General Overview
Vegan Yum Recipes is a cooking website focusing on simplicity and fostering a welcoming environment for everyone. We don’t have user accounts and don’t directly gather personal details about you. That means we don’t sell or share any personal info.
Still, we’d like to explain how some data might automatically be collected through third-party services we use to make your experience better (e.g., traffic statistics, personalized ads, and embedded videos). This privacy policy is here to provide a clear and transparent explanation of these practices and how we safeguard your privacy and data when you’re browsing on Vegan Yum Recipes.
Third-Party Services We Use
To keep Vegan Yum Recipes running smoothly and to continue offering free recipe content, we rely on several third-party tools. They help us understand how you navigate the site, fund our content through ads, and enhance pages with video elements. Below are the main third-party services we work with:
- Google Analytics: This analytics tool from Google collects anonymous data about site visits (e.g., pages viewed, time spent on-site). It helps us figure out which recipes resonate most with users and how to improve the site. Google Analytics may use cookies to track this data, but Vegan Yum Recipes doesn’t access any information that can personally identify you.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform allows us to display ads on the site. These advertisements help fund Vegan Yum Recipes while keeping the content free. AdSense may use cookies to show relevant ads based on your browsing. Vegan Yum Recipes doesn’t access the personal data Google uses for ad personalization. For more details, refer to Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This web traffic analysis service from Cloudflare helps us monitor site performance and traffic without relying on cookies that identify you. It enables us to troubleshoot issues and ensure the site stays fast and secure. The data Cloudflare gathers (e.g., IP address, browsing habits) is aggregated and doesn’t individually identify users.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed videos of recipe tutorials hosted on YouTube (a platform by Google). When you watch a YouTube video on Vegan Yum Recipes, YouTube or Google might place cookies to track viewership and collect video-playback stats (e.g., number of views). If you’re logged into your Google account, YouTube might link your activity to your profile, but we don’t have access to such data. You can review YouTube/Google’s privacy policy for additional details.
