This Cookie Policy explains how yumyumplate.com (“the Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, and the choices available to you.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners and advertisers.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Necessary for the Site to function properly (e.g., remembering cookie consent preferences, enabling comment forms). These cannot be disabled without affecting basic site functionality.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site — pages visited, time on page, and traffic sources — so we can improve content and user experience. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you.
Advertising Cookies
We display ads through Google AdSense and/or Mediavine / Ezoic. These networks and their partners use cookies to:
- Serve ads based on your browsing history and interests.
- Measure ad performance.
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad.
These third parties may combine cookie data with information collected from other sites you’ve visited.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click an affiliate link (e.g., to Amazon.com through our Amazon Associates links), a cookie is placed to track that the referral came from our Site, so we can earn a commission if you make a purchase. This cookie is set and controlled by the retailer, not by us directly.
Social Media Cookies
If the Site includes social sharing buttons (Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), those platforms may set their own cookies to enable sharing functionality and track engagement.
3. How Long Do Cookies Last?
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (ranging from a few days to a couple of years) or until you delete them manually.
4. Your Cookie Choices
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- Block all cookies.
- Block only third-party cookies.
- Delete cookies when you close your browser.
- Receive a notification before a cookie is placed.
Note: Blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the Site function.
If you are located in the EU/UK or California, you may also see a cookie consent banner on the Site allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
5. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry-standard response to DNT signals, so our Site may not respond differently based on DNT settings.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our advertising partners. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
