You are not required to become a member of Zesti.net to get full acces to Zesti.net functions.
We will only record your e-mail address if you send us a message or supply it as part of your recipe submission. It will only be used for the purpose for which you provide it, and will not be added to a mailing list. We will not disclose it further without your consent or if required to do so for legal reasons.

Browsing
When you browse our site, we track all pages that are viewed. This information is available minimally through the web server logs. The software cannot associate your browsing with your identity details. At all times, you are treated as an anonymous browser.
Searches
Search terms that you enter when using our search engine are collected. We use these search terms to ascertain what people are looking for at this site, and to improve the services that we provide.

Cookies
A cookie is a short piece of data which is sent from a web server to a web browser on the user’s machine when the browser visits the server’s site. The cookie is stored on the user’s computer, but it is not an executable program and cannot do anything to your computer.
Whenever a web browser requests a file from the same web server that sent the cookie, the browser sends a copy of that cookie back to the server along with the request. In this way, the server knows you have visited before and can co-ordinate your access to different pages on its web site. A server cannot find out a name or e-mail address, or anything about a user’s computer, by using cookies.
Zesti.net uses cookies to obtain session details for access to parts of our site and the ratings system. Cookies are essential in providing a seamless access to our range of services. Cookie information is not futher stored or collected by us. If you choose not to accept cookies from this site, most of the site will still be accessible to you.
