Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Brown Bear's Feast ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website at brownbearbraughing.co.uk. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your data is handled.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information through standard web technologies. This includes:

• IP address and browser type
• Pages viewed and time spent on the site
• Referring URLs and device information
• Standard server log data

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through contact forms — and even then, it is not stored in a database.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To understand how visitors interact with our content
• To improve website performance and user experience
• To analyse traffic patterns and popular recipes
• To ensure the website functions correctly

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making. No personal data is sold, rented, or shared for commercial purposes beyond what is necessary for website operation.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. These include:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly
• Performance cookies: Used by analytics services to measure site usage
• Functional cookies: Remember your preferences (e.g., language)

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the website.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to help us understand website traffic and deliver content. These include:

• Google Analytics: To analyse site traffic anonymously and improve content
• Advertising networks: Such as Google AdSense, which may use cookies to serve interest-based ads

These third parties have their own privacy policies and are responsible for their own data practices. We do not control how they collect or use your data. We recommend reviewing their policies:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Google Ads Privacy Policy

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including using secure servers and encrypted connections (HTTPS). However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted via our website.

Your Rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you have the following rights:

• The right to be informed about how your data is used
• The right to access any personal data we hold about you
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to object to processing
• The right to withdraw consent (where applicable)

Since we do not store personal data in a database, most requests will relate to cookies or server logs, which are automatically deleted after a limited period. To exercise your rights, please contact us at [email protected].

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The most current version will always be posted on this page with the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
