I like nuts, so here it is in a nutshell:

Advertising

These tools measure the effect of our advertising, track visit details, and generate information we use to make our ads more relevant to you.

Display Ads

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve content and advertisements when you visit the site, which may use cookies, as noted below. Advertisers occasionally use cookies to serve you relevant ads. We do not have control over cookies placed by advertisers.

Retargeting Ads

From time to time, Savoring Today may engage in re-marketing efforts with third-party companies, such as Google, Facebook, or Instagram, in order to market the Website. These companies use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Website.

Affiliate Program Participation

Savoring Today may engage in affiliate marketing, which is done by embedding tracking links into the Website. If you click on a link for an affiliate partnership, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions.

Savoring Today is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and links to Amazon.com. As part of this Amazon Associates program, the Website will post customized links, provided by Amazon, to track the referrals to their website. This program utilizes cookies to track visits for the purposes of assigning commission on these sales. (See details about using cookies below.)

Newsletters (Notifications of Recipe Updates)

Subscribing to our email list allows us to send you newsletters and periodic updates about our recipes and products. These emails may be used for advertising purposes and all newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. Also, this allows Savoring Today to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties.

SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION
At no time should you submit sensitive personal information to Savoring Today LLC. This includes your social security number, information regarding race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health information, or anything else you wish to remain private. If you elect to submit such information to us, it will be subject to this Privacy Policy.
