General Introduction
Kitchen Prairie offers a food recipe platform focused on easy cooking and friendly sharing. We don't require user accounts and never directly gather your personal details. As a result, we're not in the business of trading or distributing any of your personal information.
Still, we'd like to explain how certain data might be automatically collected through third-party tools we utilize to enhance your browsing experience (such as site analytics, customized ads and video content). This privacy statement aims to provide clear, transparent information about these practices and how we safeguard your data and privacy while you explore Kitchen Prairie.
Third-party services used
To maintain Kitchen Prairie's smooth operation and continue providing complimentary recipes, we employ various third-party services. These tools help us analyze site usage, support our content through advertising revenue, and enhance our pages with video materials. Here's a breakdown of the key third-party services we utilize:
- Google Analytics: This audience measurement tool from Google gathers anonymous data about site traffic (such as page visits and session duration). These insights help us identify our most beloved recipes and ways to enhance the site. While Google Analytics may deploy cookies to collect this information, Kitchen Prairie doesn't gather any personally identifying details about you.
- Google AdSense: This advertising solution from Google enables ad displays throughout our platform. These advertisements help fund our operations while keeping our content free for you. AdSense might use cookies to display relevant promotions based on your browsing habits. Kitchen Prairie cannot access the personal information Google uses for ad customization. You'll find more details in Google's privacy documentation.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This traffic analysis system provided by Cloudflare allows us to track site performance and visitor flow without identity-tracking cookies. It helps us identify potential technical problems and maintain a fast, secure platform. The information Cloudflare collects (including IP addresses and navigation data) is consolidated and never used to personally identify individual users.
- YouTube: We occasionally incorporate cooking videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned service). When viewing YouTube content on Kitchen Prairie, YouTube/Google cookies might be installed to monitor video playback and gather statistics (like view counts). If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing activity with your profile, though we never access this information. For complete details, refer to YouTube/Google's privacy documentation.
