Who we are
The privacy of visitors to Smart in the Kitchen (https://www.smartinthekitchen.com) is very important. We never have and never will sell your personal information to third parties. Any information we do collect from you, such as your email address, is used for communication purposes. Like many blogs, Smart in the Kitchen uses log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, understand how users navigate the site, and gather demographic information.
What personal data we collect and why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect data in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. This will last for one year.
