General Introduction
Bake it Good is a cooking recipe website that emphasizes user-friendliness and simplicity. We don't have user accounts, and we don’t collect your personal data directly. So we don’t sell or share any of your private information.
That said, we're committed to explaining how some data might be automatically collected via third-party tools we use to improve your experience (like analytics, tailored ads, and embedded videos). This privacy policy is designed to give you clear, straightforward details about these practices and how we safeguard your data and privacy while navigating Bake it Good.
Third-Party Services Used
To run Bake it Good smoothly and continue offering recipes for free, we rely on various third-party services. These tools help us understand how you use the site, support our platform with ads, and enrich pages with video content. Here are the main third-party services we use:
- Google Analytics: A tool provided by Google that tracks usage data, like the pages visited and time spent on the site. This helps us learn what recipes are popular and how to make the site better. Google Analytics uses cookies to log this data, but Bake it Good does not acquire any personally identifiable info.
- Google AdSense: Google's ad platform, which displays ads on our site. These ads fund Bake it Good, keeping our content free. AdSense cookies may show you relevant ads based on your browsing. However, Bake it Good has no access to your personal data used by Google to customize ads. For more details, check Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: A service from Cloudflare that monitors site performance and traffic without using cookies to personally track you. This helps us fix technical issues and ensure our site stays fast and secure. Data collected by Cloudflare (like IP addresses and navigation patterns) is aggregated and non-identifiable.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we include recipe videos hosted on YouTube (part of Google). Watching a YouTube video within Bake it Good might result in YouTube/Google placing cookies to track views and stats. If signed into your Google account, YouTube might associate views with your profile—something Bake it Good cannot access. Learn more from YouTube/Google’s privacy policy.
