At DesiNom, we believe you should know exactly what’s happening when you visit our site — including the small files your browser stores while you’re here. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that websites save on your device when you visit. They help sites remember things — like keeping you logged in, recalling your preferences, or understanding which pages people enjoy most. Most of the web runs on them, and DesiNom is no exception. Nothing scary, but you deserve to know the details.
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are the cookies WordPress needs to function. They handle things like keeping an admin logged in while managing the site and remembering that you’ve dismissed a notice. Without these, the site simply wouldn’t work. No consent needed for these — they’re the engine, not the extras.
Preference Cookies
If you interact with features like our contact form (powered by WPForms Lite), small cookies may remember your input so you don’t lose what you’ve typed if something interrupts you. These exist purely for your convenience.
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics (connected through Site Kit) to understand how visitors use DesiNom — which recipes are popular, where readers come from, and what we can improve. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, anonymous way. They help us make better content decisions, like which recipes to write next.
Advertising Cookies
We plan to display ads through Google AdSense to support the site. When active, Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to DesiNom and other websites. These are often called advertising or targeting cookies, and they allow for personalized ads. You can learn more about how Google uses data in advertising at Google’s Privacy & Terms pages.
Third-Party Cookies
Some content on DesiNom may come from third parties — for example, embedded Pinterest pins or, in the future, embedded videos. These services may set their own cookies when their content loads on our pages. We don’t control those cookies; their own privacy policies apply.
How You Can Control Cookies
You are always in charge. Here’s how to manage cookies:
- Browser settings: Every major browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) lets you block, delete, or be notified about cookies. Look under Settings or Preferences, then Privacy or Security.
- Delete existing cookies: You can clear cookies already stored on your device at any time through your browser’s settings.
- Opt out of personalized ads: You can opt out of Google’s personalized advertising at Google’s Ad Settings page.
One honest note: if you block all cookies, parts of DesiNom may not work as smoothly — forms might behave oddly, for example. That’s the trade-off, and it’s entirely your call.
Changes to This Policy
As DesiNom grows — new features, new tools, new ad partners — this policy may change. We’ll update this page with the revision date so you always know what the current version says.
