YouTube Videos:

This website displays embedded YouTube Videos. What this means is that our recipe videos, that we upload to YouTube platform, are 'embedded' using a code so that our users on our website can watch the video from our site instead of having to go watch it on YouTube. If a user presses play and watches one of these videos, then YouTube places a cookie in your browser. Unfortunately, there is no way for our website to stop YouTube from doing this. What you can do is: you can choose not to play videos while visiting this website, or you can block cookies from your browser altogether. Learn how below.

Visitor Statistics Cookies:

We use cookies to compile visitor statistics such as how many people have visited our website, what type of technology they are using (e.g. Mac or Windows which helps to identify when our site isn't working as it should for particular technologies), how long they spend on the site, what page they look at etc. This helps us to continuously improve our website. These so called “analytics” programs also tell us if how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.

Cookies are required so that these partners can reward us our commission for any sales that occur. These cookies are usually provided by specialist companies (known as affiliate networks). Neither us nor the affiliate networks are able to identify you personally, unless of course you go ahead and make a purchase in which case your personal information provided to them will be subject to that individual merchants privacy policy.

We ask you to support us by allowing these cookies to remain on which ultimately help us to offer you the service we do at the price we do (free!). However, you can choose to opt out of cookies by following the instructions on this Opt Out Of Cookies article.

Turning Cookies Off

You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies (Learn how here). Doing so however will likely limit the functionality of our's and a large proportion of the world's websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites

It may be that you concerns around cookies relate to so called "spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive.
