General Introduction
cookentra is a recipe platform that keeps things easy and friendly. We don't use user accounts, so we never directly gather your personal info—and we never sell or distribute it, either.
Still, it’s important for us to let you know that we rely on some outside tools to make your visit better. These might automatically collect certain details, like site statistics, personalized ads, or video content. This privacy policy is here to explain how these services work, what kind of data they collect, and the steps cookentra takes to keep your privacy protected as you browse cookentra.
Third-party services used
To keep cookentra running smoothly and provide plenty of free recipes, we depend on a few third-party services. These help us understand how folks interact with the site, earn revenue through ads, and add useful video features. Here’s a rundown of the key services we use:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This tool from Cloudflare monitors website speed and traffic. It doesn’t rely on identifying cookies, but instead looks at general (aggregated) browsing details and IP addresses. cookentra uses it to troubleshoot issues and keep the site speedy and safe without linking info to you personally.
- YouTube: Sometimes, our recipes come with embedded YouTube videos. When you play a video on cookentra, YouTube might save cookies to keep track of plays and gather viewer stats (like total views). If you’re signed in to Google, YouTube may link your viewing to your account, but cookentra doesn’t have access to any of that. For more info, check YouTube/Google’s privacy details.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform lets us display ads on cookentra, so you get free content while we support the site. AdSense stores cookies to show you ads that match your interests. cookentra doesn’t see or handle any data Google uses for personalization. For details, see Google’s privacy policies.
- Google Analytics: This tool records anonymous info about how visitors use cookentra—like how long you stay or what pages you view. It helps us learn which recipes are a hit and how to make things better. To collect this, Google Analytics might set cookies, but cookentra never gathers personal identifiers.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny bits of text that get saved on your device whenever you stop by a website. cookentra and its partners use these to boost your browsing experience:
- Advertising cookies: These are set by Google AdSense and help serve up ads that suit your habits or interests by tracking browsing patterns.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to gather general info about how you use cookentra. That data is combined to help us see what’s popular and to improve the site’s content and speed.
- Functional cookies: These are essential and let cookentra remember your settings—like your language or privacy choices—so everything works right. If you block them, some features could stop working.
By continuing to use cookentra, you’re okay with how we use cookies as described above. You’re always free to adjust, block, or delete cookies through your browser’s settings. Most browsers can notify you about cookies, let you erase them, or prevent them altogether. Keep in mind, though, that switching off cookies might change how cookentra or some other sites work for you.
Changes to this policy
This privacy policy could get updated in the future. If we make changes, it’s usually to reflect updates in what we do, when we add new services, or to stay up-to-date with legal rules. We’ll make sure to clearly mention any big changes on cookentra, maybe with a homepage note or a special announcement.
Look for the update date near the top of this document to see when things were last revised. We recommend checking this page every so often if you want to stay informed about cookentra’s privacy processes.
