Privacy policy

Privacy Policy

CookScale is built to need as little of your information as possible. There are no accounts, no sign-up, and every tool runs entirely in your browser — what you type into a converter never leaves your device.

What we collect

Almost nothing. We do not ask for your name, email address or any other personal information to use the site, and we do not run user accounts. The numbers you enter into the converters — cups, grams, servings — are processed in your browser by JavaScript and are never sent to our servers.

If you email us at hello@cookscale.com, we receive whatever you choose to put in that email — usually your email address and your message. We use it only to reply to you, and we never publish it or share it with anyone else.

Analytics and cookies

CookScale does not currently run Google Analytics or any other analytics service, and the site itself does not set cookies. If we add analytics in future, this policy will be updated first, and the analytics will be configured to respect “Do Not Track” where the service supports it. See the Cookie Policy for the full detail.

Hosting and logs

CookScale is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like every web host, Cloudflare may log technical information needed to serve the site securely — such as IP addresses and requested pages — as part of its standard security and performance operations. We do not receive or use those logs to identify individual visitors, and we do not combine them with any other data. Cloudflare's own privacy policy governs its handling of that data.

Third parties and links

CookScale does not sell, rent or share personal information with any third party, because there is nothing to share. Pages on this site may link to external sources — for example, the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart or USDA FoodData Central — and those sites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.

Children

CookScale is a general-audience cooking reference. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we do not direct any part of the site at children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the “last updated” date above will change with it, and material changes will be noted on the homepage for 30 days. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
