General Introduction
Cooking with Alana is all about easygoing recipes and a fun kitchen atmosphere. We don’t offer user accounts, so we’re not gathering any personal info straight from you. That means we never give away or sell your personal details.
Still, some info might be collected automatically by third-party tools that help Cooking with Alana run smoother. This may include things like visitor stats, personalized ads, or embedded recipe videos. Our privacy policy is here to make everything clear and help you understand how we guard your privacy whenever you visit Cooking with Alana.
Third-party services used
To keep Cooking with Alana running smoothly and serving up free recipes, we use a handful of outside services. These tools make it possible to show ads, track site performance and add recipe videos to our pages. Here are the main third-party platforms we currently work with:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service helps us keep Cooking with Alana speedy and detect tech issues. It analyzes web data without identifying you personally. Info like your IP address is bundled together, not linked to individual users—and no cookies are used for recognition.
- YouTube: At times, Cooking with Alana features recipe videos via YouTube. Watching a YouTube video may lead to YouTube/Google cookies being set for playback stats (like view counts). If you’re signed into Google, YouTube might connect viewing activity to your profile, though we never access that data. For more info, check YouTube/Google's privacy details.
- Google Analytics: This tool collects anonymous data—such as page visits and time spent—to help us spot fan-favorite recipes. Cookies may be set, but Cooking with Alana doesn't receive anything that would identify you personally.
- Google AdSense: Ads let us keep Cooking with Alana free for everyone. AdSense displays ads tailored to your interests, based on your site activity, with cookies helping pick the most relevant ones. Cooking with Alana can't see or access the personal info Google uses. For details, Google’s privacy policy has more info.
