Advertising
This Site is affiliated with CMI Marketing, Inc., doing business as Raptive, for the purposes of placing advertising on the Site.
Raptive will collect and use certain data for advertising purposes.

Raptive Advertising Privacy Statement
Raptive’s technology may use cookies, tracking pixels, and similar technologies to deliver personalized advertising and measure performance. You can learn how to opt out of personalized ads in Raptive’s statement linked above.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, those cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content — including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We do not sell or share your personal information for money. However, as required by California law, users may opt out of the “sale or sharing” of their data as described in the Raptive Advertising Privacy Statement.
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 instead of holding them for moderation.
For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data we’re required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Please contact [email protected] for such requests.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Google Analytics Usage
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website.
Google Analytics collects data such as IP addresses, browser types, device information, and pages visited. This data helps us improve site performance and user experience. It does not personally identify you.
For more information, please review Google’s Privacy Policy.
Affiliate Disclosure
Soul Food Cooking may participate in affiliate marketing programs. These programs allow us to earn small commissions on qualifying purchases made through links on our site, at no additional cost to you.
Each affiliate partner has its own privacy policy governing data collection and usage.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. You can also opt out of targeted advertising by following the instructions provided in the Raptive Privacy Statement.
Updates to This Policy
This Privacy Policy is reviewed and updated as necessary to remain compliant with privacy laws and ad partner requirements. The “last modified” date will always reflect the latest version.
