Information We Collect
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience so you don’t need to fill in your details again for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page, we use a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not store personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When logging in, we set up cookies to store your login information and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will be retained for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website. These cookies allow Google to display relevant ads to our visitors. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our site by visiting: How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often you visit the site, which pages you visit, and what other sites you used prior to visiting ours. We use this information to improve our website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, not your name or other identifying information. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, and articles from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited those websites directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
Email Communications
If you subscribe to our newsletter or email list, we collect your email address and may use it to send you recipes, updates, and promotional content related to My Mana Bites and Flora & Mana. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our site, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To make a request, contact us at: dishes@mymanabites.com
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
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 date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
