General Introduction
speakingfood is all about sharing easy, friendly recipes—no registration needed. We never gather personal details or create user accounts, and your personal info isn't sold or traded, ever.
Still, we want you to understand how some data gets automatically picked up by partners we rely on—like for tracking site stats, personalized ads, or showing videos. This privacy page gives you a clear, honest look at how these services work and what speakingfood does to protect your privacy while you're browsing speakingfood.
Third-party services used
To ensure speakingfood runs smoothly and stays free, we use a few third-party tools. They help us analyze traffic, support content through ads, and provide video features. Here are the main services you'll find on speakingfood:
- YouTube: speakingfood sometimes includes cooking videos via YouTube. When you view one, YouTube might set cookies to track how many folks watch. If you're logged into Google, YouTube could connect your viewing habits with that profile. speakingfood never sees or accesses those account details. For more, check out YouTube's own privacy resources.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This tool, offered by Cloudflare, keeps an eye on speakingfood's performance and traffic. Cloudflare grabs some data—like IP addresses and basic browsing info—but it doesn't use identifying cookies. That means your info stays anonymous and only helps us spot technical issues or keep speakingfood speedy and safe.
- Google AdSense: speakingfood uses AdSense to display ads and support free content. AdSense taps into cookies for tailored ads that match your interests. speakingfood can't see or use personal info stored by Google for these ads. For privacy details, see Google's policies.
- Google Analytics: This analytics service collects data on visitor activity (for instance, which pages get the most views, or how long folks stay). It uses cookies, but speakingfood never has access to anything that personally identifies you. These insights help us understand what's working and what needs improving.
