General Introduction
Kooky Crunch embraces a philosophy of culinary simplicity and friendly sharing. We've designed our recipe platform without user accounts, meaning we never directly gather your personal details. As a result, there's absolutely no selling or sharing of your personal information.
We'd like to explain, however, how certain data might be automatically collected through external services we utilize to enhance your browsing experience (such as site analytics, relevant advertising, and video content). This privacy statement aims to provide clear, transparent information about these practices and how we safeguard your privacy while you explore Kooky Crunch.
Third-party services used
To maintain Kooky Crunch's smooth operation and continue providing free culinary inspiration, we rely on several external service providers. These partners help us analyze site usage, support our content through advertising revenue, and enhance our pages with rich media. Here's a breakdown of the key third-party services we implement:
- Google Analytics: This Google-provided traffic analysis tool gathers anonymous data about site usage (including page popularity and time spent browsing). Such insights help us identify which recipes our visitors love most and how we can improve. While Google Analytics may employ cookies for tracking, Kooky Crunch never collects personally identifiable information about you.
- Google AdSense: This advertising solution displays relevant ads throughout our site, generating revenue that allows us to offer free content. AdSense might use cookies to show you tailored advertisements based on your browsing habits. Kooky Crunch cannot access any personal information Google uses for ad personalization. For additional details, please review Google's privacy documentation.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This performance monitoring service helps us track site efficiency and visitor patterns without using identifying cookies. It enables us to catch technical issues quickly and maintain a fast, secure browsing experience. Data gathered by Cloudflare (including IP addresses and navigation information) remains aggregated and isn't used to identify individual users.
- YouTube: Our site occasionally features embedded cooking videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned platform). When viewing these videos on Kooky Crunch, YouTube/Google may set cookies to monitor playback and compile statistics (like view counts). If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing activity to your profile, though we have no access to this information. YouTube/Google's privacy policy contains more details about their practices.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files that save to your device when visiting websites. Kooky Crunch and our partners use them to create a better browsing experience:
- Advertising cookies: Deployed by Google AdSense to display advertisements. These can track your interests and browsing patterns to present more relevant ads.
- Analytics cookies: Utilized by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to collect site traffic information. This aggregated data helps us understand how visitors navigate Kooky Crunch, allowing us to enhance content and performance.
- Functional cookies: These essential cookies ensure proper website functioning (such as saving language preferences or consent choices). Without them, certain features might become unavailable.
By using Kooky Crunch, you're acknowledging acceptance of cookie usage as outlined above. You can always manage or remove cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete them, or receive alerts before installation. Keep in mind that disabling cookies might affect your experience on Kooky Crunch and other websites you visit.
