General Introduction
Smartyskitchen is all about keeping things easy and welcoming while you browse recipes. You won't need an account, so we don't directly grab any of your personal data. That means your info isn't traded or shared.
Still, we want you to know how some details might be automatically gathered through third-party tools to make your experience better (like site analytics, personalized ads, and integrated videos). This privacy page spells out how these tools work and what Smartyskitchen does to safeguard your privacy every time you visit.
Third-party services used
Smartyskitchen relies on external services to keep the site running smoothly, offer free recipes, and enhance your time spent here. These partner services help us analyze usage, fund our content using ads, and add multimedia like recipe videos. Take a look at some main third-party tools Smartyskitchen utilizes:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare powers website analytics for us. They track performance and visitor counts without setting cookies that ID you. This helps us spot tech issues, and keeps Smartyskitchen speedy and secure. The data collected, like your IP or browsing details, gets lumped together and isn't used to pinpoint who you are.
- Google AdSense: Google AdSense lets us feature ads that help cover costs and keep recipes free for everyone. AdSense might use cookies to show ads matched to your interests and visits. Smartyskitchen doesn't see or access the personal info Google uses to customize ads. Want more details? Check Google's privacy guidelines.
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll find videos embedded from YouTube on Smartyskitchen (which belongs to Google). Watching these may place Google/YouTube cookies, tracking the views and stats. If you're signed in on Google, YouTube might link what you watch to your profile, but Smartyskitchen doesn't get any of that info. See Google or YouTube's privacy policy for specifics.
- Google Analytics: To measure traffic and popular recipes, Smartyskitchen uses Google Analytics—a tool that gathers anonymous site usage data (like which pages you visit or how long you stay). Cookies might be used for this, but Smartyskitchen won't ever collect details that personally identify you.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are small files that get saved on your device whenever you pop over to smartyskitchen.com. Smartyskitchen and its external partners use cookies to make your visit smoother:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to match ads to your interests, tracking what you browse for more tailored suggestions.
- Analytics cookies: Smartyskitchen relies on cookies from Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics for traffic reporting and site insights. Data collected is combined, never letting us identify you personally, but it shows us how guests move around the site so we can upgrade content and speed.
- Functional cookies: Some cookies are vital for Smartyskitchen to work as intended, from remembering what language you picked to keeping track of your privacy choices. If you block them, some site features might not work right.
Using Smartyskitchen means you're okay with these cookie policies. Feel free to control or wipe cookies using your browser's settings—most let you block them, clear them, or get notified before any are set. Blocking cookies could change how you experience Smartyskitchen or other sites.
