General Introduction
Welcome to spoonverve—an online destination for easy, friendly recipes. We don’t require account signups and never collect your personal details directly. That means your info isn’t sold or shared with anyone.
Still, it’s important you know that some technical data might be picked up automatically via outside platforms we use to make your visit better, like analytics, relevant ads, or embedding videos. This policy walks you through those practices and how spoonverve looks after your privacy each time you visit.
Third-party services used
To keep spoonverve running smoothly and recipes free, we rely on select external tools. They help us learn how you use spoonverve, display ads to support what we do, and bring video content to our pages. Take a look at the main services we use:
- Google Analytics: This tracking service by Google shows us anonymized trends—like what pages get the most views or how long people stay. We use these details to shape a better spoonverve experience. Cookies may be placed for analytics, but spoonverve never receives info that points directly to you.
- Google AdSense: AdSense, by Google, lets us display ads that help fund spoonverve’s free recipes. It uses cookies so ads are more suited to your interests, but we don’t see or access personal data Google might use for personalization. For details, check Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare provides web stats so we can keep an eye on spoonverve’s stability and speed—without using personal-tracking cookies. Cloudflare’s data (like traffic patterns or IP addresses) is shown in aggregate and can’t be linked back to you.
- YouTube: When we share cooking videos hosted on YouTube, Google/YouTube may use cookies to track video stats (such as play counts). If you’re already logged in with Google, YouTube may tie that viewing to your profile—however, spoonverve can't see or access that data. To find out more, review Google or YouTube’s privacy info.
