Ezoic Services
This website uses the services of Ezoic Inc. (“Ezoic”), including to manage third-party interest-based advertising. Ezoic may employ a variety of technologies on this website, including tools to serve content, display advertisements and enable advertising to visitors of this website, which may utilize first and third-party cookies.
A cookie is a small text file sent to your device by a web server that enables the website to remember information about your browsing activity. First-party cookies are created by the site you are visiting, while third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one you're visiting. Ezoic and our partners may place third-party cookies, tags, beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to monitor interactions with advertisements and optimize ad targeting. Please note that disabling cookies may limit access to certain content and features on the website, and rejecting cookies does not eliminate advertisements but will result in non-personalized advertising. You can find more information about cookies and how to manage them here.
The following information may be collected, used, and stored in a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP address
  • Operating system type and version
  • Device type
  • Language preferences
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in a hashed or encrypted form)
Ezoic and its partners may use this data in combination with information that has been independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements across various platforms and websites. Ezoic’s partners may also gather additional data, such as unique IDs, advertising IDs, geolocation data, usage data, device information, traffic data, referral sources, and interactions between users and websites or advertisements, to create audience segments for targeted advertising across different devices, browsers, and apps. You can find more information about interest-based advertising and how to manage them here.

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Simply Tasty Life (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our site.

What information we collect and why

We collect information in two ways:

Information you provide

When you comment on a post, fill out a contact form, or subscribe to our newsletter, you may give us your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share. We use this information to respond to your messages, deliver our newsletter, and manage comments.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy) to collect basic technical data: your IP address, browser type, device type, pages you visit, and the date and time of access. This helps us understand traffic patterns, improve content, and display ads.

Comments and media uploads

If you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user‑agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized hash of your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you use it; the Gravatar privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.

If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location information from images on the website.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies for site performance, remembering your preferences, measuring our audience, and delivering ads. Our ads are managed by Ezoic, which works with multiple advertising partners including Google. These partners may use cookies and device identifiers to deliver, measure, and (where legally allowed) personalize ads. You can learn more or change your preferences by referring to our Cookie Policy.

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we show you a consent banner via the Ezoic Consent Management Platform (CMP) when you first visit. You can adjust your preferences through that banner; declining non‑essential cookies will reduce tracking and ads will be non‑personalized.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the other website directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. Please review their policies if you have concerns.

Analytics and advertising partners

We use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand site performance and traffic. These services collect aggregated data about visitors and do not directly identify individuals.

Our advertising partners (including Ezoic and Google Ad Manager) may collect and use data as described above. You can opt out of personalized advertising or learn more via the industry‑wide tools and browser settings listed in our cookie policy.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow‑up comments automatically. For email subscribers, we keep your information for as long as you stay subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in each newsletter.

Analytics data is stored for as long as needed to analyze site performance, then aggregated or deleted. Ad cookies have varying durations defined by each provider.

Your rights and choices

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where required by law (e.g., EEA/UK), you may withdraw your consent to cookies at any time via the cookie banner. You can also change preferences in your browser (e.g., clear or block cookies, reset advertising identifiers) and opt out of interest‑based advertising using the tools listed in our cookie policy.

Who we share your data with

We share data with trusted third parties who help us operate the site, run email services, manage ads, or analyze performance. These include our web host, analytics providers, advertising partners (via Ezoic), and newsletter provider (Mailchimp). Each third party has its own data protection practices. We do not sell your personal data.

Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Your continued use of the site means you accept the changes.

If you have any questions or requests regarding your personal data, please email us at [email protected].
