General Introduction
flavorribbon is a recipe platform designed for simplicity and a friendly atmosphere. You won't need an account and we don't directly gather details that personally identify you. That means we never sell or share your personal info.
Still, we think it's important to tell you how some information could be picked up automatically by outside services we use to keep things running smoothly—like seeing how folks use our site, customizing ads, or playing videos. This privacy policy lays out, in plain language, how flavorribbon handles these tools and protects your privacy every time you browse flavorribbon.
Third-party services used
To keep flavorribbon up and running—and to bring you free recipes—we rely on several outside companies. Their tools help us make sense of how people use flavorribbon, support the site financially with ads, and host recipe videos. Here's a look at the main services we partner with:
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll find videos from YouTube (owned by Google) right on flavorribbon. When you play these, YouTube or Google cookies might be placed to collect data like how many people watched. If you're signed in to your Google account, your views could be linked to your profile, but flavorribbon never sees this data. For more info, check out YouTube or Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare gives us site stats and helps keep everything secure. It lets us watch general site traffic and speed, but doesn't use cookies that identify you. All info gathered (like IP addresses or site activity) gets aggregated so you're not singled out.
- Google AdSense: This Google's tool helps show ads on flavorribbon, which lets us keep our recipes free for everyone. AdSense can set cookies to show you ads tailored to your browsing habits. flavorribbon doesn't access Google's personal ad data. For the details, check out Google's privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics tracks general visitor stats (like which pages are hit and how long people linger). This helps flavorribbon see what's popular or where to improve. While Analytics might use cookies, flavorribbon doesn't see personal info from you, just overall patterns.
