Privacy Policy for All Sites in the CDKitchen Recipe Network

CDKitchen.com is concerned about your privacy. We do our very best not to infringe upon your freedom to surf the internet. The only information we collect from your surfing is to monitor traffic flow on our sites (which pages are viewed and how often), to maintain security (in case of hacking), and to keep our sites up to date (when broken links are found). IP address is used solely for traffic flow patterns (if there was another way we'd use it - sorry!), browser type/platform is used so we can design our sites so the majority of our visitors can use all of our features - we hate to leave anyone out.

If you sign up for a recipEbox account when you log in CDKitchen will set a session-based cookie. This cookie is used so the website can remember who you are when you try to add something to your recipEbox. Session-based means that when you close your browser or shut down your computer, the cookie is erased (but not the data you added to your recipEbox!). This is why you have to log in each time you visit CDKitchen. Session-based cookies are safer since the data isn't stored any longer than necessary.

However, we do use third-party advertising to serve ads on our sites. These companies - including but not limited to Google/DART, Tribal Fusion, Burst Media, FastClick/ValueClick, Casale Media - may use information (they do NOT use your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to our and other web sites in order to provide advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

We do share visitor traffic information to our sites with these companies for the sole purpose of managing and targeting advertisements and for market research analysis on our sites. The third-party advertising companies may use pixel tags (also called clear gifs) to note which pages are more popular than others for advertising purposes. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertisers may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your computer. If you would like more information about the information collection practices of these third-party advertising companies and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies (opt-out information), you can find out more here:

Any information given voluntarily, such as an email address used to sign up for our mailing lists, is used for internal purposes only and is NEVER, EVER sold or given to anyone outside of CDKitchen. Voluntarily submitted addresses may be used for correspondence from CDKitchen regarding recipEbox accounts, important changes to the website, or other messages. You may easily opt out of this correspondence by cancelling the service you requested (recipEbox, mailing list, etc). Publicly posted email addresses (such as in any open forum, reviews, comments) on the site are not recommended as CDKitchen cannot provide protection of those addresses.

Email addresses entered by visitors to send recipes from the website are NOT stored or recorded.

CDKitchen does maintain relationships with outside companies and websites but your only contact with them is if you click on a banner or link and are redirected to their site (which we hope you'll do to keep CDK free and minimize our need for advertising!). We can not control their use of information and urge you to be aware that you will be subject to their privacy policy once leaving our site. While we try to partner with the most reputable companies, we are not responsible for actions. Please feel free to report any misuse of information from outside companies so we can evaluate our partnerships with them.

If you feel that your privacy has been violated in any way by this website, please contact us and let us know.
