Last updated: September 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Finesse Pastries (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects when you visit finessepastries.com, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using this site you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you email us, submit a recipe question, apply for a job, or ask about advertising, we receive whatever you choose to include, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. We keep those messages so we can reply and keep a record of the conversation.

Information collected automatically. When you visit, our hosting provider, analytics tools, and advertising partners automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, approximate location (city or region), browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, the pages you view, how long you stay, and the links you click. This data is collected through cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies described below.

Information we do not collect. We do not ask for and do not knowingly collect payment details, government identifiers, or precise location data.

How we use information

To operate, secure, and improve the site, and to understand which recipes readers find useful.
To reply to your messages and requests.
To display advertising, including personalized advertising where you have consented or where permitted by law, and to measure how ads perform.
To detect fraud, abuse, and technical problems.
To comply with legal obligations.

Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser. We and our partners use the following kinds of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies that make the site work, such as remembering your consent choices.
Analytics cookies that tell us how the site is used so we can improve it.
Advertising cookies that allow ad partners to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure results, and, where permitted, tailor ads to your interests based on your visits to this and other websites.

You can control cookies through the consent banner shown on this site and through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.

Advertising and third-party vendors

This site is monetized through display advertising. We work with Ezoic, an advertising technology platform, which in turn works with Google and other advertising partners to serve ads on the site.

Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info or, in the EU, at www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Ezoic and its partners. Ezoic and the advertising partners it works with may collect and use data as described in the disclosures embedded at the bottom of this page, which list the specific partners and cookies in use on this site. That list is updated automatically by Ezoic. Ezoic’s own privacy policy is available at ezoic.com/privacy-policy.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with: service providers that host the site, provide analytics, or deliver email on our behalf; advertising partners as described above; and authorities or other parties when required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights and safety of our readers or ourselves. Some of this sharing for targeted advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain state privacy laws, and you can opt out as described under Your choices.

Your choices and rights

Residents of California and other U.S. states. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request that we delete it, to correct it, to opt out of its sale or sharing for targeted advertising, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To make a request, email hello@finessepastries.com with the subject line “Privacy request”. We will verify your request and respond within the time required by law.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of your consent (for advertising and analytics cookies), our legitimate interests (site security and basic operation), or legal obligation. You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, to withdraw consent at any time, and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Browser signals. We honor Global Privacy Control signals where required by law through our consent management platform.

Data retention

We keep email correspondence for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterward. Analytics and advertising data is retained by the respective provider according to its own policies, typically between 30 days and 26 months. You can ask us to delete information we hold about you at any time.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS, and we use reputable hosting and security providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

International visitors

The site is operated from the United States. If you visit from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. or other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
