The Border Table
Privacy
The publication uses limited operational data and gives visitors a clear choice before optional analytics is loaded.
Public features
The site does not offer public accounts, comments, ratings, recipe submissions, saved recipes, public profiles, or direct messaging. Smart Cooking Assistant and Culinary Passport remain inactive concepts.
Operational data
The hosting system may process ordinary technical information such as IP address, requested URL, browser information, time, and error details in server and security logs. This information supports operation, reliability, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting.
Optional analytics
Google Analytics is used to understand which recipes, guides, and navigation paths are useful. Analytics is off until a visitor chooses Allow analytics. The choice is stored in the visitor’s browser and can be reopened through Privacy choices in the footer. Google may process device, browser, approximate-location, page, referral, and interaction information according to its own terms and privacy documentation.
Advertising
The publication uses Google AdSense advertising code. Google may not display ads until it has approved the site, and ad availability can vary by visitor, page, region, and advertiser demand. AdSense may use cookies, local storage, device, browser, approximate-location, page, referral, and interaction information to deliver, limit, measure, and protect advertising according to Google’s terms and privacy documentation.
Your choices
Choosing Essential only leaves optional Google Analytics off. Clearing browser storage may reset that analytics choice. Advertising consent and opt-out controls required for a visitor’s region are provided separately through Google’s certified consent-management message.
