What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you browse the internet. They allow a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them each time you visit the site or navigate from page to page.

In addition to cookies, mumcooks may also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage to collect and share information about your interaction with our site.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with the core functionality of the site. Without them, services such as page navigation, secure login, and the ability to add items to a shopping list would not work. Essential cookies are set automatically when you visit the site and cannot be disabled through our cookie banner.

2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with mumcooks. These cookies collect information such as the pages you visit, the time you spend on each page, and how you arrived at the site (e.g., search engine, referral link). The data is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify you personally.

3. Social Media Cookies

mumcooks integrates social media sharing buttons that allow you to share recipes, tips, and articles directly to Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. These platforms place their own cookies to track your interaction with the shared content and to personalize your experience on their services.

4. Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your personal preferences, such as language selection, theme (light or dark mode), and the layout you prefer when browsing recipes. By storing these choices, we can provide a more tailored experience each time you return.
