Comments
When visitors leave comments on the website, the data entered into the comment form is collected, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam and maintain website security.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it.

Cookies
BakeGear UK may use cookies to improve your browsing experience and remember certain preferences.
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies may remain for up to one year.
If you visit the login page (if available), a temporary cookie may be used to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When logged in, cookies may also be used to store login details and display preferences. Login cookies typically last for two days, while screen preference cookies may last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” may extend login access for up to two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on BakeGear UK may include embedded content such as videos, images, or product widgets. Embedded content from third-party websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, apply additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, particularly if you are logged in to their services.
