General Introduction
rusticrecipeblog is all about easy, enjoyable cooking. We don't have user account features, so we don't directly gather your personal info. That means we don't share or sell any details about you.
Still, some information gets collected automatically by external tools we use for things like visitor stats, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This policy explains what sort of data may be picked up by those partners and breaks down how rusticrecipeblog works to keep your privacy protected while you're browsing our site.
Third-party services used
rusticrecipeblog relies on outside services to keep things running smoothly and to offer you free recipe content. These tools let us see how visitors use our pages, fund the site through advertising, and add features like recipe videos. Here are the key third-party tools we work with:
- Google Analytics: This Google service analyzes visitor data, such as which pages are viewed and for how long, giving us insight into which content is most popular and what to improve. Cookies are used to follow this activity, but rusticrecipeblog never receives any data that can personally identify you.
- Google AdSense: Google's ad network displays adverts on rusticrecipeblog, helping us keep the site free for everyone. AdSense uses cookies to tailor advertising to your browsing. We can't access any identifying info Google may use when personalizing ads. If you're curious, check out Google's privacy policy for more info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this traffic monitoring service helps us keep rusticrecipeblog secure and speedy. It collects anonymized data on visits (like IP address and browsing data), but never uses cookies to identify individuals. The info is grouped and not tied to you.
- YouTube: At times, we include cooking videos hosted through YouTube (owned by Google). Watching these on rusticrecipeblog can lead to YouTube/Google cookies being used to log playback and viewing stats (such as view count). If you’re logged into your Google account, YouTube may link your watching activity to your profile, but rusticrecipeblog can't access any of that data. For more, check the Google/YouTube privacy policy.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files stored on your device when you visit rusticrecipeblog or our partners' sites. These help make your experience smoother:
- Functional cookies: Critical for the website to operate. For example, they remember your choice of language or whether you've agreed to cookie use. rusticrecipeblog might not work correctly without them.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to deliver ads matching your interests or browsing habits, making advertising more relevant while you visit.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to capture info about traffic and website usage. This anonymized info helps rusticrecipeblog fine-tune content and improve site performance.
By using rusticrecipeblog, you agree to the cookie practices just described. You're free to manage or erase cookies with your browser settings—most browsers give you the option to block cookies, delete them, or get alerts before saving. Just remember, some site functionality could be affected if cookies are disabled for rusticrecipeblog or elsewhere.
