Last updated: 11/1/2026
Who we are
HurryRecipes (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a recipe website.
Our website address is: https://hurryrecipes.com.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection and site security.
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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if connected to Gravatar) may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact forms / Email us
If you contact us (for example through a contact form or by email), we may collect your name, email address, and the message content you send. We use this information only to respond to your request and provide support.
Media
If you upload images to the website (if enabled), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
Comment 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 you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Login cookies (if you have an account)
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
Editing cookies
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Advertising, analytics, and performance cookies (common on blogs)
HurryRecipes may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- understand how visitors use the site (analytics),
- improve site performance and user experience,
- display advertising,
- track affiliate referrals (if you click an affiliate link).
Some third-party providers may set their own cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images, recipe cards, social posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Affiliate links (recipe blog disclosure)
Some posts may include affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission if you click a link and make a purchase—at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies to track referrals.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited data with trusted services that help operate the site, such as:
- spam detection and security services,
- hosting and website tools,
- analytics and advertising providers (if enabled),
- email services used to reply to messages (if applicable).
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in the user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Contact messages may be retained for customer service purposes, but we do not use them for marketing unless you explicitly request it.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request:
- an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, and/or
- that we erase personal data we hold about you.
This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
