Welcome to IlmCodex (https://www.ilmcodex.com). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data when you visit our website, read our fast food recipes, reviews, or interact with our content.

By using IlmCodex, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to improve your experience and comply with legal requirements.

A. Personal Information You Provide Voluntarily

When you contact us via email (support@ilmcodex.com) or leave a comment on any article, you may provide:

  • Your name (or nickname)
  • Your email address
  • The content of your message or comment

We use this information only to respond to your inquiry or publish your comment (if approved). We do not sell or share your email address with third parties.

B. Automatically Collected Information (Log Data)

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit IlmCodex. This includes:

  • Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Pages you visit and time spent on each page
  • Date and time of your visit
  • Referring website (if you clicked a link from another site)

This data helps us understand how visitors use our website, which fast food recipes are most popular, and how to improve our content. It does not personally identify you.

C. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies – small text files stored on your device – to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies help us:

  • Remember your preferences (e.g., dark mode or language)
  • Analyze website traffic using Google Analytics (or similar service)
  • Serve relevant ads if we partner with ad networks like Google AdSense in the future

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. However, some features of IlmCodex may not function properly without cookies.

For more information about cookies and how to manage them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected for the following legitimate purposes:

  • To provide and maintain our website – ensuring articles, recipes, and reviews load correctly.
  • To improve user experience – analyzing which fast food topics (burgers, pizza, fried chicken, etc.) interest you most.
  • To respond to your inquiries – replying to emails or comments.
  • To display personalized or non-personalized advertisements – when we integrate Google AdSense or other ad networks (with your consent where required).
  • To prevent fraud and enhance security – detecting malicious activity or spam comments.
  • To comply with legal obligations – such as responding to lawful requests from authorities.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Services and Links

IlmCodex may contain links to external websites, including fast food restaurant chains (e.g., McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut), recipe video platforms (YouTube), or affiliate product links (e.g., kitchen tools on Amazon). This Privacy Policy applies only to IlmCodex. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites.

We may also use the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit from our links.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely (so we can automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue).
  • Contact emails: We keep email correspondence for up to 12 months to provide ongoing support.
  • Analytics data: Google Analytics retains data for 26 months, after which it is automatically deleted.

You can request deletion of your personal data at any time (see Section 8 below).

6. Children's Privacy

For users under 18, please obtain parental consent before using our website.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Using HTTPS encryption (SSL certificate) for all data transmitted between your browser and our server.
  • Regularly updating our website software and plugins to patch security vulnerabilities.
  • Limiting access to personal data (only the website administrator can view emails and comments).
  • Using strong passwords and two-factor authentication where possible.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use IlmCodex at your own risk.
