Welcome and Introduction
Cook with Me at Home is all about sharing easy recipes and fostering connections through food. Since we don’t require user accounts, we avoid collecting your personal info directly. This means your data isn’t kept, sold, or shared.
However, some data may be gathered automatically by third-party providers to improve your experience—like viewing analytics, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy document is here to explain clearly how that works and how we prioritize your security and confidentiality while you're using Cook with Me at Home.
Services We Use from Partners
To keep Cook with Me at Home free and running smoothly, we depend on third-party tools and platforms. These help us understand our site’s users, fund operations with advertising, and present multimedia content. Here are the main third-party services we rely on:
- Google Analytics: A tracking tool from Google allowing us to see details like site traffic and engagement (e.g., which recipes people view or how much time is spent). It uses cookies for anonymous tracking, and we don't collect any personally identifiable data through it.
- Google AdSense: This ad platform, powered by Google, serves advertisements to our visitors. Ads help us provide free recipes. AdSense uses cookies to show tailored ads, but Cook with Me at Home doesn’t receive any personal information from this process. For more details, you can check Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: A lightweight tool by Cloudflare that tracks website performance and visitor traffic. It ensures fast loading and a bug-free experience without involving cookies that could identify anyone individually. Data stays aggregated and anonymous.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we share recipe videos hosted on YouTube (owned by Google). If you watch these, cookies may collect playback and viewing data. Details like views might also connect to your Google account if you’re logged in, though Cook with Me at Home won’t have access to any of this information.
