General Introduction
flavorandfeast puts a premium on an easy-going, straightforward cooking experience. There are no user profiles here, so we never gather your personal details. That means your information is safe—flavorandfeast never sells or shares anything about you.
However, some data might be picked up automatically by outside services we use, like for customizing ads, measuring visitor stats, or playing videos. This privacy page walks you through what gets collected, why we use these tools, and how flavorandfeast looks out for your privacy while you browse our recipes.
Third-party services used
To keep flavorandfeast free and running smoothly, we partner with several outside platforms. These tools help us offer you helpful content, videos, and advertising, as well as insights to keep making the site better. Our primary third-party services include:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service, offered by Cloudflare, lets us see how well the site’s running and how it’s being used. Cloudflare doesn’t use identifying cookies; everything’s aggregated, so we can spot tech hiccups and keep flavorandfeast fast, secure, and reliable. Info like your IP and browsing data isn’t used to single you out.
- YouTube: We sometimes pop YouTube videos onto our recipe pages. When you watch a YouTube clip on flavorandfeast, YouTube/Google may put cookies in your browser to log things like view numbers or video stats. If you’re signed into Google, your activity could be linked to your profile, but flavorandfeast never sees that info. Take a look at YouTube or Google’s privacy policy for more.
- Google AdSense: Ads on flavorandfeast are shown through Google AdSense. These ads keep our site running for free, and may use cookies to tailor what you see to your interests. flavorandfeast doesn't access any of the details Google uses to personalize ads. Read more in Google’s privacy terms.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics gives us a big-picture view of how folks use flavorandfeast, like which pages get the most love and how long people hang around. Everything’s collected anonymously, and cookies may be used to get this data—flavorandfeast never receives info that could identify you personally.
