Cookies
Not only do we bake cookies, we also use cookies in this web site to track overall usage and to keep track of your navigation. For example, when you are viewing a certain page of the index, the cookbook remembers the page for you. When you search the cookbook for a phrase, it remembers the list that was generated. Therefore, for the site to work best, it is important that you have cookies enabled on your browser, at least so the cookie can be sent to the originating server.

All this is done with a single cookie that allows your browser to tell us a nonsensicle but unique value we call a session id. There is no other information, certainly no personal information, that is being sent to us. In addition, the cookie expires as soon as you close your browser.

Third-party Advertising
On May 25, 2018, due to new GDPR regulation in the European Union, we dropped all advertising from the site. The third party advertisers were requiring changes to our site to comply with this regulation, and considering the revenue, or lack thereof, from those advertisers, it was not worth our time to study the compliance requirements and changes we would have to make to ensure that we would not be deemed in violation someday and have to somehow cough up the minimum €10,000,000 fine. Yes, that's what the regulation says, that even a site like this one, that barely generated hamburger money on a monthly basis, could be subject to a fine equal to millions of hamburgers.
