This includes the tracking of page load times and resource loading duration (image files, Javascript files, CSS files, etc.). The site owner has the ability to force this feature to honor DNT settings of visitors. By default, DNT is currently not honored. For more information about how WordPress processes data, please see the WordPress.org Privacy Policy.

We monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks in the following ways:
Wordfence: We use this security plugin for real-time monitoring and scanning of Culinary Chica. Wordfence is an endpoint firewall and integrated malware scanner.

Additionally, our administrators are notified each time any admin logs in from a new device or location. You can view Wordfence’s Privacy Policy here and read more about the cookies it uses here.
Akismet: This anti-spam plugin is used on the Culinary Chica website to protect against spam.
Two-Factor Identity Authentication: Culinary Chica uses this security feature where offered. Good examples of this are our email service Kit (formerly ConverKit), security plugin Wordfence, the WordPress platform, and our web host, SiteGround.

We will also notify you if there is a threat to your rights or interests. We will do everything we reasonably can to prevent security breaches and to assist authorities should any breaches occur.
