General Introduction
Welcome to Smoky Feast, where we've created a hassle-free culinary hub without user accounts or direct data collection. You'll be glad to know we never trade or distribute any personal information about our visitors.
We'd like to share how certain automated data gathering happens through our third-party partnerships that enhance your browsing experience. These include things like site analytics, customized ads, and video content. Here's a straightforward look at our privacy practices and how we safeguard your information while you explore Smoky Feast.
Third-party services used
To keep Smoky Feast running smoothly and maintain our free recipe collection, we've partnered with several service providers. They help us analyze site usage, support our content through ads, and deliver engaging video features. Here's what you should know about our key partners:
- Google Analytics: This tracking tool gathers anonymous usage data like page views and visit duration. We use these insights to highlight our most beloved recipes and enhance your experience. While Analytics uses cookies, Smoky Feast never collects personally identifiable details.
- Google AdSense: This advertising system keeps our content free through targeted ad placement. It might use cookies to customize your ad experience, but Smoky Feast can't access your personal information. Check out Google's privacy policy for the complete picture.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This cookie-free monitoring system helps us track site performance and visitor flow. It lets us spot technical hiccups and maintain quick loading times. While it processes IP addresses and browsing data, everything's aggregated without individual identification.
- YouTube: Our embedded recipe videos come from YouTube's platform. Watching these might trigger YouTube/Google cookies for tracking views and playback stats. If you're signed into Google, they might link viewing habits to your account, but we can't see this data. YouTube's privacy policy has more details.
