Welcome to StephanieCooksForACrowd.com! Your privacy matters to me, and I want to be straightforward with you about what information this site collects, how it’s used, and who it’s shared with. This is a family food and lifestyle blog — I’m not in the business of selling your data or doing anything sneaky with it. This policy just explains how things work.
Who We Are
This website is StephanieCooksForACrowd.com, owned and operated by Stephanie Longstreth of Temple Terrace, Florida. You can reach me at stephanie@stephaniecooksforacrowd.com.
Information I Collect
Contact Form If you use the contact form on this site, I collect your name and email address so I can respond to you. That information is not added to any mailing list without your separate consent.
Email List (MailerLite) If you choose to subscribe to my email list, your name and email address are collected and stored through MailerLite, my email marketing provider. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. MailerLite’s privacy policy is available at mailerlite.com/privacy-policy.
Comments If you leave a comment on the site, I collect the information shown in the comment form — your name, email address, and any website you provide — along with your IP address and browser information to help with spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to display a profile picture if you use one. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible publicly alongside your comment.
Media / Images If you upload images to this site, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download images from this site and extract any location data included in them.
Cookies This site uses cookies in the following ways:
- If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last one year.
- If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- If you log in, cookies will save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen options cookies last one year. “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks.
- If you edit or publish a post, a one-day cookie saves the post ID you edited. It contains no personal data.
Embedded Content Posts on this site include embedded content such as YouTube videos. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you have visited those websites directly. They may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with that content — including if you have an account and are logged in to those platforms. Please refer to YouTube’s and Google’s privacy policies for more information.

How Long I Retain Your Data
