Introduction Overview
Cookory Box is a recipe hub that prioritizes simplicity and a user-friendly approach. We don’t require user accounts and therefore don’t gather personal data directly. As a result, there’s no selling or sharing of your personal details.
However, it's important to share how some data might be automatically accessed through third-party tools that enhance your experience (like traffic insights, personalized ads, and embedded videos). This privacy document explains these processes transparently and highlights how Cookory Box protects your data and privacy while browsing on our platform.
Utilized Third-Party Tools
To keep Cookory Box functioning properly and continue sharing free recipes, we rely on third-party services. These tools help analyze site usage, support content through advertising, and add video content to our pages. Key services we use include:
- Google Analytics: A service from Google for analyzing audience behavior, which gathers anonymized traffic data (e.g., visited pages, time spent). It helps us recognize popular recipes and focus on improvements. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information, although Cookory Box doesn’t access personal identifying details.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform enables ads on our site. Ads help fund content while keeping it free for users. AdSense may use cookies for relevant ads based on browsing patterns. Cookory Box doesn’t have access to personal details collected by Google for ad targeting. You can check Google's privacy policy to learn more.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare offers a traffic monitoring tool to ensure site speed and problem detection. This analysis is cookie-free and uses aggregate data (e.g., browsing patterns, IP addresses) without identifying users individually.
- YouTube: Occasionally, our pages feature recipes with YouTube-hosted videos. Watching these videos may trigger YouTube/Google cookies for playback tracking and video statistics collection. If logged into your Google account, YouTube might associate viewing data with your profile. However, Cookory Box doesn’t access any of this information. For more details, refer to YouTube/Google's privacy policy.
