Overview
cookandcrisp is all about simple, social cooking. There's no need to make an account and we don't ask for your personal info. That means we never sell or share anything about you.
Even so, we want you to know some data may be automatically gathered through third-party tools we use—like stats trackers, embedded videos, or personalized ads. This privacy page will walk you through what gets collected, how it's handled, and how cookandcrisp keeps your experience safe and private as you explore our site.
Our use of external services
To help run cookandcrisp smoothly and keep recipes available for free, we rely on a few third-party partners. These services give us traffic insights, allow us to show ads to fund the site, and let us add videos to certain pages. Here’s a rundown of the main third-party tools in use at cookandcrisp:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare gives us a look at general site performance and visitor numbers. It doesn't use cookies that can identify you directly. This helps us spot technical hiccups and keeps everything fast and protected. The information Cloudflare collects—like your IP address or browser data—is bundled together so nobody is identified on their own.
- Google AdSense: AdSense runs the ads you might see on cookandcrisp. These sponsored spots help us keep recipes free for you. AdSense may remember some info via cookies to show ads that match your interests. cookandcrisp has no access to the personal details Google uses in their ad system. Check out Google’s privacy page if you want to know more.
- YouTube: Sometimes we embed videos from YouTube on our recipe pages (YouTube’s part of Google). When you play a video, YouTube/Google may set cookies to log playback and stats like view counts. If you’re signed into Google, YouTube might link what you watch to your account. cookandcrisp doesn't see this user-specific data. For further details, read YouTube/Google's privacy info.
- Google Analytics: This is Google’s analytics platform, which helps cookandcrisp see which recipes are hot and learn how visitors move around the site. Google Analytics records things like pages visited and time spent, but not anything that reveals your identity. Cookies may be used, but cookandcrisp does not collect personally identifying info with these tools.

When you come to cookandcrisp, small text files called cookies may be saved on your device. cookandcrisp and our partners use cookies to make your browsing easier and better:
- Functional cookies: These are key for basic site features, like saving your language settings or remembering which options you chose. Without them, some stuff just won’t work right.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to display ads that fit your interests and habits. It’s how we help pay for the site while keeping content free.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics collect stats about how people use cookandcrisp. This info is general, not linked to you personally, but helps us know what people enjoy and what needs fixing.
