Cookies and your phone
This website does not set analytics or advertising cookies. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, may set a cookie that is needed to deliver the pages securely. We do not use that for marketing.
Things you save on the site, like saved recipes, ticked-off ingredients and where you are in cook mode, are kept in your own browser on your phone or computer. They are never sent to us.
Visit statistics
To see which pages help people and which parts of the site do not work, we count how the website is used. This is done by our own small script on this website, not by an advertising or tracking company. It does not use cookies.
When you visit, your browser sends us:
- The pages you open on this site, in order, how long each one is on screen and how far down you scroll
- The website you came from (for example Google or Facebook) and any campaign name in the link
- The type of device (phone, tablet or computer)
- Rough location worked out by Cloudflare from your connection: the country, and the town or city if you are in the UK
- Which links you use, for example a phone, WhatsApp or Facebook link, or a link to another website such as Google Maps
- When a page is missing
To join up the pages of one visit, the script makes a random number and keeps it in your browser only for that visit (it is gone when you close the tab or after 30 minutes of nothing happening). We do not store your IP address, your browser details or anything that identifies you, and we cannot see what you do on other websites before or after you visit.
Each night the visit records are added up into daily totals, such as visits per page and the most common last page, and the individual records are deleted. They are never kept for more than about two days. The daily totals are kept for 13 months and then deleted automatically. Only Madina Store sees them. They are stored with Cloudflare, which hosts the site, and are used only to improve this website.
This is allowed under UK law without asking first, as long as we tell you and you can easily say no (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, statistical purposes exception, as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025). Our reason for using the data is our legitimate interest in running a website that works for the people using it.
You can say no. Press the button below to stop this browser sending visit statistics. We also do not collect them if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal. Opting out does not change how the site works.
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookie-free, to count visits and see which pages are read. It does not identify you or track you across other websites.
