General Introduction
thetastyladle is all about making delicious recipes simple and welcoming. We don't create user profiles and don't gather your personal info directly. That means your personal details aren't shared or sold by us.
Still, some details might be collected automatically through thetastyladle's partners, mainly to enhance your experience or show stats and ads. This privacy notice is here to make things clear about what happens with your data and how thetastyladle keeps your info safe while you browse around.
Third-party services used
thetastyladle partners with external services so you can enjoy free recipes and a smooth website. Our partners help us with insights, website support, video content, and keeping everything running well. Here are the main tools thetastyladle uses:
- YouTube: Sometimes, you’ll spot videos from YouTube (which is owned by Google) on thetastyladle. Once you hit play, YouTube or Google could set cookies to track video stats (like view counts). If you’re signed in to Google, viewing might connect with your profile, but thetastyladle can't see any of that info. For more on this, check Google's privacy guidelines.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us measure site performance and keeps everything speedy. They collect info like IP addresses to spot issues, but everything’s grouped together and doesn’t identify you. No cookies here are used to pinpoint who you are.
- Google AdSense: This lets us show ads so we can bring you content at no cost. AdSense uses cookies to pick ads matched to your interests. thetastyladle doesn’t see any personal details tied to ad customization. If you want, you can read about it more in Google’s privacy rules.
- Google Analytics: With this, we find out how people use thetastyladle and which recipes you like best. It tracks things like what pages were seen and visit length – all anonymously. It may use cookies for this, but thetastyladle never receives info identifying individual visitors.
