My kitchen, saved on your device

Saving is optional. My kitchen uses local storage on this device. Its cookware selections, household choices and notes are not sent to our server or included in analytics. Clearing browser storage removes them. Printing it or downloading a copy happens only when you ask.

Sharing a gap-finder result is also your choice. “Copy link to this result” puts your answers in the link: the pans you own, the cooking you picked, how many you cook for, your cooktop, and any oven, dishwasher, storage, weight or extra-portion choice. Whoever opens that link sends those answers to our web server with the page request, as part of the page address. Notes and pan measurements from My kitchen never go in the link.

Site measurement and cookie choices

We use Plausible and Google Analytics to understand which pages and tools are useful. Measurement includes page visits and actions such as using a tool or following a product link.

Tool events use fixed action categories. They do not include household details, cookware inventories, measurements, notes or contact messages.

Plausible counts every visit without cookies. It may receive browser and device information and a referring page.

Google Analytics is run by Google, which receives the page address, the actions we measure on this site and browser and device information, and sets cookies that tell repeat visits apart. Its advertising features are off.

In the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and whenever we cannot tell which country a visit comes from, Google Analytics loads only after you choose Accept on the bar at the bottom of the page. Decline loads nothing from Google. Your choice is kept in this browser for six months, then the bar asks again.

Elsewhere, Google Analytics loads with each page unless you choose Decline. Cloudflare, which delivers our pages, tells your browser which country the visit comes from.

Wherever you are, Cookie choices at the bottom of any page, or the button below, changes your choice. Decline stops Google Analytics on this site in this browser and deletes its analytics cookies. If analytics was running, the page reloads to apply your choice. Decline holds on every page; outside the countries above it is kept until you change it.

Both services also receive your IP address with each request. We send them the page address without its query string or fragment; Plausible also receives the page you came from, and Google does not.

Cookie choices

Cookies, and visitors in the EEA and the UK

This site sets one cookie of its own, and only when you answer the cookie bar or use Cookie choices: it keeps that choice, as described above. The gap finder and My kitchen keep what you enter in your own browser, and clearing this site’s storage removes it. Nothing you enter leaves the device unless you copy a gap-finder result link and share it, as described above.

Google Analytics sets its own cookies on this site, to tell repeat visits apart, only where it loads: after Accept in the countries named above, and elsewhere unless you choose Decline. Its advertising storage and personalisation stay off everywhere. Plausible sets no cookies at all and does not follow you between sites.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we see the measurement above only as totals. We hold no account, no profile and nothing that identifies you, so unless you have sent us a report there is no profile to export, correct or delete. Use the contact form for any privacy question and choose “Privacy or rights request”.

Third parties that can receive request data when you use this site: Google Analytics and Plausible as described above, Amazon when a product photograph loads or you follow a retailer link, Cloudflare and Discord when you send a report through the contact form, and the maker whose page you open from a source link. If a display advertising network is added later, this page will name it and describe its consent mechanism before the first advertisement appears.

Retailer links

Retailer links on this site are affiliate links: they carry a tracking code so the retailer can attribute the referral and pay us a commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. It costs you nothing extra and it changes no suggestion on this site.

Amazon product photographs load directly from Amazon and link back to that product’s own Amazon page, as the program requires. Amazon receives your IP address and normal browser information when a photograph loads.

Contact messages

The contact form sends your report to our contact inbox at Cloudflare: the reason you choose, your name if you give one, your reply address, the summary, the details and any page or source link you add. Cloudflare runs an automatic security check that never asks you to solve anything, and it sees your IP address and browser information while doing so. To stop repeat sending, we keep a scrambled form of your IP address and reply address for two hours, never the addresses themselves.

We keep each report for 12 months, then it is deleted automatically, and a copy goes to a private Discord channel our team reads. We use your reply address only to answer you, never for marketing. To see or delete a report you sent, ask through the same form and we will delete both copies.

Do not include passwords, payment details, order numbers or other sensitive personal information in a report.

External sites and images

Following a manufacturer or retailer link opens a separate site with its own privacy rules. Where available, product images served by Amazon require a request to Amazon when displayed.
