Google Remarketing: Google uses these cookies to show relevant ads to users who have previously visited our website as they browse other websites. You can opt out from Google’s remarketing program by changing your Google Ad Settings.
Facebook: Cookies and pixels are used to understand and deliver ads and make them more relevant to you. We may also use a cookie to learn whether someone who saw an ad on Facebook later visited our website.
Affiliate Marketing: Cooking With Ria 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.
Cooking With Ria participates 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 program, Cooking With Ria will post customized links, provided by Amazon to track the referrals to their website. This program utilizes cookies to track visits for the purpose of assigning commissions on these sales.
Newsletters: On the website, you may subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. 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 the website to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties.
At the bottom of every newsletter will be an easy way to opt out. I hate SPAM as much as you and have no intention of filling up e-mail boxes with unwanted messages.
