General Introduction
Crumb Kiss stands as a delightful culinary hub focused on ease and community spirit. We operate without user accounts and never directly gather your personal details. As a result, we don't market or distribute any of your personal information to anyone.
However, we'd like to clarify how certain data might be automatically collected through third-party platforms we utilize to enhance your browsing journey (such as site analytics, customized ads, and video content). This privacy statement aims to provide clear, transparent information about these practices and how we safeguard your information and privacy while you explore Crumb Kiss.
Third-party services used
To ensure Crumb Kiss runs smoothly and to keep offering complimentary recipes, we employ various third-party services. These tools help us analyze site usage patterns, support our content through advertisements, and enhance our pages with video elements. Here's a breakdown of the main external services we implement:
- Google Analytics: This audience measurement tool from Google gathers anonymous data about site visits (including page popularity and time spent browsing). These insights help us identify our most appealing recipes and make site improvements. While Google Analytics might utilize cookies for tracking, Crumb Kiss doesn't collect anything that could personally identify you.
- Google AdSense: As Google's advertising solution, this platform enables ad placement throughout our site. These advertisements support our operations while maintaining free access to our content. AdSense might employ cookies to deliver relevant promotions based on your browsing history. Crumb Kiss cannot access any personal information Google uses for ad customization. You'll find more details in Google's privacy documentation.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This traffic analysis service from Cloudflare lets us monitor performance and visitor flow without identity-tracking cookies. It helps us identify potential technical problems and maintain a fast, secure site. The information Cloudflare collects (including IP addresses and navigation patterns) is consolidated and never used for individual identification.
- YouTube: We occasionally incorporate recipe videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned platform). When viewing YouTube content on Crumb Kiss, YouTube/Google may set cookies to monitor playback and gather statistics (like view counts). If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing activity to your profile, though we never access this information. For complete details, refer to YouTube/Google's privacy guidelines.
