General Introduction
Flavors Fuse is a recipe-focused website that emphasizes ease of use and a welcoming environment. We don’t use user accounts or collect your personal details directly. As a result, we don’t sell or share any of your personal information.
That said, we'd like to clarify how certain details might get automatically collected through third-party services we use to improve your experience. These include tools like traffic analytics, targeted advertisements, and embedded videos. This privacy policy is designed to be transparent and inform you clearly about how your data and privacy are secured while navigating Flavors Fuse.
Third-Party Services We Use
To keep Flavors Fuse running smoothly and offer recipes to you for free, we utilize tools provided by third parties. These services assist us in understanding how visitors engage with the site, support the platform financially through ads, and add value by embedding videos. Below are the main third-party services we rely on:
- Google Analytics: This is a visitor analytics tool from Google that gathers anonymous data on site usage (e.g., pages viewed, time spent). These insights help us identify the most popular recipes and improve site functionality. Google Analytics may use cookies to track this data, but Flavors Fuse doesn’t process any personal information that could identify you.
- Google AdSense: Google’s advertising platform helps us display ads on the site, which allows us to fund our content while keeping it free for you. AdSense may deploy cookies to show you ads based on your browsing habits. Flavors Fuse doesn’t access the personal data Google uses for ad customization. For further details, refer to Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This web traffic analytics tool from Cloudflare monitors site performance and usage without relying on cookies that identify individuals. It helps us detect technical problems and ensure Flavors Fuse stays fast and secure. Data collected by Cloudflare, such as IP addresses and browsing details, is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed recipe videos hosted on YouTube (a Google service). When you watch a YouTube video on Flavors Fuse, YouTube/Google may place cookies to track the video playback and collect stats (e.g., view counts). If you’re logged into your Google account, YouTube might link the video views to your profile, but Flavors Fuse doesn’t access any of this data. Check YouTube/Google’s privacy policy for more details.
