Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how cutsquash.co (“we”, “us”, “the site”) handles information when you visit this restored food, photography, and creative-coding archive.

Who we are

cutsquash.co publishes restored blog articles about recipes, photography, and Processing projects. We are not a bricks-and-mortar business and do not list a public street address on this site. Contact: haithemhamtinee@gmail.com.

Information we collect

  • Technical data your browser sends automatically (IP address, user agent, referrer, pages viewed) when our host or analytics tools process requests.
  • Consent choice stored locally in your browser when you Accept or Decline cookies (see the cookie policies).
  • Messages you choose to send to haithemhamtinee@gmail.com.

We do not require an account to read articles.

Advertising cookies, ad personalisation, and Google AdSense

This site may display advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party vendors. Those vendors may use advertising cookies and similar technologies to:

  • serve and measure ads;
  • limit how often you see an ad;
  • support ad personalisation based on inferred interests or prior visits, where permitted by your settings and applicable law.

Google and other ad partners may collect or receive identifiers, cookie data, and approximate location or device information according to their own policies. You can learn more in Google’s advertising and privacy documentation and manage ad settings via Google’s ad settings tools where available.

If you decline non-essential cookies via our banner, we treat that as a preference against non-essential advertising cookies on this site to the extent we control them. Third-party vendors may still receive limited technical requests when pages load; see our cookie policies for details.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential cookies or local storage for remembering your consent choice. Optional advertising cookies are described in the Cookie Policy (EU / GDPR) and Cookie Policy (USA / CCPA).

Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on: consent for non-essential advertising cookies and personalisation; legitimate interests for securing and operating the static site; and contract/legitimate interest for responding to emails you send us.

Sharing

We may share data with hosting providers, email providers, and advertising/measurement vendors (including Google) as needed to run the site. We do not sell postal mailing lists of readers because we do not operate one.

Retention

Server logs are kept according to our host’s defaults. Consent preferences remain in your browser until you clear storage. Emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data, to object, and to withdraw consent. Contact haithemhamtinee@gmail.com. California residents: see the USA cookie policy for CCPA-oriented disclosures.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region).

Changes

We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date will change when we do.
