Who operates this site
Pantry Start is an independently operated recipe website. The site owner controls the information described in this policy. For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@pantrystart.com.
Information kept on your device
The recipe finder stores your pantry selection in your browser so it can be restored on a later visit. It also remembers your analytics choice for six months. These are local preferences, not Pantry Start accounts. Filter selections can appear in URLs you create or share.
Cloudflare hosting
Cloudflare delivers and protects this website. When your browser requests a page, Cloudflare processes information such as your IP address, request URL, browser and device details, and security signals to provide the site, prevent abuse, and diagnose service problems. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy .
Optional Google Analytics
If you accept analytics, Pantry Start loads Google Analytics 4 to count page views and understand which recipe pages are useful. It may process the page path and title, referrer, browser and device characteristics, an analytics identifier, and approximate location derived from your IP address. Pantry Start's own page-view events omit URL query parameters. Google Analytics can also measure browser-history changes, so filter selections shown in the URL may be processed after you accept analytics.
Advertising storage, ad personalization, Google Signals, and Google Ads features are disabled. Google Analytics is not loaded—and no analytics request is sent—before you accept. Learn how Google uses information from partner sites .
Storage used by Pantry Start
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
pantry-start:pantry:v1 | Remembers ingredients selected in the recipe finder. | Until removed in your browser |

Your choices and rights
You can accept or decline analytics when prompted and change that choice at any time through the Analytics choices link in the footer. Declining or withdrawing consent does not affect the recipe finder. Withdrawing consent removes accessible Google Analytics cookies and stops future analytics collection on this browser.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of personal information. Contact Pantry Start using the address above. You may also have the right to complain to your local privacy regulator.
Retention and service providers
Pantry Start uses Cloudflare for hosting and security and Google as the optional analytics provider. When analytics is enabled, Pantry Start keeps Google Analytics user- and event-level data for two months; aggregated reports may remain available longer. These providers may process information in countries other than your own under their applicable safeguards.
Children, external links, and changes
This general-audience site is not directed to children under 13, and Pantry Start does not knowingly collect information directly from children. Recipe source links lead to independent websites with their own privacy practices. This policy may be updated as the site changes; the date above will show the latest revision.
