Privacy Policy

Last updated 10 November 2026

What we collect

You can use Aaj Kya Banau without an account. Our servers keep standard access logs (IP address, browser, page requested and time) to keep the site running and secure. We do not sell personal data.

If you write to us, we keep your email and message only to reply.

Videos

Recipe videos are hosted by YouTube. Nothing from YouTube loads until you press play, and then the player loads from youtube-nocookie.com. Once it plays, YouTube’s own privacy policy applies.

Body-type quiz

Your quiz answers are worked out in your browser. We do not store them.

Analytics and cookies

The site itself does not need cookies to work. We use two kinds of analytics to learn which recipes and pages are useful:

Our own page statistics. Which pages are opened, which links are pressed, how long a page stays open and how far it is scrolled. Your browser keeps a random visitor number and a random visit number (in local and session storage, not cookies) so we can count visitors without knowing who they are. We do not store your IP address, name or email with these numbers.
Google Analytics 4. Google sets its own cookies to count visits and where they come from. Google’s privacy policy applies to that data. You can block it with Google’s opt-out browser add-on or your browser’s privacy settings; the site works the same without it.

If you sign up for the newsletter we keep your e-mail address, when you signed up and confirmed, and which form you used. We send at most one e-mail a week plus festival specials, through our own mail server. Every e-mail has an unsubscribe link that works in one click; after that we keep your address only marked as unsubscribed, so we never write to it again.

Notifications

If you say yes to notifications, your browser gives us a token from Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging so we can send you up to four dish ideas a day (around breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner time). The token identifies your browser, not you. To stop them, turn off notifications for aajkyabanau.com in your browser settings; tokens that stop working are deleted automatically.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can also complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

Children

The site is not meant for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
