What this website collects
On this device only. The cooking timer and your cookie preferences are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. They are not sent to us and there is no account. Clearing your browser data removes them.
Contact email. The contact form does not send or store anything at present: it only checks your entries on the page, because the site's email address is not open yet. When email contact opens, any message you send will be used only to reply to your enquiry and to correct or improve the page concerned, and this policy will be updated to say exactly what is received.
Hosting logs. Cloudflare may process standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) in server logs for security and operation of the site. How long those logs are kept is set by the hosting provider's own retention policy.
Fonts. This website loads its typefaces from Google Fonts. When your browser requests those font files, Google receives your IP address and browser details, as with any file loaded from another company's server.
Analytics and advertising. None are active on this website at present. If analytics or advertising are added later, this policy and the Cookie Policy will be updated first, and consent will be requested where the law requires it.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have rights including access to your personal data, correction, erasure, and objection to or restriction of processing, depending on the circumstances. To use any of them, contact us at the email on the Contact page. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the UK.
