General Introduction
Recipes by Hannah is a cooking site focused on keeping things simple and enjoyable. We don’t require user accounts, and we don’t collect your personal information directly. That means we don’t sell or share any of your personal details.
However, we’d like to be upfront about how certain data may be collected automatically by third-party tools that help enhance your experience (e.g., usage statistics, targeted ads, or embedded videos). This privacy policy aims to explain these practices clearly and transparently, as well as how we safeguard your privacy as you explore Recipes by Hannah.
Third-Party Services Used
To keep Recipes by Hannah running smoothly and provide free recipe content, we use services from third-party providers. These tools allow us to understand how you interact with the site, fund our operations through ads, and enrich pages with video content. Below are the main third-party services we rely on:
- Google Analytics: This audience analysis tool from Google collects anonymous data about site visits (e.g., pages viewed, time spent on pages). It helps us identify popular recipes and find ways to improve the site. Google Analytics may use cookies for tracking purposes, but Recipes by Hannah doesn't collect any personally identifiable information through it.
- Google AdSense: Google's advertising platform displays ads on our site. These ads help fund our content while keeping it free for you. AdSense might use cookies to serve ads tailored to your browsing habits. Recipes by Hannah doesn’t access the personal information Google uses for ad personalization. You can review Google’s privacy policy for more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this web analytics service monitors traffic and performance without relying on cookies that identify users. It helps us spot technical issues and ensure the site stays fast and secure. The data Cloudflare collects (e.g., IP addresses and browsing details) is aggregated and not used to identify individuals.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed recipe videos hosted on YouTube (a Google service). When you watch a video on Recipes by Hannah, YouTube may place cookies to gather viewing stats like play counts. If you’re logged into Google, YouTube might associate the video with your account, but none of this data is accessible to us. You can refer to YouTube/Google’s privacy policy for more information.
