PRIVACY & COOKIES
Your place at the fire.
Updated 20 September 2026. BBQ Stories is an independent food publication. For all privacy questions and requests, contact info@diversitymedia.gr. This page explains the choices available on this website.
Optional audience measurement.
With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand page visits and interactions such as reading, scrolling, recipe printing and choosing a video. Google receives connection, device and event data and may store analytics cookies. We do not load the Analytics tag or send Analytics requests before you allow it. This Analytics choice does not give permission for advertising. Advertising choices are handled separately by the advertising consent platform when available.
Your choice is saved in your browser for up to six months. You can reject optional analytics or change your choice below. Withdrawing consent stops future measurement on this browser; it does not automatically erase previously collected data. We do not send search terms from our site search to Analytics.
Content and hosting providers.
Fonts load from Google Fonts and film thumbnails from YouTube; these requests disclose ordinary connection information such as IP address. YouTube players load only when you choose a film, using its privacy-enhanced embed domain. Photographs are served by BBQ Stories. Hosting providers process requests and may retain operational logs to deliver and protect the website.
Messages and advertising.
Public reading does not require an account, and the site has no newsletter registration. The private editorial desk uses Sign in with ChatGPT. We store the authorised editor’s Site user ID to restrict access, and store drafts, published articles and uploaded photographs in our hosting database and file storage. Drafts and their unpublished images require editorial access; published articles and their bylines, sources and images are public. The editor can download article data and return a published article to draft. Clicking an email link opens your email app; if you send an enquiry, we use its contents to respond. Our reserved advertising spaces currently display our own promotions. The Google AdSense script loads to connect this site to our publisher account; this sends ordinary connection information to Google. Ad requests are paused until a compatible advertising consent platform supplies a consent status, which Google uses to determine eligible advertising. Without that platform, ads remain paused. The Analytics buttons do not enable advertising. When advertising consent controls are available, use them to review or change your advertising choices. External publisher links take you to services with their own privacy policies.
Your choices and requests.
You can change your browser’s cookie choice at any time using the control above. Contact info@diversitymedia.gr to request access, correction or deletion of personal information you have supplied to us. You may also raise privacy concerns with the relevant data protection authority. Google’s processing and international data handling are explained in its privacy policy and partner-site information. Avoid sending sensitive information in advertising enquiries.
