Version of November 11, 2026
In short
- Your website on CookNest is free and your recipes stay yours.
- You allow us only to show them on your website and in what the website does with them: each recipe's page, search engines and the images for sharing it. You withdraw it whenever you like by hiding or deleting your website.
- You decide what is published: you edit, hide or delete anything, and you can download all your recipes.
- No exclusivity and no commitment: you keep posting wherever you like and you never have to talk about CookNest.
- With your website you get CookNest PRO, free and for ever.
- If we change these conditions, we tell you by email first.
1. Who is who
1.1. CookNest is COOKNEST S.L. ("CookNest"), tax ID (C.I.F.) B24958423, registered office at c/ Sant Marian 19, Puerta C, 08221 Terrassa (Barcelona, Spain), entered in the Barcelona Commercial Register, sheet B-646375.
1.2. "You" are the person or the business that activates a recipe website on CookNest with their CookNest account. If you activate it on behalf of a business or another person, you confirm you may do so for them. You must be of legal age or have the permission of your parents or guardians.
1.3. These conditions add to CookNest's Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Where anything here contradicts those texts, these conditions apply to your website. The affiliate program has its own conditions.
1.4. You accept them when you activate your website, the first time you sign in to edit it, by pressing one of the ways in under the sentence "By continuing, you allow CookNest to show your recipes on your website". We keep when you did it, with which account, which version of these conditions you were shown, from which IP address and with which browser.
2. Your website
2.1. CookNest builds a recipe website at cooknest.app/@yourhandle from your public Instagram posts. We read the text of each post (and, for a video with little text, the subtitles Instagram has for it), arrange the recipe into ingredients and steps, write it in your website's language and use the post's image as its photo. Amounts are copied as you wrote them; none are made up. We only do this with public profiles: from a private profile we build no website and store nothing.
2.2. You manage it from the CookNest Studio (cooknest.app/studio), with the same account you use in the CookNest app.
2.3. The website is free. We charge you nothing for it.
2.4. Activating your website does not publish it. Until you publish it, it can only be seen with the private link we sent you. Everyone can see it once you press «Publish my page», and every complete recipe you have not hidden is published with it.
2.5. Each recipe links to your original Instagram post and has a button to follow you. Nutrition facts and allergens are estimates; you can hide them across your whole website.
3. Your recipes stay yours
3.1. Your recipes, texts, photos and videos are yours. CookNest takes no rights over them beyond the permission in this section.
3.2. You give us a non-exclusive, free, worldwide permission, which you can withdraw whenever you like, only to:
- show your recipes, their photos, your name, your profile photo and your links on your website and on each recipe's page;
- adapt your recipes to the website: arrange them into ingredients and steps, translate them into your website's language, sort them into categories, estimate their nutrition facts and allergens, crop the photo or take it from a frame of the video, and prepare them for your website's search;
- let search engines such as Google index your website and your recipes while they are published;
- create the images that go with links to your website and your recipes when they are shared, and the stories you download from the Studio;
- let visitors to your website read each recipe, print it or download it as a PDF, and share its link.
3.3. We use your recipes for nothing else. We do not put them in the CookNest app or on other websites, and we do not sell them.
3.4. The «Save in CookNest» button on your recipes opens the CookNest app, or the store to download it. It does not copy your recipe into anyone's account.
3.5. You withdraw the permission by hiding or deleting your website (section 4). Whatever has already been shared or saved outside CookNest (a link, a screenshot, a copy in a search engine) does not depend on us and may take time to disappear.
3.6. You undertake that what you publish on your website is yours or that you have permission to use it, and that it breaks neither the law nor anyone else's rights.
4. You are in control
4.1. Edit. From the Studio you change each recipe (title, photo, time, servings, ingredients, steps, tips and categories), write new recipes and change your website (color, typeface, cover, photo, name, description and links). A recipe you have edited is never changed again by the import.
4.2. Hide a recipe. It disappears from your website at once and its address says it no longer exists. You can show it again whenever you like.
4.3. Hide your website. From «My page» in the Studio. It is no longer shown at cooknest.app/@yourhandle, not even through the private link: only you see it, with your account. We stop bringing in your new posts. Your recipes stay in the Studio and you publish it again whenever you like.
4.4. Download your recipes. In the Studio's Settings, «Export recipes» downloads all your recipes, published or not, in a file in the web's standard recipe format (schema.org): title, ingredients, steps, time, servings and the link to the main photo, among other data.
4.5. Delete your website. In the Studio's Settings, «Delete my page», typing your website's address to confirm. It happens at once and cannot be undone:
- your website, all your recipes (published or not), every address your website has had and its photos are deleted: the ones we brought in from your Instagram posts and the ones you uploaded (profile photo, cover, ads and recipe photos);
- we stop bringing in your Instagram posts;
- your website's address says the page no longer exists, and the images for sharing it are no longer made.
What remains: your CookNest account, with CookNest PRO (to delete it, Delete account); the record that you accepted these conditions, as evidence; and the daily visit figures, which delete themselves after 25 months. If you are in the affiliate program, its conditions say what happens to it.
5. Your new posts
5.1. While your website is not hidden, we check your Instagram every hour and bring in your new posts.
5.2. In the Studio's Settings, «New recipes», you choose what we do with them, and you can change it whenever you like:
- leave them on Instagram: only the recipes you add yourself come in;
- bring them to your Studio: they wait for you in Pending and you decide whether they go on your website;
- publish them on your website: if they arrive complete (with a title, ingredients and steps), they go live at once; if not, they wait for you in Pending.
5.3. We email you about each new recipe unless you switch it off. A post with no written recipe never appears on your website.
6. No exclusivity, no obligations
6.1. There is no exclusivity. You keep posting your recipes on Instagram, on your own website or anywhere you like, and you work with whoever you like.
6.2. There is no commitment. You can hide or delete your website whenever you like, at no cost.
6.3. You do not have to post anything about CookNest. The Studio gives you ideas for sharing your website, but using them is up to you, and we never post anything on your social accounts for you.
6.4. Your own ads and collaborations. You can put your own ads on your website (up to 6 cards for your book, a brand you work with, a course) and up to 8 links. You write them and you are responsible for them, including saying they are advertising when the law requires it. CookNest puts no one's ads on your website.
6.5. What CookNest shows on your website: a "Made with CookNest" line, the links to privacy and cookies, the buttons to download the CookNest app and the «Save in CookNest» button.
7. CookNest PRO and the affiliate program
7.1. The CookNest account you activate your website with gets CookNest PRO free and for ever, with no card. It is one account per website, and you keep it even if you hide or delete your website.
7.2. The affiliate program is separate and optional, with its own conditions. Your website works the same whether you join it or not.
8. What CookNest may do
8.1. We may hide a recipe or your website if it contains something illegal or that infringes other people's rights (for example, someone else's photos or recipes), or while we review a complaint about it. We tell you by email and say why.
8.2. The import is automatic and can make mistakes or miss a recipe. Check your recipes: you can correct any of them from the Studio. Your website also depends on Instagram and other services, so we cannot guarantee it will always work without interruption.
8.3. We may change or improve how the website works. If we stop offering creator websites, we tell you by email at least 30 days in advance so you can download your recipes.
9. Changes to these conditions
9.1. If we change these conditions in a way that affects you, we tell you by email, at the address in the Studio's Settings, at least 15 days before they apply. If you do not agree, you can hide or delete your website before then.
10. Your data
10.1. For your website we process your CookNest account data, your email address, the public data from your Instagram profile that appears on your website, and the record of your acceptance (section 1.4). The Privacy Policy also explains what we process when we prepare your website before you activate it, and how to ask us to delete it.
10.2. We measure visits to your website anonymously, as totals, without storing anything on the visitor's device. In the Studio and in some emails we show you figures such as visits, the most viewed recipes or taps on «Save in CookNest». We never tell you who any visitor is.
11. Law and contact
11.1. These conditions are governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, any dispute will be settled by the courts of your place of residence. If you activate your website as a business or professional, by the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Barcelona (Spain).
11.2. For any question about your website: help@cooknest.app.
