This website collects and uses personal data for the following purposes:

• Website traffic monitoring

Like most websites, https://www.cookforduke.com uses Google Analytics (GA) to track users’ activity. We use these data to determine the number of people using our website, in order for us to better understand how they find and use our websites and track their journey on the website.

Although GA records data, such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of these data reveals your identity to us. GA also records your computer IP address, which could be used for your identification, but Google does not provide any access to this info.

We consider Google as a third-party data controller, compliant with the European Legislation requirements.

• Contact forms and email links

Should you choose to contact us, using the contact form or an email link, none of the data you provide will be archived by this website or transmitted or submitted to be processed by any third-party data processor, as defined below in the section «Our third-party data processors».

Instead, these data will be sent to us with an email message, via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (known in some cases as SSL), which means that email content is encrypted before it is sent through internet. Email content is decrypted by our local computers and devices.

How, where and when the data are used

This includes, but is not limited to, the use of firewalls and the encryption. While we try hard, based on good faith, to maintain the security of such information, no transmission method over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% safe, so we are not able to guarantee that the data will remain secure from non-authorized access, use, disclosure or alteration.

In addition, as we work hard to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we are not able to guarantee that our security measures will prevent «hackers» or other persons with no authorized access, to penetrate or illegally obtain these data.
