Effective September 2026
The Dispatch
When you join the Dispatch, Cook Curated stores your email address, the signup location on the site, consent status, and subscription status. We use this information to send marketplace finds, partner offers, field notes, and notices about trips or releases. We do not sell email addresses. Every marketing message includes an unsubscribe method.
Inquiries and partnerships
When you contact Cook Curated, we store the information you provide—such as your name, email, organization, website, inquiry type, and message—along with relevant campaign-source information. We use it to review and respond to the inquiry, evaluate a proposed relationship, and maintain an ordinary record of the conversation. Sending an inquiry does not subscribe you to marketing.
Saved objects and the Cook bag
Saved objects and bag contents are stored in your browser on your device and are not attached to an account. When you intentionally continue to Cook checkout, the selected product, variant, and quantity are transmitted to Cook Curated and Shopify to create a secure checkout. Saved objects are not sent with that request.
Analytics and affiliate links
If you allow optional analytics through Privacy choices, the site records ordinary interaction events such as page views, saved objects, additions to the bag, newsletter signup source, and outbound partner clicks. When a visitor arrives through a tagged campaign, Cook Curated may retain campaign source, medium, name, landing page, and referring website so marketing performance can be understood. Affiliate clicks may pass tracking information to a retailer so that Cook Curated can receive credit for a qualifying purchase. Retailers and payment providers apply their own privacy policies after you visit or transact with them.
Cookies and analytics choices
Optional analytics is off until you choose Allow analytics. You can reject it or withdraw your choice using Privacy choices in the footer. We honor Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track by disabling optional analytics. Declining analytics does not prevent shopping, inquiries, or newsletter signup. Essential browser storage remembers your bag, saved products, and privacy preference. Google Analytics may set analytics cookies only after permission. Affiliate retailers may use their own tracking after you follow a clearly labeled partner link.
Service providers and retention
Cook Curated uses Shopify for checkout, Brevo for email delivery, Google Analytics for optional analytics, and hosting and database services provided through OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare. Suppliers receive order details needed for fulfillment. They receive only the information needed to provide their services and apply their own security and privacy terms. We retain inquiry and subscription records while they are needed for the relationship, compliance, or ordinary business records, then delete or de-identify them when no longer reasonably necessary.
Direct purchases
For purchases completed through Cook checkout, Shopify and the applicable payment and fulfillment providers receive the information needed to process payment, calculate tax and shipping, fulfill the order, prevent fraud, provide tracking, and manage returns. Cook Curated does not store complete payment-card numbers.
Children
Cook Curated is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Privacy requests and applicable rights
Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, or object to certain processing. Contact hello@cookcurated.com to make a request. We may need to verify your identity and retain records required for orders, fraud prevention, or legal obligations. We do not require marketing consent to process an order or inquiry.
Your choices
You may unsubscribe from marketing at any time. You may also clear saved objects, campaign attribution, and bag contents through your browser’s site-data controls. Questions, inquiry-record requests, deletion requests, or privacy requests may be sent to hello@cookcurated.com.
