General Introduction
Buz Kitchen is a platform filled with recipes that focuses on simplicity and user-friendliness. We don’t have user accounts and don’t directly collect your personal details. Therefore, we neither sell nor share any of your private information.
However, we think it’s important to explain how certain data might be gathered automatically through third-party services we use. This helps us offer a better experience, like tracking site stats, showing personalized ads, and embedding videos. This privacy policy is here to communicate clearly and transparently about these practices and how we ensure the safety of your data and protect your privacy while you browse Buz Kitchen.
Third-Party Services Utilized
To keep Buz Kitchen running smoothly and to provide recipe content free of charge, we use services from third parties. These tools let us understand how you interact with the site, fund our operations via ads, and enrich pages with video content. Here's a list of the main third-party services we work with:
- Google Analytics: This analytics tool from Google gathers anonymous data about site visits (e.g., pages viewed, time spent). These insights help us see which recipes are most popular and identify ways to improve the site. Google Analytics may use cookies for tracking, but Buz Kitchen does not collect any personally identifiable data through it.
- Google AdSense: Google's ad platform displays ads across our site. These advertisements help keep our content free. AdSense may use cookies to show you ads tailored to your browsing history. Buz Kitchen doesn’t access any personal data Google utilizes for ad personalization. For more information, visit Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This web traffic analysis service by Cloudflare monitors site performance and ensures it stays secure and fast. It collects aggregated data (like IP addresses and browsing details) but avoids using cookies to identify you individually.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we feature recipe videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned service). When you play a YouTube video on Buz Kitchen, YouTube/Google might set cookies to track video stats (e.g., views). If you're logged in with a Google account, YouTube may link your activity to your profile, but we don't have access to these details. Check YouTube’s privacy policy for more info.
