their privacy policy: https://www.ezoic.com/privacy-policy/. You may manage your ad‑related preferences through the cookie consent banner that appears on the Site.

9. Security of Your Information

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While no method is 100 % secure, we regularly review our security practices and employ encryption where appropriate (e.g., TLS for data transmitted between your browser and our servers).
