What information we collect

- Technical data: like most websites, our hosting provider records server logs, which can include IP addresses, browser type and pages visited, for security and troubleshooting.
- Recipe checklists: if you tick ingredients on a recipe, that is saved only in your own browser (local storage) and is never sent to us.
