Privacy and cookies
Last updated:
This privacy notice applies to Noors Kitchen on noorscookingkitchen.com. Below, you can read which personal data we use, why we use it, and what choices and rights you have. You can browse the recipes without consenting to analytics or personalized ads.
Who is responsible?
Okapi Digital is responsible for processing personal data through this website. Have a question about your data or want to make a privacy request? Email info@okapidigital.nl and mention that your message is about noorscookingkitchen.com .
What data do we use, and why?
We process only the data needed to run the website, respond to messages, and, if you choose, provide analytics and advertising.
- Website visits and security. When a page loads, our hosting and network providers receive technical data such as your IP address, the requested page address, the time, and browser information. This is needed to deliver pages and images, investigate problems, and prevent misuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the website working and secure.
- Contact by email. If you email us, we process your email address, any name you provide, and the contents of your message to answer your question. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in handling correspondence. Don’t include ID documents or sensitive personal data unless necessary.
- Analytics. With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand which recipes and pages people view. The legal basis is consent.
- Ads. When Google AdSense is active, Google and advertising partners may use data to show and measure ads. We ask for consent for advertising cookies and personalization where required. Your choices are shown in the consent message.
You don’t need to create a visitor account on this website to read or save recipes. We don’t make decisions based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects on you. If you choose to, Google may personalize ads based on your interests and browsing behavior.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is only loaded after you explicitly consent to analytics. It may then process information such as pages visited, click and visit times, referring websites, device and browser data, and a cookie identifier. Search terms may be included in a measured page address. So please don’t enter personal data in the search field.
We use these analytics to see which content people read and to improve the website. Google Signals and ad personalization through our Analytics tag are disabled. Google’s processing is also subject to Google’s privacy policy.
Google AdSense
AdSense is not currently enabled. The verification tag and the ads.txt file confirm our publisher account and don’t themselves set advertising cookies. Once we enable AdSense, we’ll use Google’s consent message for ad and analytics choices and update this information.
You can change your consent at any time via Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Rejecting optional cookies won’t stop you from reading recipes. If you withdraw your Analytics consent, we delete the Analytics cookies that our website can remove and reload the page without the Analytics tag. Withdrawal doesn’t undo earlier processing or automatically delete data already sent to Google.
Service providers and data outside the EEA
We use service providers for hosting, network security, images, and storage: Hetzner, Cloudflare, and Neon. These services may process technical data needed to deliver and maintain the website. Google receives data for Analytics and, when enabled, AdSense, according to your choices. Your browser also connects to Google Fonts for the fonts on the website; technical connection data such as your IP address is processed in the process. Google Fonts doesn’t use cookies for this.
Data may be processed by international service providers outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Not every country has the same privacy rules as the EU. Applicable safeguards apply to these transfers, such as an adequacy decision by the European Commission or standard contractual clauses. You can also find information about transfer conditions in the privacy information provided by Cloudflare, Neon and Google.
We don’t sell your contact details. We share data with others when needed for the services described, when you consent, or when we’re legally required to do so.
How long do we keep data?
Browser storage durations are listed in the table above. These are not the same as the retention period for data already sent to a service provider.
- Correspondence: As long as needed to handle your question and any follow-up. A longer period may apply if a message is needed for a dispute or legal obligation.
- Technical data: As long as needed to provide the website, investigate problems, and handle security incidents. The purpose and need for an investigation determine the retention period.
- Analytics: Google Analytics is set to retain event data for 2 months and user data for 14 months. These settings are separate from the duration of Analytics cookies. Aggregated reports may remain available for longer.
Your privacy rights
Where applicable, you can ask to access, correct, or delete your personal data, restrict its processing, or transfer data you’ve provided to us. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can always withdraw consent for processing based on consent.
Send your request to info@okapidigital.nl. We generally respond within one month. For a complex request, this period may be extended; we’ll let you know within the first month if that happens. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity, but we don’t routinely ask for a complete copy of your ID. We can’t link some browser data to you without additional information.
If you’re unhappy with how your data is being processed, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
Security and changes
We use measures such as encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access restrictions to manage the website. No security measure can eliminate every risk. If the website or the use of personal data changes, we’ll update this notice. The date at the top shows when the text was last updated.
