How We Use Cookies and Browser Storage
This Cookies Policy explains how Recipe Calculator Pro (culinaryhill.co.uk) uses cookies, browser localStorage, and related technologies to keep interactive recipe calculator features working, and display advertisements served through Google AdSense and programmatic advertising partners.
The recipe ingredients, nutrition label values, and food cost numbers you enter into our calculators are processed inside your browser and are never stored in advertising cookies.
1. Categories of Technologies We Use
Essential Operation and Security
Our hosting environment and server routes use strict security headers and rate-limiting mechanisms to deliver pages securely and protect our Contact endpoint from automated spam.
Browser LocalStorage for Saved Recipe Calculations
When you star scaled ingredient lines in our Recipe Calculator, your browser stores that list inlocalStorage (under the key recipeCalcFavorites / recipeCalculatorFavorites). Unlike cookies, localStoragestays on your device and is not sent to our server with HTTP requests. You can clear your saved items at any time inside the calculator or through your browser settings.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense & Programmatic Partners)
Recipe Calculator Pro uses Google AdSense (ca-pub-3565973351595856) and programmatic partners (including Mediavine where enabled) to display advertisements. When ads are served or measured, Google and authorized third-party vendors may use cookies, web beacons, and similar identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites, cap ad frequency, measure ad effectiveness, and protect against invalid traffic.
You can review or adjust your Google ad personalization settings in Google My Ad Center, and learn more about how Google handles data from publisher websites in Google's Partner Sites Policy.
2. Regional Consent Choices (UK, EEA & Switzerland)
Visitors can review or update their cookie preferences at any time using “Cookie settings” in the footer.

- Browser settings: Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and site data for individual domains. Visit All About Cookies for step-by-step browser guides.
