General Introduction
joyofhealthycooking is a food-lover's site all about simple recipes and an easygoing atmosphere. You won't need to create an account, and we're never directly gathering any of your private info. That also means we're not selling or sharing details about you, ever.
Still, it's important you know some details can be picked up automatically by outside services that make your time here better—like tracking site visits, personalized ads, and embedded video content. We're laying out how these work and how joyofhealthycooking keeps your privacy protected while you browse.
Third-party services used
To keep joyofhealthycooking running smoothly and offer free recipes, we rely on a few third-party solutions. These partners help us track site usage, support our free content through ads, and spice up our pages with videos. Here's an overview of the main outside services joyofhealthycooking uses:
- Google Analytics: This tool, created by Google, gives us stats about our audience. It collects anonymous info about what pages people view and how much time they spend. These insights let us know what recipes are a hit and help us make the website better. While Google Analytics may use cookies, joyofhealthycooking never captures anything that can personally identify you.
- Google AdSense: With AdSense—Google's ad network—we're able to show advertisements on our site. These ads let us keep giving you free content. AdSense tracks your browsing habits via cookies to serve ads tailored to you. joyofhealthycooking doesn't see any of the personal info Google might use here. Want to know more? You can review Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare's web analytics keep tabs on site visitors and performance, and they don't use cookies linked to your identity. This helps us spot glitches and make sure joyofhealthycooking loads quickly and securely. Cloudflare collects things like IP addresses and browsing info, but it all stays anonymous and is never used to pinpoint you.
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll find recipe videos right on joyofhealthycooking, brought to you by YouTube (which is owned by Google). When you hit play, YouTube/Google might drop cookies to track how you watch and crunch stats, like view counts. If you happen to be logged in on your Google account, your viewing might be linked to your profile—but joyofhealthycooking can't access this at all. For details, check out the privacy policy published by YouTube/Google.
