Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-29

This Privacy Policy describes how cookingcalc.org (“we,” “us,” or “the site”) handles information when you visit and use the calculators, density tables, and FAQ content published here.

1. Information we collect

The site is a static website with no user accounts, sign-ups, or forms. The only information collected is what is automatically gathered by your browser when visiting any website:

IP address and approximate location (country / region)
Browser type and version, operating system, device type
Pages visited, time spent, and referring URL
Aggregated, non-personally-identifying interaction signals (e.g., clicks, scroll depth)

We do not collect names, email addresses, payment information, or any other directly identifying data, because the site does not ask for it.

2. Cookies and tracking technologies

This site uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Site analytics — Cloudflare Web Analytics. Privacy-friendly, no cookies in most regions; provides aggregated traffic data.
Advertising — Google AdSense places cookies (e.g., DSID, IDE, NID) to serve relevant ads, measure performance, and prevent fraud. You can review and adjust your ad preferences in Google Ads Settings.
Consent state — If you are visiting from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, Google’s Consent Management Platform stores your consent choice in a cookie so that the consent banner does not reappear on every page.

You may block or delete cookies in your browser settings; doing so may affect site functionality and which ads are shown.

3. Advertising

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC. AdSense may use cookies and pixel tags to serve ads relevant to your interests. Some ads may be personalized based on prior visits to this and other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on visits to this and other sites on the Internet. To opt out of personalized advertising:

Visit Google Ads Settings
Visit aboutads.info (Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out)
EU/UK users: visit youronlinechoices.eu

4. Affiliate links

Some links to products on this site are affiliate links. When you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Specifically, we participate in:

The Amazon Services LLC Associates Program

Affiliate commissions help fund the site’s hosting and content development. They do not influence which ingredients we cover or which density values we publish; recommended products are limited to general kitchen equipment (digital scales, measuring cups, sifters) that is genuinely useful for accurate cooking. All conversion values are estimates derived from authoritative sources cited per page — for high-stakes baking, weighing on a kitchen scale will always be more reliable than measuring by volume.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent laws:

Right of access to personal data we hold about you
Right to rectification of inaccurate data
Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
Right to restrict or object to processing
Right to data portability
Right to withdraw consent at any time (use the cookie-consent banner’s “Manage options”)
Right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority

Because this site collects only minimal, non-identifying data and does not sell user data, most requests resolve as “no data on file.” For verifiable requests, contact us at the address below.

6. Your rights (CCPA — California residents)

California residents have the right under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to:

Know what personal information is collected
Request deletion of personal information
Opt out of the sale of personal information — note that this site does not sell personal information
Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

To exercise California rights, contact us at the address below.

7. Children’s privacy (COPPA)

This site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Data retention

We do not maintain a database of visitors. Cloudflare and Google may retain server logs and aggregated analytics per their respective retention policies. Affiliate networks retain click data per their terms.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance.
