Privacy Policy
Last updated on February 20, 2026. The Ink & Embers Kitchen does not offer user accounts and does not collect personal data directly. We do use cookies and third-party services to improve your experience.
Your Quiet Corner: Our Privacy Promise
Just as I meticulously mend the pages of a beloved journal, we take great care in safeguarding your personal information here at Stained Pages and Slow-Simmered Stories. Your trust is as precious as a perfectly preserved recipe, and we want to ensure you feel secure when visiting our backyard garden nook.
What We Gather (And Why)
When you visit our site, we might gather a few bits of non-personally identifiable information, like which pages you enjoy most or how long you linger over a particular recipe. This helps us understand what truly resonates with you, allowing us to curate more content that feels like a warm, comforting embrace. If you choose to leave a comment or sign up for our occasional newsletter, we might ask for your name and email address. This is solely so we can respond to your thoughts or send you new stories without losing our way.
A Word on Cookies (The Digital Kind)
Yes, we use digital ‘cookies.’ These are small files stored on your device that help our site remember your preferences, like the quiet hum of a familiar kitchen, making your next visit smoother. They’re not for consumption, and they certainly don’t contain any personal secrets. You can always adjust your browser settings to decline cookies, though it might make navigating our pages a little less seamless.
Third-Party Companions
Occasionally, we might use trusted third-party services to help us understand our site’s performance or to display relevant, non-intrusive advertisements that might genuinely interest you. These partners are carefully chosen, much like selecting the finest linen for a journal cover, and they are committed to protecting your data. We do not sell or share your personal information with anyone else for marketing purposes.
Reaching Out
If you ever have a question about your privacy here, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Think of it as leaving a note in a shared recipe book. You can contact us at [your email address here]. We’re always here to listen and ensure your experience is as comforting and trustworthy as finding a long-lost family recipe.
