General Introduction
cooknookblog is all about simple, joyful cooking. There aren't any user accounts here and we don't gather your personal information ourselves. So, we never sell or hand out anything about you to anyone else.
However, we do want you to know that certain bits of data might be picked up automatically by outside tools we rely on to make your visit better—like traffic stats, personalized ads, and embedded videos. This privacy policy walks you through how that works and what cooknookblog does to keep your info and privacy safe when you're browsing the site.
Third-party services used
cooknookblog runs smoothly and stays free partly thanks to a few outside services. These third-party tools help us see how people use the site, support our content with ads, and add features like video clips. Here are the main third-party services we rely on:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Service from Cloudflare that tracks website performance and visitors without cookies that identify you personally. The info—like your IP address and which pages you visit—is pooled, not linked to individuals. It helps us spot technical issues and keep things secure and fast.
- YouTube: We sometimes share recipes with video content that's hosted on YouTube (you'll see it right on cooknookblog.com). Playing one of these videos means YouTube/Google cookies might note stats such as views and playbacks. If you have a Google account and are signed in, YouTube could link your video activity to your profile. But cooknookblog never has access to any of this personal info. For details, check YouTube/Google's privacy notices.
- Google AdSense: Platform that lets us display relevant advertising on cooknookblog.com—helping cover costs and letting you access everything for free. AdSense may use cookies to tailor ads to your interests based on how you browse. cooknookblog doesn't see or use any personal data from Google for ad personalization. If you'd like details, take a look at Google's privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Tool for analyzing traffic from Google that collects anonymous usage data, like which posts are popular or how long a session lasts. We use these reports to figure out what content you love and how to improve the site. Google Analytics might use cookies but doesn't share any identifying info with cooknookblog.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files that save to your device when you stop by a site. Both cooknookblog and our third-party partners use cookies to make your experience better while you're here:

- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to gather info on site visits and trends. This anonymous data helps us see how you interact with cooknookblog and guides us to enhance site speed and content.
- Functional cookies: These are basic, but essential—they let the website remember things like your language or your privacy selections. Some parts of cooknookblog.com just don’t work right without them.
