General Introduction
Grin Nosh stands as a food-focused recipe hub that champions ease and community spirit. We don't require user registrations and never directly gather your personal details. As a result, we neither market nor distribute any individualized information about you.
However, we'd like to clarify how certain information might be automatically gathered through external services we utilize to enhance your browsing journey (such as site analytics, customized advertisements and video content). This privacy statement seeks to provide clear, transparent insights about these practices and how we safeguard your information and privacy while you explore Grin Nosh.
Third-party services used
To ensure Grin Nosh runs smoothly and continues offering complimentary recipes, we employ various external partner services. These tools help us analyze site usage patterns, support our content through ads, and enhance our pages with video materials. Here's a breakdown of the key external services we incorporate:
- Google Analytics: This audience measurement tool from Google collects anonymous browsing statistics (like page views and session duration). These insights help us identify our most beloved recipes and refine our website. While Google Analytics might deploy cookies for data tracking, Grin Nosh doesn't collect any personally identifiable information about you.
- Google AdSense: This advertising solution allows promotional content to appear throughout our site. These advertisements enable us to maintain free access to our culinary content. AdSense might utilize cookies to display ads relevant to your interests. Grin Nosh cannot access the personal information Google uses for ad customization. You'll find more details in Google's privacy documentation.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This performance monitoring service helps us track site reliability and visitor flow without identity-tracking cookies. It assists us in spotting technical issues and maintaining a responsive, secure platform. The information Cloudflare gathers (including IP addresses and browsing patterns) is consolidated and not used for individual identification.
- YouTube: We occasionally incorporate cooking videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned platform). When viewing YouTube content on Grin Nosh, YouTube/Google may place cookies to monitor playback and compile viewing statistics. If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing activity with your profile, though we have no visibility into this data. YouTube/Google's privacy documentation provides additional information.
