Last updated: May 29, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how EcoBiteLife (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares and safeguards information when you visit EcoBiteLife (the “Website”). We have written it in plain English so that any reader can understand it without legal training.

By continuing to use the Website, you confirm that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Website.

EcoBiteLife is an editorial publication on sustainable food habits, low-waste kitchen routines, seasonal eating, ethical food awareness and family food living. The Website is operated by the EcoBiteLife editorial team.

For any privacy-related question or request, please use our contact page.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum information needed to operate the Website responsibly. This includes:

  • Information you give us voluntarily. When you submit our contact form, or otherwise interact with the Website, you may share your name, email address and the content of your message.
  • Automatically collected information. We may receive basic technical information about your visit, such as approximate location at country level, browser type, device type, the pages you view and the referring website.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. Small text files are stored in your browser to keep the site functional (for example, remembering display preferences) and to help us understand aggregate usage. See section 4 below.

We use the information described above to:

  • Operate, maintain and improve the Website and its editorial content.
  • Respond to enquiries, requests and corrections you send us.
  • Detect, prevent and address technical or security issues.
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We never sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies. Cookies fall into the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary cookies, required for the Website to function (for example, content delivery and security).
  • Analytics cookies, help us understand how visitors discover and use our content, in aggregate.
  • Advertising cookies, may be set by our advertising partners (see section 5) to support relevant ads.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Some Website features may not work properly without cookies enabled.

5. Third-Party Services and Advertising Partners

We rely on a small number of third-party services to operate the Website and, where applicable, display advertising. Each of these providers has its own privacy practices.

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this Website. Google is a third-party vendor and, as such, uses cookies to serve ads here. Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Website and other sites on the internet. These cookies are set by Google, not by us, and we do not control what they collect.

Third-party vendors and ad networks other than Google may also serve ads on this Website and may likewise use cookies. We do not have access to or control over cookies set by third-party advertisers, and this Policy does not cover their practices. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information.

6. Advertising Personalization Controls

You can review and adjust how personalised advertising works for you at any time using Google’s official privacy controls. These controls apply across Google services and across third-party sites that show Google-served ads, including this Website. You may also opt out of a wider set of vendors at optout.aboutads.info (Digital Advertising Alliance), optout.networkadvertising.org (Network Advertising Initiative), or youronlinechoices.eu (EU). You can also disable the DART cookie via Google’s ads settings.

  • Google Ads Settings, manage the topics and demographic factors Google uses to personalise the ads you see, and turn personalised advertising on or off entirely:
    https://adssettings.google.com
  • Google My Ad Center, review the ads you have recently seen, mute specific brands or topics, and fine-tune your overall ad experience:
    https://myadcenter.google.com

You may also visit www.aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance, US) or www.youronlinechoices.eu (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance) for additional opt-out tools that cover multiple advertising networks.

Disabling personalised advertising does not stop ads from appearing, they will simply be less tailored to your interests.

7. Your Rights

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR (and UK GDPR) gives you the rights set out below. If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you comparable rights, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to opt out of its sale or sharing.
