We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies (small data files stored on your device) to enhance your browsing experience by remembering your preferences and analyzing site traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work properly without them.
5. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to analyze traffic or manage content. Examples include:
- Google Analytics — for visitor statistics
- Mailchimp / Substack / ConvertKit — for newsletters
- YouTube / TikTok embeds — for recipe videos
These services have their own privacy policies. Please review them for details on how they manage data.
6. Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help detect spam. Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service such as Akismet.
7. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or recipes). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly. Those websites may collect data about you or use tracking cookies, so we recommend reviewing their privacy policies.
8. Data Retention
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely. If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored until you unsubscribe, after which it is securely deleted.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information. You can also withdraw consent to receive communications at any time.
To make a request, please contact us at: support@filipinoamericancooking.com
10. Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information using SSL encryption and trusted hosting providers. However, no online transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
11. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided data, please contact us to remove it immediately.
