This page explains what information Earth to Lorraine collects when you visit or use this site, why we collect it, and what choices you have. We've tried to write it in plain language rather than dense legal boilerplate.
Information we collect
Newsletter signup. If you sign up for our weekly newsletter, we collect the email address you provide. This is sent to and stored by MailerLite, the third-party email service we use to manage the mailing list and send emails. We don't collect your name, location, or any other personal details through this form — just the email address you choose to give us.
Site usage. Like most websites, our web host and any advertising or analytics services we use (see below) may automatically log basic technical information — such as your browser type, general location (city/region level, not precise), and which pages you visit — through standard server logs and cookies.
How we use your information
- To send you the weekly newsletter you signed up for.
- To understand, in a general way, which pages and recipes people find useful, so we know what to write more of.
- To display advertising that helps support the cost of running this site (see "Advertising" below).
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Third-party services we use
This site relies on a few outside services to function, each with their own privacy practices:
- MailerLite — manages our newsletter signups and sends emails. See MailerLite's privacy policy.
- Google Fonts — loads the typefaces used on this site from Google's servers.
- Google AdSense — may display advertising on this site. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This site may use them (directly or through the third-party services above) to remember basic preferences and to support advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser's settings at any time; blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the site work, but the site will still be readable without them.
Advertising
This site may show ads served through Google AdSense to help cover hosting and ingredient costs. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or through industry opt-out tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time as the site changes — for example, if we add new features or third-party services. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
