Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how FondueCooking.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at fonduecooking.com. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Contact form submissions: when you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message.
Email sign-ups: if you request our free guide, your name and email address are submitted to our email provider, AWeber, which sends you the guide and a short series of tips. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Usage data: non-personally-identifiable information about how visitors use the site, including pages visited, time on page, and referring URLs.
Log files: like most websites, our host automatically records IP addresses, browser type, ISP, date/time stamps, and referring/exit pages, used to analyse trends and administer the site.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies — small text files stored on your device — and similar technologies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work correctly if you do. The categories we use are:

Essential cookies: required for the site to function.
Analytics cookies: set by Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site.
Remarketing cookies: set by Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising so we can show ads to past visitors on other platforms. See the Analytics and Advertising section below.

Analytics and Advertising

We do not run a third-party display advertising network such as Google AdSense on this site. We use the following measurement and remarketing tools:

Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-02TG798V2Y) — measures site usage. It records data such as approximate location, device and browser type, and pages visited. It does not receive your name, email address, or the values you type into forms or tools.
Google Ads remarketing tag (AW-10865441394) — lets us show ads to people who have visited this site when they browse other sites in Google’s network.
Microsoft Advertising (Bing) UET tag — the equivalent remarketing and measurement tag for Microsoft’s network.

These tools use cookies and device identifiers. They track information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, but do not include your name, postal address, email address, or phone number.

Opting out: you can opt out of personalised Google advertising at Google My Ad Center, opt out across many networks at the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance pages, and manage Microsoft advertising choices at Microsoft’s ad settings. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Amazon Associates

FondueCooking.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an Amazon affiliate link on our site, Amazon may set cookies on your device. See Amazon’s Privacy Notice for details.
