Cookie Policy

Last updated:

FamilyTableVibes (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to operate this website, understand how it’s used, and personalize content. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types we use, and how you can control them.

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They enable core site features (like page navigation and forms), remember preferences, and help us analyze performance. Related technologies include local storage, pixels, and tags—together referred to here as “cookies.”

2) How we use cookies

• Strictly necessary: Required for the site to function (e.g., security, load balancing, basic form submission). These cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Performance & analytics: Help us measure traffic and improve content (e.g., aggregated stats about which recipes are viewed most). We use them to understand what’s helpful and fix issues.
• Functionality: Remember your settings and preferences (for example, if you’ve dismissed a banner), to give you a smoother experience.
• Advertising & social: Used by approved partners to deliver or measure ads and to enable social features or embeds (for example, Pinterest boards). These may build a profile of your interests.

3) Third-party cookies & embeds

Some features on our site rely on third parties. When you interact with these services, they may set their own cookies:

• Analytics providers (to help us measure usage and improve performance).
• Advertising/monetization partners (to deliver relevant ads and measure effectiveness).
• Social & media embeds such as Pinterest boards or video players (to display content and remember your settings).

These providers may combine information collected on our site with other data you’ve provided to them or they’ve collected from your use of their services. Their use of data is subject to their own privacy/cookie policies.

4) Your choices

• Consent preferences: Where available, you can revisit your choices from our cookie banner. You can also clear cookies in your browser to re-trigger the banner.
• Browser controls: Most browsers let you block/delete cookies. See your browser’s help pages (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) for instructions.
• Interest-based advertising opt-outs: You can opt out of many ad partners via the NAI, DAA (US), or EDAA (EU). These tools affect the browser you use at the time.

5) California privacy choices

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of “sale”/“sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our site uses advertising cookies that constitute “selling” or “sharing,” you can exercise your rights via our Privacy Policy or by contacting us through the contact page.

6) How long cookies last

Some cookies are session-based (removed when you close your browser). Others are persistent and remain until they expire or you delete them. Duration varies by cookie and purpose.

7) Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our practices or applicable laws. We’ll post updates here with a new “Last updated” date.
