They help the site remember information about your visit, such as your language preferences, items in your shopping cart, or whether you have accepted the privacy policy. Cookies can be either “first‑party” (set by the site you are visiting) or “third‑party” (set by another domain, usually an advertising or analytics partner).

3. Social Media Cookies (Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook)

We embed social media buttons and share widgets from Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook to allow you to share recipes and content directly from our site.
