Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect information you choose to provide, such as your email address or the contents of a message you send us. We may also receive technical information such as browser type, device information, approximate location, IP address, pages viewed, referring pages, and interactions with site features through hosting, security, analytics, advertising, ecommerce, or similar services.

If digital products, checkout, email subscriptions, saved recipes, accounts, or other interactive features are offered, the services used to provide those features may process information needed to complete the transaction, deliver the product or service, manage subscriptions or accounts, prevent fraud, or provide support.

How we use information

• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website.
• To respond to messages, requests, and support questions.
• To understand how visitors use the site and improve recipes, QuickFind, navigation, planning tools, and content.
• To deliver requested emails, downloads, products, or services when those features are used.
• To measure site performance, advertising, commerce, and feature usage where applicable.
• To comply with legal, security, accounting, or fraud-prevention requirements where applicable.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site and services connected to it may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, or similar technologies for essential site functions, security, preferences, analytics, ecommerce, advertising, measurement, and other features. Where required, we may ask for consent before non-essential technologies are used. Your browser may also allow you to block or delete cookies, although some site functions may not work correctly if essential cookies are disabled.

Analytics and third-party services

We may use third-party services for hosting, security, performance, analytics, email delivery, ecommerce, payment processing, embedded content, advertising, and other website functions. Those providers may process information under their own privacy policies. We aim to use only services reasonably necessary to operate, measure, monetize, and improve Weeknight Family Meals.

Analytics: When analytics is enabled, Weeknight Family Meals may use Google Analytics through MonsterInsights or similar analytics tooling to understand traffic sources, site usage, and feature performance. We aim not to intentionally send names, email addresses, or visitor-entered free text from our dinner tools as analytics event data.

Affiliate and commerce measurement: When affiliate or shopping links are used, the applicable partner or affiliate-network service may use tracking links, referral parameters, cookies, device information, or similar measurement tools to determine whether a qualifying action or purchase originated from Weeknight Family Meals. We use affiliate relationships subject to our Affiliate Disclosure and aim to provide clear disclosures near material affiliate recommendations.

Shoppable recipes, ingredient ordering, and Chicory

Weeknight Family Meals may use services provided by Recipe Into Reality, Inc. dba Chicory (“Chicory”) to add shopping-list, ingredient-ordering, digital grocery-cart, retailer-selection, and related shoppable-recipe functionality to recipe content. Chicory may also provide contextual or other advertising and measurement services in or around recipe content.

When Chicory technology is enabled, information about visits to this website and interactions with Chicory features may be collected and used as permitted under Chicory’s Product Privacy Policy, including to provide, measure, and improve advertising and commerce experiences. Chicory states that its Product may use technologies such as cookies, pixels, tags, device or cookie identifiers, IP addresses, page and engagement data, and other information described in its policy.

Chicory may connect recipe ingredients to products offered by ecommerce retailers and may enable visitors to add selected products to a retailer’s digital shopping cart. The ecommerce retailer, not Weeknight Family Meals or Chicory, is responsible for the sale, availability, pricing, fulfillment, delivery, returns, and other processing of grocery purchases.

You can learn more about Chicory’s data practices and advertising choices, including available opt-out options, in the Chicory Product Privacy Policy.

Email communications

If you choose to join an email list, request a free resource, or receive product updates, we may use the email address you provide to deliver what you requested and related Weeknight Family Meals communications. Marketing emails should include a way to unsubscribe.

Purchases

If paid products are offered, payment information is generally processed by the payment or ecommerce provider rather than stored directly by Weeknight Family Meals. We may receive transaction details such as your name, email address, product purchased, order status, and other information needed to fulfill or support the purchase.

Embedded content and external links

Pages may link to or embed content from other websites. Those websites may collect information, use cookies, or track interactions according to their own policies. Weeknight Family Meals is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.

Data retention

Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to provide requested services, maintain business and security records, or satisfy applicable legal obligations.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, privacy laws may give you rights relating to personal information, such as requesting access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or information about how data is used or shared. You may contact us at the email address above to make a privacy-related request. We may need to verify a request before acting on it.

Where a consent or privacy-preference tool is available on the site, you may also use it to manage eligible cookie or advertising preferences. Chicory-specific choices are described in Chicory’s Product Privacy Policy linked above.

Children’s privacy

Weeknight Family Meals is intended for adults planning and preparing meals for households. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the website, its services, partners, or legal requirements change. The date at the top of the policy will be updated when material revisions are made.
