General Introduction
cookedandsavored is committed to keeping things easy and friendly for everyone looking for recipes. We don’t have user profiles and never gather your personal details directly. That means we won't share or sell any information about you.
Still, we think it’s important you know that some info might be gathered automatically through third-party services we use. These include site analytics, relevant advertising, and embedded videos, all geared toward improving your experience. This privacy policy is here to clearly explain those practices and how cookedandsavored works to keep your privacy protected whenever you visit cookedandsavored.com.
Third-party services used
cookedandsavored uses a few trusted third-party partners to bring you free recipe content and keep our site running smoothly. These services help us enhance video pages, fund the site with ads, and see how people use the site to get better over time. Here’s a breakdown of our main third-party partners:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service from Cloudflare lets us monitor traffic and site health without setting cookies that can identify you. We use it to spot tech issues and keep cookedandsavored.com running fast. Collected data, such as visit stats and your IP, is anonymous and not tied to you.
- Google AdSense: Through Google's ad platform, we can show you ads that help keep cookedandsavored free. AdSense may use cookies so you see ads that match your interests, but cookedandsavored never has access to the sensitive info Google uses to personalize ads. For more, review the details in Google’s privacy policy.
- YouTube: Sometimes we embed video recipes from YouTube (owned by Google). When you play a YouTube video on cookedandsavored.com, Google/YouTube may drop cookies for tracking things like play count and analytics. If you’re signed into Google, your YouTube viewing could connect to your profile, but cookedandsavored can’t see that info. To learn more, check the YouTube/Google privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: This Google tool gives us insight into which pages are popular and how visitors move around the site by collecting anonymous usage data. It may use cookies for tracking, but cookedandsavored never collects any info that could identify you.
