Privacy Policy

Last updated · May 28, 2026

This policy explains what data The Culinary Standard collects when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have about it. We believe in your right to privacy, which is why we strictly minimize the data we collect.

Information we collect

We only collect information that is strictly necessary to operate our website and communicate with our readers. Most importantly: we do not use cookies to track our users across the web, and we absolutely do not sell your personal data.

  • Information you provide directly (e.g., your email address if you choose to sign up for our newsletter).
  • Automatically collected, anonymized technical information (e.g., basic, non-invasive server analytics like browser type or region, which cannot be used to identify you personally).
  • Zero tracking cookies. We do not employ third-party tracking cookies to monitor your browsing behavior.

How we use information

The minimal data we do collect is used solely to improve your experience. If you provide your email, we use it exclusively to send you the newsletter you requested. Basic, anonymized analytics are used internally to understand which articles are performing well so we can continue to create high-quality content that our readers enjoy.

Sharing and third parties

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share data with trusted, essential third-party service providers (such as the platform that hosts our email newsletter) strictly for the purpose of operating our site. These providers are legally bound to keep your information confidential and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate network may use their own tracking technologies to credit the sale, which is governed by their respective privacy policies.

Your choices and rights

You have total control over your information. If you are subscribed to our newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email. You also have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, or request that we completely delete it from our systems.
