General Introduction
kitchensavorist is a recipe platform that's all about making cooking easy and fun. There are no account sign-ups here, and kitchensavorist never directly collects your personal info. So, we don't sell or share anything that personally identifies you.
Still, we think it's important you know some data might be automatically gathered by services we use to run kitchensavorist. These might track things like site usage, ads, or embedded video content. This privacy policy gives you the lowdown on what gets collected and how we look out for your privacy while you're on kitchensavorist.
Third-party services used
To keep kitchensavorist running smoothly and recipes free for you, we rely on a few third-party tools. These help us understand site traffic, show ads that help fund the site, and add videos to our pages. Here are the main tools we use:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps analyze website activity and keep things running fast and securely. They gather site performance stats without cookies that identify you. IP addresses and browsing info are combined into reports—they don't single you out.
- YouTube: Some recipes feature videos streamed from YouTube (which is owned by Google). Watching those videos on kitchensavorist means YouTube/Google cookies might track views and video stats. If you're logged into Google, they could connect your viewing to your account, but that info never comes our way. To read more, check YouTube/Google's privacy page.
- Google AdSense: Google's ad service places ads on kitchensavorist, helping us keep content free. AdSense might use cookies to show ads tailored to your interests based on your browsing. We can’t access any of the personal data Google uses for customizing ads. For extra info, Google’s privacy policy has the details.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics collects anonymous usage info—like how long people stay or which recipes are a hit. This helps us see what's popular and figure out how to improve kitchensavorist. Google Analytics uses cookies, but kitchensavorist never gets any data that could identify you personally.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are little bits of data stored on your device when you browse around. Both kitchensavorist and some of the partners we work with use cookies to make your experience better:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to show you ads. They'll save info about what catches your eye, so ads feel more relevant to you.
- Functional cookies: These essentials make sure kitchensavorist works right, like remembering which language you picked or your consent preferences. Take them out and some features just won't work as they should.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics rely on these to learn how folks use kitchensavorist. The info gets grouped up and helps us update our content and boost site performance.
By hanging out on kitchensavorist, you're cool with these cookies being used. If you want, your browser lets you block or erase cookies, or set it up to warn you before anything's saved. Just know, shutting off cookies might change how kitchensavorist or other sites function for you.
