General Introduction
Cinnamon Nest stands as a culinary haven that embraces simplicity and friendly sharing. We operate without user accounts and never directly gather your personal details. As a result, we don't sell or share any individual data about our visitors.
We'd still like to explain how certain information might be automatically collected through third-party tools we employ to enhance your browsing (such as site analytics, customized ads and video content). This privacy statement aims to transparently communicate these practices and how we safeguard your information and privacy while you explore Cinnamon Nest.
Third-party services used
To ensure Cinnamon Nest runs smoothly and to keep providing free recipes, we utilize several third-party services. These tools help us analyze site usage patterns, support our content through advertising revenue, and enhance our pages with video materials. Here's a breakdown of the main external services we incorporate:
- Google Analytics: This audience measurement tool from Google collects anonymous traffic data (like page views and session duration). Such insights help us identify our most beloved recipes and make site improvements. While Google Analytics may deploy cookies for tracking this information, Cinnamon Nest doesn't collect any personally identifying details.
- Google AdSense: This advertising system allows us to display ads throughout our site. These advertisements help fund our operations while keeping content free for everyone. AdSense might use cookies to display relevant promotions based on your browsing habits. Cinnamon Nest cannot access the personal information Google uses for ad personalization. You'll find more details in Google's privacy documentation.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This traffic analysis service monitors our site performance without using identifying cookies. It helps us spot technical issues and maintain a speedy, secure browsing experience. Any data Cloudflare collects (including IP addresses and navigation information) gets aggregated and isn't used to identify individual visitors.
- YouTube: We occasionally embed cooking videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned platform). When viewing these videos on Cinnamon Nest, YouTube/Google may place cookies to track playback and gather statistics (like view counts). If you're signed into Google, YouTube might link your viewing activity with your account, though we never access this information. YouTube/Google's privacy policy provides additional details.
