General Introduction
My Gourmet Flavors is a recipe website that focuses on being easy to use and welcoming. We don’t have user accounts and don’t directly gather your personal details. As a result, we don’t sell or share any information about you.
However, we want to explain how some data might be automatically collected through third-party services that we use to make your experience better (e.g., analytics, personalized ads, and embedded videos). The purpose of this privacy policy is to provide clear and transparent explanations of these practices and how we protect your information and privacy while you browse My Gourmet Flavors.
Third-Party Services
To keep My Gourmet Flavors running smoothly and to continue offering free recipes, we rely on services provided by outside companies. These tools help us understand how you use the site, support our content through ads, and enrich our pages with video materials. Here’s a list of the main third-party services we use:
- Google Analytics: This is a traffic analysis tool by Google that collects anonymous data about how people interact with the site (like which pages are visited or how long users stay). This feedback allows us to identify popular recipes and make the website better. Google Analytics may use cookies to track this data, but My Gourmet Flavors doesn’t gather any personal information that could identify you.
- Google AdSense: Google’s advertising platform helps display ads on our website. These ads support the site financially while we keep our content free. AdSense might use cookies to show more relevant ads based on your browsing. My Gourmet Flavors doesn’t access any of the personal data Google uses for ad customization. For more details, check Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare provides web traffic analytics, helping us monitor site performance without relying on cookies for identification. This service allows us to address technical issues and ensure the website remains fast and secure. Although Cloudflare collects web-related data, like IP addresses or browsing activity, none of it is used to identify individual users.
- YouTube: We sometimes include video recipes hosted on YouTube, which is owned by Google. Watching these videos on My Gourmet Flavors might trigger YouTube/Google cookies that track video playback and collect statistics (e.g., view counts). If you’re signed into your Google account, YouTube might associate your activity with your profile. However, we don’t have access to this data. You can view YouTube/Google’s privacy policy for more details.
