Privacy Policy

sevgikayhan.com is a recipe site where Sevgi Kayhan shares her recipes. We respect your privacy: you don’t need an account, and you never have to give us your name or email address to use the site.

In short

  • No accounts, comments, mailing list or ads.
  • Visit statistics are collected without cookies.
  • Questions asked to the AI assistant are kept for 12 months without your IP address and with personal details removed.
  • Your conversation with the assistant stays only in your own browser and is deleted when you close the tab.

While you browse

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. To deliver the pages to you, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and browser information, as with any website. We do not keep these technical logs.

Visit statistics are collected with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It does not use cookies and does not track you across sites; it only shows aggregate figures such as how many times a page was viewed.

Your preferences on recipe pages

The ingredients and steps you tick on a recipe page, and the servings and measurement system you choose, are stored only in your own browser so they are remembered next time. They are never sent to us. See the Cookie Policy for details.

AI assistant (Sevgi’s Kitchen Assistant)

The assistant is an AI that answers your questions based on Sevgi Kayhan’s recipes. Its answers are generated by AI and can be wrong; for allergies and health questions please use your own judgement and consult a professional when needed.

  • Recorded: question and answer text, page, language, date.
  • Not recorded: IP address, cookies, browser or device information, name.
  • Email addresses, phone numbers and long numbers are removed before recording. Please do not include personal information in your question.
  • Retention: 12 months, then deleted automatically.
  • Abuse prevention: For the per-person question limit, your IP address is turned into a one-way code that changes every day and cannot be reversed; the code is deleted within 48 hours.
  • Bot protection: When you open the assistant, Cloudflare Turnstile evaluates technical signals about your browser and device to confirm the request comes from a person.
  • Conversation history: Kept only in your browser’s open tab; deleted when you close the tab or press “New chat”.

Questions and records may be processed on Cloudflare servers outside Turkey (including the USA). See the Personal Data Protection Notice for details.

Recipe videos are not loaded until you press “Watch the video”. When you do, the video opens in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube’s own privacy policy applies from then on. Instagram links take you to Instagram.

Children

The site does not knowingly collect personal data from children. Please do not type personal information into the assistant.
