Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

This policy explains what information Gastrosex.com ("we") collects, how we use it, and your choices. If you have a question, use our contact form.

Information you give us

When you submit a form (contact, newsletter, date-night plan request, partner application, contest entry, job application, support pledge or "email me this menu"), we receive the information you enter, such as your name, email address and message. Form submissions are delivered to our inbox by the form-processing service FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), which processes them on our behalf. We use this information only to respond to you and provide what you asked for. With your consent, date-night plan requests may be shared with chefs or cooking schools so they can quote; we never sell your information.

Information stored on your device

Saved recipes, saved menus, your anniversary countdown, theme choice and cookie preference are stored in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device and you can delete them by clearing your browser data.

Advertising and cookies

We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent through a Google-certified consent message before personalized ads are shown.

Embedded videos

Videos are embedded from YouTube using its privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) and load only when you press play. YouTube's own privacy policy applies once a video loads.

Fonts and hosting

Our typefaces are served by Google Fonts, which receives your IP address and browser details when a page loads; see Google's privacy policy. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, which may log technical information such as IP addresses for security.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to object to its use. Contact us and we'll respond within 30 days. We do not sell personal information.

Children

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. Contests are open only to adults aged 18 or older.

Changes

We'll update this page if our practices change and revise the date above.
