Privacy Policy

Who We Are

MocktailRecipes.blog ("we," "us," or "our") is a veteran-owned website operated by Larry Leo. Our website address is https://mocktailrecipes.blog. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect, use, and share information.

Information We Collect

When you visit our site, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• IP address (anonymized where possible)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URLs and pages visited
• Time spent on pages
• Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)

The email newsletter is not currently active, and the site does not collect newsletter subscriptions. The contact form opens a draft in your own email application; it does not transmit the form fields to MocktailRecipes.blog. We do not request financial data, health records, government IDs, or other sensitive information through the site.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality
• Preference storage: The cookie banner stores your optional-cookie choice in your browser so the banner can respect it on later visits
• Analytics: May be used if a configured analytics service is active, subject to that service’s own settings and notice
• Advertising: No Google AdSense advertising script is currently loaded by this site

You can choose whether to allow optional analytics and advertising cookies through the consent banner shown on your first visit. You can change that choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the site footer. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when a cookie is being sent. Note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on our site.

Google AdSense

MocktailRecipes.blog does not currently load Google AdSense or display AdSense ads. If advertising is enabled in the future, this policy and the consent controls will be updated before that change. You can review or adjust personalized-ad preferences in Google's Ads Settings and review industry opt-out options at the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Amazon Associates Disclosure

MocktailRecipes.blog is a participant 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 linking to Amazon.com. When you click on Amazon product links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support our site and allows us to continue creating free content.

Analytics

The site may use a configured analytics service to understand aggregate page usage. Analytics configuration can change, so this page does not make claims about a provider’s legal compliance or data practices beyond the controls currently configured on the site.

Email Newsletter

The email newsletter is not currently active. There is no newsletter signup form and no subscriber list maintained by MocktailRecipes.blog at this time. If a newsletter is added, this policy will be updated before collection begins.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and improve our website content
• To remember a cookie-consent preference in the browser
• To analyze aggregate site usage when an analytics service is configured
• To comply with legal obligations

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. The site does not currently load Google AdSense. Any configured analytics provider processes information according to its own service terms and settings. Information may also be disclosed if required by law or to protect site rights.

Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• Right to access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data
• Right to restrict processing: Request limitation of how we use your data
• Right to data portability: Receive your data in a structured format
• Right to object: Object to processing of your personal data
• Right to opt out of sale (CCPA): We do not sell personal information

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

Data Retention

The cookie preference is stored in your browser until you change it or clear browser data. If analytics is configured, its retention is governed by that service’s configuration. No newsletter subscriber data is currently retained because the newsletter is inactive.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our site uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmission.

Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to third-party websites (including Amazon.com). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
