Who we are
This privacy policy applies to cookgroups.org ("CookGroups", "we", "us", "our"). CookGroups is an independent review and comparison website for cook groups and reselling communities.
Information we collect
CookGroups does not require you to create an account or submit any personal information to use the site. We collect the following data automatically when you visit:
- Analytics data — We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised information about how visitors use our site, including pages visited, time on site, device type, and general geographic location. This data is anonymised and cannot be used to identify you personally.
- Cookies — Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Affiliate links
CookGroups contains affiliate links to third-party platforms, primarily Whop. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This has no cost to you. The third-party platforms you visit through affiliate links have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
How we use collected information
Analytics data is used solely to understand how our content is being used so we can improve it. We do not sell, rent, or share any visitor data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Your rights
If you are located in the UK or EU, you have rights under UK GDPR and the GDPR respectively, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold.
