Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First-party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioural advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimise advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The "help" feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt out, you will still see non-personalised advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalised ads:

IP Address
Operating System type
Operating System version
Device Type
Language of the website
Web browser type
Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements.

Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

DISCLAIMERS

NUTRITIONAL AND ALLERGY INFORMATION

This website doesn’t claim to have formal training in dietetics or nutrition. Any nutritional information or suggestions for specific dietary needs mentioned in a post are intended as general guidance only.

ALLERGY INFORMATION

Each recipe might include basic details on whether it’s suitable for certain free-from diets, plus tips on how to tweak it to avoid allergens. This is just a guide and shouldn’t be relied on entirely. Not every allergen is listed, and leaving one out doesn’t mean it’s not in the recipe. Ingredients can vary by shop, region, and country, so it’s always a good idea to check each one yourself.

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

The nutritional details in any recipe card are just a general guide. Values can change based on products, brands, or even where you live. Small differences in preparation can also affect the numbers, so they’re not exact. For this reason, you won't find many of my recipe cards showing such information. Please remember, nothing on this site should be taken as medical advice—always check with your doctor before making changes to your lifestyle or diet.

FOOD & PERSONAL SAFETY

This website isn’t responsible for any food or physical safety issues that may arise from following the advice provided. This includes, but isn’t limited to, illness, disease, or death from making or eating any recipes, injuries that occur while planning, preparing, or eating the recipes, and any problems that happen at events where those recipes are used. It’s also not liable for any damage to property or belongings caused by following the advice.

CONTACT INFORMATION

At any time, please contact us at jan@aglugofoil.com for questions related to this Privacy Policy.
