D. Who Has Access To The Data I Collect?
I’m a lover of food and interesting recipes, not website development and maintenance. Given this, I use third parties to provide me with a variety of services so I can focus on developing new recipes. The categories of these service providers include:
- Hosting company
- Email processors
- Analytics companies
- Web designer
- Cookies compliance vendor
- Consent acquisition software vendors
These third parties must comply with the European regulations as well and are prohibited from utilizing, sharing or retaining your personal data for any purpose other than providing the services I have contracted for unless an alternative use is first approved.
E. Cookies and Similar Technologies This site uses cookies and similar technologies to track you and other people who visit. This tracking is done to provide me with information on how people move about the site, what is of interest to them and what is not, how our marketing is performing, and incidental items such as what percentage of users access the site from a personal computer versus a mobile phone. You may block most cookies by adjusting your browser settings as well as responding to the cookie consent notice that appears when you first visit this site.

When you use our website, we share information that we may collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address or information about your browser or operating system, with our partner/service provider, LiveRamp Inc and its group companies (‘LiveRamp’). LiveRamp may use our first party cookie on your browser to match your shared information to their marketing databases in order to provide back a pseudonymous privacy-centric identifier for our use in real time bidding in digital advertising. We may also share hashed and de-identified email addresses, IP address, and advertising identifiers with LiveRamp, which uses that information to create a link between your device and its databases. This link may be shared by our partners globally for the purpose of enabling interest-based content or advertising throughout your online experience (e.g. cross device, web, email and in app etc.) by third parties unaffiliated with our website. These third parties may in turn link further demographic or interest-based information to your browser. To opt out of this use, please head here (https://liveramp.com/opt_out/).
