Website Name: 1 Minute Recipe , Effective Date: April 05, 2026 Last Updated: April 05, 2026
1. Let’s Talk About Cookies
No, not the chocolate chip kind — although we do have a great recipe for those on the blog! This page is about the digital kind of cookies that websites use. We know cookie policies can feel boring and confusing so we have tried our best to write this one in plain, simple language that actually makes sense.
If you have ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when you visit 1 Minute Recipe — this page will explain everything honestly and clearly.
2. So What Exactly Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a tiny text file that gets saved onto your device — your phone, laptop or tablet — when you visit a website. Think of it like a little sticky note that a website leaves on your device so it can remember things about your visit.
For example a cookie might remember that you have already seen our newsletter popup so it does not show it to you again every single time you visit. Or it might remember which recipes you looked at so we can understand what our readers enjoy most.
Cookies do not contain viruses. They cannot access your personal files. They are simply small pieces of information that help websites work better and smarter.
3. Why Does 1 Minute Recipe Use Cookies?
We use cookies for a few honest and straightforward reasons —
- To understand how many people visit our website and which recipes are the most popular
- To remember your preferences so your experience on our site feels smoother
- To make sure our website loads properly and works the way it should
- To show you relevant advertisements that help us keep this blog free for everyone
- To track which links and buttons our readers click so we can keep improving our content
We do not use cookies to spy on you, collect sensitive personal information or do anything that would make you uncomfortable.
4. The Different Types of Cookies We Use
Not all cookies are the same. Here is a breakdown of the ones you might find on 1 Minute Recipe —
a) Essential Cookies
These are the cookies that keep our website functioning properly. Without them certain parts of the site simply would not work. They do not collect any personal information and they are not used for tracking or advertising. You cannot opt out of these because the website needs them to run.
b) Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors interact with our website. We use tools like Google Analytics to see things like how many people visited a particular recipe page, how long they stayed and where they came from. All of this data is completely anonymous — we cannot see who you are, just general patterns of how people use our site. This helps us create better content for you.
c) Preference Cookies
These cookies remember small things about your visit — like whether you have already closed our cookie banner or subscribed to our newsletter. They make your experience a little more personal and less repetitive.
d) Advertising Cookies
We may use advertising services like Google AdSense to display ads on our website. These services use cookies to show you ads that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing history. The ads help us keep 1 Minute Recipe free and running. If you would rather not see personalised ads you can adjust your settings through your browser or visit the Google Ads settings page.
e) Third Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website come from third party services that we use — like YouTube if we embed a recipe video, or Pinterest if you use our save button. These third parties have their own cookie policies and we have no control over what they collect. We recommend checking their individual policies if you are curious.
5. How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?
Cookies do not all last the same amount of time. There are two main types when it comes to duration —
Session Cookies — These only exist while your browser is open. The moment you close your browser tab or window they disappear completely. They are temporary and do not leave anything behind.
Persistent Cookies — These stay on your device for a set period of time even after you close your browser. They come back and recognize you the next time you visit. Most of the analytics and advertising cookies fall into this category. They typically last anywhere from a few days to a couple of years depending on the service.
6. Can I Control or Turn Off Cookies?
Absolutely. You are always in control. Here are your options —
Through Your Browser: Every major browser lets you manage, block or delete cookies through its settings. Here is where to find them —
- Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Please keep in mind that if you block all cookies some parts of 1 Minute Recipe may not work as smoothly as usual. Essential cookies in particular are needed for the site to function properly.

For Personalised Ads: You can manage your Google ad preferences at: 👉 https://adssettings.google.com
7. Cookie Consent
When you first visit 1 Minute Recipe you will see a small banner at the bottom of the page letting you know that we use cookies. By continuing to browse our website after seeing that banner you are giving us your consent to use cookies as described in this policy.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings as described above.
8. We Do Not Sell Your Cookie Data
We want to be completely clear about this. We do not sell, trade or hand over any data collected through cookies to other companies for their own marketing purposes. Any information collected through cookies is used only to improve 1 Minute Recipe and your experience on it.
9. Updates to This Cookie Policy
