Welcome to Plateku!
Hi there, and thanks for stopping by Plateku.com. I’m Elena, and this is my personal food blog where I share recipes, stories, and kitchen inspiration. Your privacy matters to me, and I want you to feel comfortable and safe while browsing, commenting, or signing up for my newsletter. Here’s how your information is handled on Plateku.com.
What Information Do We Collect?
- Email Address: If you sign up for my newsletter, you’ll share your email address. That’s the only personal info I collect directly from you.
- Comments: When you leave a comment, you may provide your name and email. This helps me connect with you and keep the conversation friendly.
- Cookies & Analytics: Plateku.com uses cookies and Google Analytics to see how folks use the site. This helps me understand what recipes you love and how I can make Plateku even better. Cookies don’t give me your personal details—they just help the site run smoothly.

Do We Share Your Information?
Nope! I don’t sell, rent, or share your personal information with anyone. Your email stays safe with me. The only exception is if I’m required by law to share info (like if a court asks for it), but that’s pretty rare.
Cookies & Tracking
Plateku.com uses cookies to make your experience smoother. Cookies are tiny files stored on your device. They help remember your preferences, keep the site running, and let me see what’s popular. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings if you want.
Google Analytics is used to track site visits and trends. This data is anonymous and doesn’t identify you personally. It just helps me see what’s working and what needs improvement.

If you live in California, you have special rights under the CCPA:
- You can ask what personal info I have about you.
- You can ask me to delete your info.
- You can ask me not to sell your info (I don’t sell it anyway).
If you want to exercise any of these rights, just email me at [email protected] or visit the Contact page. I’ll respond as quickly as possible.
Children’s Privacy
Plateku.com is for food lovers of all ages, but I don’t knowingly collect info from kids under 13. If you’re a parent and think your child has shared info here, please email me and I’ll remove it right away.
