Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 13, 2026

At Afternoon Kitchen (CookKorea), accessible from https://cookkorea.co.kr/, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by Afternoon Kitchen and how we use it.

1. Information We Collect

You can browse the site without an account. The contact page provides an email link rather than a website submission form. If you email the editorial desk, your message and reply address are available to that desk and the email service handling the correspondence.

This information is used strictly to respond to your inquiries and is never sold, leased, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

2. Log Files

Afternoon Kitchen follows standard website logging procedures. These logs record visitors when they visit websites. The information collected includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This information is used for analyzing trends, administering the site, and gathering broad demographic data.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, Afternoon Kitchen uses cookies to store information including visitors' preferences and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize user experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.

4. Google DoubleClick DART Cookie & Advertising Partners

Google is one of the third-party vendors on our site. It also uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to cookkorea.co.kr and other sites on the internet.

  • Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Afternoon Kitchen. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.
  • You may choose to decline or opt-out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads or through Google Ads Settings.

5. GDPR and CCPA Privacy Rights

We comply with international data protection standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Visitors residing in the European Economic Area (EEA) and California have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, or restriction of their personal data.
