The Protein Chef (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies on our website, theproteinchef.co (the “Site”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we and the third parties we partner with use them, your choices, and where to learn more. It supplements the information in our Privacy Policy. This policy applies to our website; our mobile app does not use advertising cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed in your browser by a website you visit. They let the Site (or a third party) recognize your browser and make your next visit easier and the Site more useful. There are two kinds: persistent cookies, which remember your information and settings for future visits, and session cookies, which identify a single visit and are erased when you close your browser. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and browser local storage.

How we use cookies

When you use the Site, we and our partners may place cookies in your browser to keep the Site working, remember your preferences, measure performance, and support advertising. We use both session and persistent cookies. 

The types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary. Essential cookies that let you move around the Site and use its features, and that remember your cookie-consent choices. The Site can’t function properly without them, so they can’t be switched off.

Analytics and performance. These help us understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages and recipes are popular, so we can improve it. We use Google Analytics, applied in line with your consent choices through Google Consent Mode.

Advertising and targeting. The Site is free to use and supported by advertising, managed by Mediavine. Mediavine works with many third-party advertising partners, including Google, Amazon, PubMatic, OpenX, Magnite, Criteo, and others, which may use cookies, web beacons, and identifiers to deliver, personalize, and measure ads, including across other sites you visit. For the current list of these partners, the data they collect, and their privacy policies, see the Mediavine Partners list at https://www.mediavine.com/ad-partners/.

Functional and social. These remember your choices and enable embedded content. We’re glad when you share our content, but please note that social networks such as Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and X (Twitter) may set their own cookies when you interact with them. We don’t control these, so check those services’ policies to manage them.

Your choices regarding cookies

– Consent banner. Our Consent Management Platform (CMP) lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies and change your preferences at any time. Visitors in the EU, UK, and other applicable regions are shown consent options before non-essential cookies are set.

– Browser controls. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies in their settings. Limiting cookies may diminish your experience, and some features may not work.

– Interest-based ad opt-outs. You can opt out of interest-based advertising at YourAdChoices (http://optout.aboutads.info), the Network Advertising Initiative (https://thenai.org/opt-out/), and, in Europe, Your Online Choices (https://www.youronlinechoices.eu).

– Global Privacy Control. Where required, we honor GPC browser signals.

Your privacy rights 

EU/UK visitors: non-essential cookies are set based on your consent via our banner. California residents: you may opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising using the consent tool or a Global Privacy Control signal.

For more on how we handle personal information, see our Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies or applicable laws change. We’ll revise the “Last updated” date above.
