Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 8, 2026.
Desert Dishes (“we”, “us”, or “our”) runs desertdishes.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
We collect very little information, and only in the ways described below:
- Information you give us directly. If you send us a message through the Contact page, we receive what you type into the form — typically your name, email address, and message. We use it only to read and reply to your message.
- Information collected automatically. Our hosting and analytics tools may record basic technical information when you visit, such as the pages you view and your device and browser type. This is used in aggregate and does not identify you personally.
- Information from cookies. Cookies are small files stored on your device, used as described in the Cookies section below.
We do not ask for payment information, and we do not sell your personal information.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the website, to reply to messages sent through the Contact page, and to detect and prevent misuse of the site.
Cookies
This site uses cookies for basic functions, such as remembering your preferences and measuring traffic. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Analytics
We plan to use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how readers use the site — for example, which recipes are most visited. Google Analytics is planned, not yet connected. No analytics data is being collected through GA4 at the time this policy is written.
Advertising
Desert Dishes is an ad-supported website. We may display advertisements, and advertising partners may use cookies to show ads that are relevant to you. Advertising partners do not receive your name or email address from us. This section will be updated with partner names once advertising is live.
Affiliate Links
Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies to track a purchase made through our links. Our full practices are described on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
Data You Share Through the Contact Form
When you use the Contact page, the information you submit is sent to the Desert Dishes Team so we can read and reply to your message. We keep messages only as long as needed to handle your request. Do not include sensitive information — such as passwords or payment details — in a contact message.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for readers aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe your child has sent us personal information, contact us through the Contact page and we will delete it.
Your Choices
You may use the site without contacting us; you may control cookies through your browser settings; and you may ask us to delete a message you sent by contacting us again and identifying it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when analytics or advertising is added. When we make a material change, we will update the policy on this page. The “last updated” date will be added at publication and updated with each change.
Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through the Contact page.
