Privacy policy

What this covers

This policy explains what happens to your data when you use Online Recipe Converter (https://onlinerecipeconverter.com), including the recipe scaler, unit converter, oven temperature converter, calorie counter, and pan size guide.

Recipe and conversion data

Every conversion runs in your browser using JavaScript. Ingredient lists, quantities, and any text you paste into a tool are processed on your device and are not sent to our servers, stored in a database, or shared with any third party. There's no account to create, so we don't hold a profile of your activity.

A few preferences, like dark mode and the pan size guide's screen calibration, are saved using your browser's local storage so they persist between visits. That data stays on your device; it's never transmitted anywhere and you can clear it any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

Shareable links

When you generate a shareable link for a converted recipe, the conversion details are encoded in the URL itself, not stored on a server. Anyone with that link can view the conversion it contains, so avoid sharing a link if the recipe text includes information you'd rather keep private.

Server and hosting logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical information for security and reliability, such as IP address, browser type, and the page requested. These logs are not used to identify individual visitors and are not combined with anything you type into the conversion tools.

Cookies and analytics

If you accept cookies, this site uses Google Analytics (Google tag / gtag.js) to understand traffic, such as which pages are visited and roughly how many people use each tool. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information like your approximate location, device and browser type, and pages viewed. It does not receive the recipe text or quantities you type into a conversion tool, since those never leave your browser. You can opt out using a browser extension such as Google's Analytics opt-out add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser settings. See Google's guide to how data is usedfor more.

Advertising

If you accept cookies, this site shows ads served by third-party advertising networks, including Adsterra. These networks may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and, in some cases, tailor ads based on your visits to this and other websites. The information they collect can include your IP address, browser and device type, and pages viewed. We don't control these networks' cookies and don't receive your personal data from them. See Adsterra's privacy policyfor details.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.infoor youronlinechoices.com, or by blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings. As with analytics, ad scripts do not receive the recipe text or quantities you type into a conversion tool.

Your cookie choices

When you first visit, we ask whether you accept cookies for analytics and ads. Google Analytics and ads only load if you click Accept. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage. You can change it at any time using the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
