General Introduction
spoonistry is all about simple, joyful cooking. You don’t need an account to browse, and we never ask for your personal info. As a result, nothing about you gets sold or passed on.
Still, we think it’s important to share how third-party tools may collect some data while you use spoonistry.com. Things like traffic analytics, personalized ads or embedded video may collect details automatically. This privacy policy breaks down what’s gathered, how it’s used, and those steps we take to keep your info safe when you visit spoonistry.com.
Third-party services used
To keep spoonistry.com running smoothly—and to keep giving you free recipes—we team up with several outside partners. They help us watch how the site gets used, make content possible with ads and add videos you might love. Here’s a look at the main third-party providers we work with:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This platform tracks how the site’s performing and how visitors arrive, but doesn’t use personal-identifying cookies. The data is blended together (like your IP address and browser info) so no one’s singled out. It’s mostly for spotting glitches and keeping spoonistry.com fast for you.
- YouTube: You’ll sometimes see recipe videos from YouTube, which is part of Google. Watching these on spoonistry.com may pop a YouTube or Google cookie onto your device, recording things like how many folks watched. If you’re logged into Google, YouTube could link the view to your profile, but spoonistry never sees this data. Want to know more? Check out YouTube/Google’s privacy policy.
- Google AdSense: This is our ad network, powered by Google. It helps pay for free content by showing ads on spoonistry.com. AdSense may use cookies to show you advertising that matches your taste based on your browsing habits—but we can’t see your personal info. Full details are available in Google’s privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: This is how we study site traffic patterns—pages visited, time spent, that kind of thing. All the info is anonymous, letting us figure out what recipes are most loved and where to tweak the site. Google Analytics does use cookies, but spoonistry keeps personal data private and never accesses identifiable details.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are little text files dropped onto your device whenever you visit a website. Both spoonistry.com and our partners use them to level up your visit:
- Functional cookies: These are must-haves for the site—things like remembering your language selection or privacy settings. If you turn these off, some parts of spoonistry might break or not show up right.
- Advertising cookies: These come from Google AdSense and track what interests you as you browse. That way, you see ads that feel more relevant.
- Analytics cookies: Used both by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics. They help us get a grip on traffic stats and see how people move around spoonistry.com. Everything here is pooled so no one’s identified, but it’s vital to making spoonistry work better for you.
By hanging out on spoonistry.com, you’re saying yes to the cookies above. You’re always welcome to adjust or erase cookies in your browser settings. Almost every browser lets you block, erase or get warned about cookies before they’re set. Just remember, disabling cookies could change how spoonistry—along with lots of sites—works for you.
Changes to this policy
This privacy statement could change from time to time. If we shift how we do things, use new services or need to match new laws, we’ll freshen it up. If anything major comes in, we’ll call it out clearly at the top of spoonistry.com—think homepage banners or special notifications.
You can always see when it was last updated at the very top of the page. We’d suggest checking in once in a while so you always know what data’s being handled and how spoonistry looks after your privacy.
