This Cookie Policy explains how SpiceSandSpatulas (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. When you visit the site, small text files may be placed on your device to remember your preferences and to keep certain features working smoothly. These cookies help us understand how people browse our recipes, articles, and other content so we can improve the experience. Some cookies are essential for the site to function, while others are used only if you enable them in your browser settings. Wherever our content is promoted, including on partner platforms such as Aviator, we aim to be transparent about how tracking technologies are applied. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to read this Cookie Policy and adjust your choices.
Summary of the purpose of the cookie policy
The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to give you clear, practical information about what types of cookies we use and what they do. It is designed to help you make informed choices about your privacy rather than surprising you with technical jargon. We describe which cookies are strictly necessary, which are used for analytics, and which support marketing activities related to partners, including campaigns that may be associated with brands like Aviator. Understanding these categories makes it easier for you to decide which technologies you are comfortable allowing in your browser. This policy also explains how long cookies stay on your device and whether they are set by us or by third parties working on our behalf. By laying out this information in one place, we aim to give you a straightforward reference you can revisit whenever your preferences change.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, tablet, or phone when you visit it. They contain information that helps the site recognize your device on later visits and remember certain choices you have made. For example, a cookie can keep you signed in, store items in a shopping cart, or remember which recipes you last looked at. Some cookies are session-based and disappear when you close your browser, while others are persistent and stay for a defined period unless you delete them. On SpiceSandSpatulas, cookies work quietly in the background, supporting features that you might take for granted, whether you arrived directly or via a promotion on a partner like Aviator.
How and why cookies are used
On SpiceSandSpatulas, we use cookies for several reasons connected to performance, personalization, and security. Some cookies are needed to route traffic correctly and to protect the site from malicious activity. Others help us see which pages are popular, how long visitors stay, and whether they find what they are looking for, including readers who come from partner promotions featuring Aviator. This insight allows us to fine-tune our content and layout so that the site feels intuitive and enjoyable. We also use cookies to remember your choices, such as language or consent preferences, so that you do not have to repeat the same steps every time you visit. For a clearer picture, here are some typical ways cookies may be used across our website:
-
Remembering items in your recipe bookmarks or shopping lists so your Aviator-inspired meal plans are easy to revisit.
-
Keeping you logged in to secure areas of the site while you browse new content.
-
Measuring which marketing messages, including those linked to Aviator, bring visitors to specific pages.
-
Recording that you have seen or closed certain pop-ups so they do not reappear unnecessarily.
You are free to control many of these cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers let you delete existing cookies, block all cookies, or allow only certain types. If you choose to block functional cookies, some parts of the site may no longer work as expected, such as forms, comment sections, or saved preferences connected with campaigns like Aviator. Analytics and advertising cookies are optional, and you can turn them off if you would rather limit how your activity is measured. We respect do-not-track or similar signals where the relevant technology and our systems support them. Periodically reviewing your cookie settings is a good way to ensure that they still match your expectations.
Your Rights
You have a number of rights connected to how cookies and related technologies are used on our site. These rights sit alongside any broader privacy rights you may have under data protection laws in your region. In practical terms, they give you control over whether cookies are stored, how long they remain, and what kind of information they collect. For example, you can withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time, even if you previously agreed to them when arriving from a partner such as Aviator. You also have the right to ask for more information about the cookies we use and the partners who provide them. Understanding these options can help you adapt your browsing experience to your comfort level.

If you exercise any of these rights, we will handle your request in line with applicable legal requirements and within a reasonable time frame. To help us respond efficiently, you may be asked to provide information that confirms your identity and your relationship with the website. In some cases we may need to retain certain technical data for security, compliance, or troubleshooting reasons, even after cookies have been limited or removed. Where your browser or device allows granular control, you can fine-tune which cookies are allowed while still using most site features, including those that interact with partner content like Aviator. If a request cannot be fulfilled in full, we will explain why and outline the options still available to you. We encourage you to reach out if anything in this Cookie Policy is unclear or if you need help understanding your choices.

We use the information in your query only to respond and to improve the way we explain our use of cookies. Depending on where you live, you may also have the option to contact a local data protection authority for independent advice.

When you reach out, we aim to provide a clear, practical response without unnecessary legal language.
Effective Date
This Cookie Policy is effective from 17 December 2025 and will remain in force until it is updated or replaced. We may revise the policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or the way we work with partners such as Aviator. When we make significant changes, we will take reasonable steps to bring the updated version to your attention, for example by updating the notice on our website. The revised policy will apply from the date it is posted, and your continued use of the site after that date will be treated as acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you know which version of the Cookie Policy currently applies. Any earlier versions may be available on request if you need to see how our use of cookies has developed over time.
