Analytics

Sharpe’s Kitchen uses Google Analytics and other tracking pixels to collect demographic and advertising information. None of this information is personally identifiable – it is completely anonymous. Sharpe’s Kitchen may share this information with third parties, primarily for sponsorship purposes.

If you would like to opt-out of providing information to Google Analytics, please use the Google Analytics Opt-Out Tool.

Email

Email addresses collected for comments are never used for anything besides comment notification and occasionally for private responses to comments by site administrators. These email addresses will not be sold or distributed to third parties, except for the winners of contests and giveaways, or if a post calls out a specific exclusion to this policy.

Email addresses collected for email subscriptions are never used for anything besides sending post notification emails. These email addresses will not be sold to third parties or distributed to any third parties except to MailChimp. We use MailChimp as our marketing automation platform, and any information transferred to MailChimp will be processed in accordance with their Privacy Policy and Terms.

Affiliate Disclaimer

Here at Sharpe’s Kitchen, we take honesty and integrity very seriously. Reader trust is everything to us, and we’d never try to deceive our readers by endorsing products we wouldn’t buy ourselves, publishing paid advertisements disguised as normal blog posts, or engaging in any other deceptive practices.

That said, the website needs money to keep running, so, as you can see, we do run ads on this blog. We also participate in affiliate programs. This means that we sometimes get paid a commission (at no extra cost to you) if you purchase a product through a link you clicked on Sharpe’s Kitchen.
