Cookie Policy for mumdishdaily

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how mumdishdaily (accessible at https://mumdishdaily.com) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. By continuing to browse or use our services, you consent to the placement and use of cookies as described below. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you should stop using the site or adjust your browser settings accordingly.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details, language, and display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them each time you return.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage to collect information about your interaction with our content.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential (or strictly necessary) cookies enable core functionality of the website. They are required for basic features such as navigation, secure login, and the ability to add items to a shopping cart (if applicable). Without these cookies, the site would not function correctly.

• _session_id – Stores a temporary session identifier to keep you logged in while you browse.
• csrf_token – Protects against cross‑site request forgery attacks.

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site, which pages are most popular, and where improvements can be made. These cookies collect anonymised data such as page views, session duration, and referral sources.

• _ga – Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number.
• _gid – Stores and updates a unique ID for each page visited.
• _gat – Used to throttle request rates and limit data collection on high‑traffic sites.

3.3 Social Media Cookies

To enable easy sharing of our recipes, articles, and videos, we embed social media buttons from Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook. These platforms place their own cookies when you interact with the buttons or view embedded content.

• Pinterest – _pinterest_sess and _pinterest_ct for remembering your preferences and tracking engagement.
• Instagram – mid and ig_did to help Instagram personalise content and ads.
• Facebook – fbp and fbc for delivering targeted advertisements and measuring the effectiveness of social campaigns.

3.4 Preference Cookies

Preference cookies store information about your choices on the site, such as language, theme (light/dark mode), and display settings. This allows us to present a more personalised experience each time you return.

• site_lang – Remembers your selected language.
• theme_mode – Saves your preferred colour scheme.

4. How Long Do Cookies Remain Active?

The lifespan of a cookie depends on its purpose:

• Session cookies (e.g., _session_id) are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies (e.g., _ga, site_lang) remain on your device for a set period, ranging from a few days to two years, unless you delete them manually.

Those providers may set their own cookies, which are governed by their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies if you have concerns.
