General Introduction
Recipes by Marina is all about sharing easygoing, cheerful recipes. We skip user accounts and never gather your info directly. So, there's no selling or sharing of your personal details here.
Still, we think you should know how some data gets picked up automatically by third parties who help us shape your experience (like traffic stats, personalized ads, and embedded videos). This privacy policy clears up how we handle your privacy, what info is collected when you're visiting Recipes by Marina, and how your data stays protected.
Third-party services used
To run Recipes by Marina smoothly and keep our recipes free, we use some third-party tools. These give us insight into how folks interact with the site, support our recipes through ads, and bring you delicious videos. Here's a look at the top services working behind the scenes:
- Google Analytics: This audience analytics option from Google gathers anonymous info about site usage, such as which pages get visits and for how long. It gives us clues about popular recipes and ways to make Recipes by Marina better. Google Analytics might use cookies, but we don’t collect anything that could identify you personally.
- Google AdSense: This is Google’s ad system, letting us show ads on Recipes by Marina. Ads help pay for the site so we can keep content free. AdSense uses cookies to display ads that match your browsing. Recipes by Marina can’t see or access your personal info used for ad preferences. For more details, check Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare offers web traffic tracking without cookie-based identification. It monitors site speed and visitor flow, helping us spot issues and keep Recipes by Marina secure. All data, like IP addresses or navigation details, are combined and never used to single you out.
- YouTube: Sometimes, we embed recipe clips from YouTube (that's Google-owned, too). Watching these on Recipes by Marina may set cookies for tracking views or getting stats. If you’re signed into Google, YouTube might link your views to your account, but we never get that info. You can read more about this in YouTube or Google’s privacy policies.
