This Cookie Notice explains how CPK Media, LLC d/b/a Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street (“CPK”, "we", "us", and "ours") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at www.177milkstreet.com, or any subdomain, or any other website that links to this cookie notice ("Sites") or use our applications and related services and communications when you interact with us (collectively, referred to as the "Services"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their Sites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
We use both "session ID cookies" and "persistent cookies". Session ID cookies are used to store information while a user is logged into the Services and expire when the user closes his/her browser. Persistent cookie are used to make tasks like logging into the Services easier for returning users by remember a user's login information. Persistent cookies stay on a user's hard drive from one session to the next.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, CPK) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other Sites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Sites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Sites, collect information for record keeping purposes and to make it easier to navigate the Services. Third parties serve cookies through our Sites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Sites and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Website you visit):
Types of cookie | Who serves these cookies | How to refuse |
Necessary cookies: Necessary cookies, also known as essential cookies, are crucial for a website's basic functionality. They are typically set to respond to user actions, such as logging in, adding items to a shopping cart, or customizing site settings. | Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Sites to you, you cannot refuse them. | |
Performance cookies: Performance cookies, also known as analytics cookies, help website owners collect information about how users interact with their websites. This data is used to improve the site's performance and user experience. We may use these cookies to assess the performance of our Services, including as part of our analytic practices to improve content offered through the services. We also use this information to tell us if you have visited the Sites before or if you are a new visitor and to help us identify the features in which you may have the greatest interest. | To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading "How can I control cookies?" | |
Targeting cookies: Targeting cookies, also known as advertising or tracking cookies, are used for advertising and marketing purposes. They track a user's online behavior and preferences to display personalized content and ads. We may use these to deliver content, including advertisements relevant to your interests on the Services and third party sites based on how you interact with our advertisements or content, as well as to track the content you access. | To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading "How can I control cookies?" | |
Functional cookies: Functional cookies enhance the user experience by remembering user preferences and choices, such as language settings, layout preferences, or previously entered information in forms. | To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading "How can I control cookies?"

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Sites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to count visitors, to monitor how users navigate the Services, to count how many emails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
When you visit or log in to our website, cookies and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with other personal information they or others have about you, including by association with your email or home address. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email or home addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout
HTML5
We use HTML5 in some of our applications, including in our mobile website for the iPhone or iPad. HTML5 has browser web storage that does not rely on traditional browser cookies. HTML5 cookies are not stored in a browser "cookies" file and can be used to track users across Sites. To our knowledge there is currently no known way for a user of a mobile device to remove HTML5 tracking and storage.
Embedded Scripts
An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device used to access Services from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Services, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
E-tags/cache browsers/web logs
Like most standard website servers, we log IP addresses (a unique number assigned to every computer on the internet) and device identification in order to improve security, analyze trends and administer the Services. We may track your movement within the Services, the pages from which you were referred, access times and browser types. This information may include the browser you are using, the internet address from which you linked to our Services, the operating system of your computer, the unique IP address of the computer of device identification from the mobile device that you used to access our Services and usage and browsing habits. We use this information in to gauge the effectiveness, usage, and popularity of our Services, track information for statistical purposes, help diagnose and troubleshoot server malfunctions, analyze trends, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. We may also use individual information we collect through web logs to send you targeted offers and other communications.
Device Fingerprinting
We may use device fingerprinting in some of our Services, which allows us to collect information about a remote computing device for the purpose of identification. It can be used to prevent fraud or collect information about you.
Do you serve targeted advertising?
We may use Tracking Technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other third party Sites in order to serve more targeted advertising to you. To serve our ads, we use a variety of third party advertising service providers, including networks, data exchanges, ad servers, analytics providers and others. These third parties may use Tracking Technologies to send directly to your Device the advertisements and links that appear on the Services. They automatically receive your Device identifier when this happens. Their tools may also limit the number of times you see the same advert and help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
These third parties may also use information gathered from your use of the Services to serve targeted, interest based advertisements to you on third party Sites and applications. Third parties may serve cookies or Tracking Technologies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Sites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other Sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifying details unless you choose to provide these.
