Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Who Operates This Site

This site, ratorari.eu, is operated as an informational publication. The site covers traditional European cooking techniques and German culinary heritage. Contact details are available on the About page.

2. What Information This Site Collects

This is a static informational website. It does not require user registration, does not process purchases and does not run a user database.

2.1 Server Logs

When you visit this site, the web server may automatically record certain information in server access logs, including your IP address, the pages requested, browser type, referring URL and the date and time of your visit. This information is used solely for the operation and security of the server and is not linked to any personal profile.

2.2 Contact Form

The contact form on the About page performs a frontend simulation only. Form submissions are not transmitted to any server or stored in any database. The form is provided as a visual contact interface; no personal data entered into it leaves your browser.

2.3 Google Fonts

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). When this resource is loaded, your browser sends a request to Google's servers, which may record your IP address. Google's privacy policy applies to this interaction: policies.google.com/privacy.

3. Cookies

This site uses one functional cookie-equivalent through the browser's localStorage API:

• ratorari_cookie_choice — stores your Accept or Reject response to the cookie consent banner on the homepage. This value is stored only in your browser's local storage and is not transmitted to any server. It contains no personal information.

This site does not set any analytics cookies, advertising cookies or tracking cookies.

You can clear this stored value at any time by clearing your browser's site data for ratorari.eu.

4. Third-Party Content

This site uses images hosted on Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org). When these images are loaded, your browser makes requests to the Wikimedia Foundation's servers. The Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy applies: Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy.

Footer links point to external sites including brotinstitut.de, bzfe.de and slow-food.de. Clicking these links takes you away from this site; this site has no control over or responsibility for the content or practices of those sites.

5. Data Retention

Server access logs, if retained, are kept for the period required by the hosting provider's standard data retention practice. No personal data entered through forms on this site is stored beyond the current browser session.

6. Your Rights

Under applicable data protection law, you may have rights including the right to access, rectify or erase personal data held about you, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing. Since this site does not collect identifiable personal data beyond server logs, the practical scope of these rights as applied to this site is limited. To submit a data-related request, use the contact information on the About page.

7. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
