General Introduction
Cooking with Avery keeps things simple and friendly for food lovers. We don't ask you to make an account, and we won't gather your personal data directly. Rest assured, your info won't ever be sold or shared with others.
Still, there are a few ways data could get collected through some third-party tools we use, like traffic analysis, personalized ads, or embedded videos. Here you'll get a clear explanation of what types of info these services handle, plus how Cooking with Avery works to keep your privacy and data secure while you browse our site.
Third-party services used
To keep Cooking with Avery running smoothly and to share free recipes with everyone, we use a few outside services. They help us track how the site gets used, pay for the content through ads, and share recipe videos. Take a look at our main third-party partners below:
- Google Analytics: Google's tool for audience metrics gathers anonymous stats about site visits (like which pages you view and how much time you spend there). We use these insights to discover which recipes are favorites and find ways to make Cooking with Avery better. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect info, but we don’t get any personal details about you from these reports.
- Google AdSense: This Google ad platform lets us show ads that help fund Cooking with Avery and keep recipes free. AdSense may access cookies to display ads tailored to what interests you based on how you browse. However, Cooking with Avery doesn’t see or store any personal info Google uses for tailored ads. Visit Google's privacy policy to learn more.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare's traffic tools show us how the site performs and track visitor patterns without cookies that single you out. We rely on this aggregated data to spot technical hiccups and keep Cooking with Avery reliable and speedy. Cloudflare collects things like IP addresses and navigation details, but none of it can identify you individually.
- YouTube: Sometimes, Cooking with Avery includes recipe videos hosted on YouTube. Watching these videos places YouTube/Google cookies, which help track video plays and gather viewing data (like total watch counts). If you’re logged into Google, YouTube may link viewing to your profile, but Cooking with Avery doesn’t access any of that info. Check out YouTube/Google’s privacy policy for further details.
