This Cookie Policy explains how Healty Blog ("we," "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.healtyblog.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, tablet or phone when you visit. Similar technologies include local storage (a small storage area in your browser), pixels and scripts. They help a website work properly, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other companies (for example, an analytics or advertising provider) are called third-party cookies.
How we use cookies and similar technologies
1. Strictly necessary (always active)
These are needed for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They do not identify you personally.
- hah_cookie_consent (local storage) — remembers whether you chose "Accept all" or "Essential only," so we don't ask you on every page. Kept until you clear your browser storage.
- hah_checklist_[recipe] (local storage) — remembers which ingredients you checked off on a recipe page, for your convenience. Stored only in your browser and never sent to us.
2. Analytics (optional)
With your consent, we may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand, in aggregate, how many people visit the Site, which pages are popular and how visitors navigate. This helps us improve our content. These tools may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_* that typically last up to 2 years.
3. Advertising measurement (optional)
We may promote the Site through online advertising, such as Google Ads. With your consent, advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure whether an ad led to a visit or a sign-up (conversion measurement). Examples include Google cookies such as _gcl_au, which typically last up to 90 days.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive health information about you.
Third-party services
Our pages load web fonts from Google Fonts and images from the Unsplash content delivery network. When your browser requests these files, those providers receive standard technical information such as your IP address and browser type. They do not use these requests to set cookies on our Site for advertising purposes. Please see Google's and Unsplash's privacy policies for details.
Managing your choices
When you first visit the Site, a banner lets you choose "Accept all" or "Essential only." If you choose "Essential only," we will not use optional analytics or advertising cookies.
You can change your choice at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of any page, which reopens the banner.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies and clear local storage. Here's where to find these settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Delete browsing data.
- Safari: Settings (or Preferences) → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
Please note that blocking all cookies and storage may affect how the Site works — for example, the cookie banner may reappear on each visit and ingredient checklists won't be remembered.
To learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt out, you may visit Google's Ad Settings, the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org).
Global Privacy Control
Where required by law, we treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as a request to opt out of optional advertising cookies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add or change the tools we use. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
