General Introduction
kitchenluma is all about sharing easy-to-follow recipes in a friendly, welcoming space. There aren't any accounts to create, so we don't gather your personal info directly. We never sell or hand over your details to others.
Still, we want to be clear about how some data might be gathered automatically through tools we use to enhance your visit—like analyzing site usage, serving ads, or showing you videos. This privacy policy breaks down how kitchenluma handles such data and what steps we take to keep your privacy safe while you browse our site.
Third-party services used
To keep kitchenluma running smoothly and our recipes free, we rely on several important third-party partners. They let us understand your interactions, support site funding, and bring in video content. Here are the key services we use:
- Google Analytics: Provided by Google, this tool gathers anonymous data like which pages you visit and how long you spend here. These insights help us see what you love most and guide us in making improvements. Google Analytics uses cookies for tracking, but kitchenluma won't ever receive anything that can identify you personally.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare's web analytics helps us monitor how the site runs and check visitor numbers, all without cookies that can pinpoint you. The information—like your IP and browsing activity—is put together with other data and doesn't tie back to you as an individual. This helps us quickly find and fix technical hiccups while keeping things fast and safe.
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll see embedded cooking videos from YouTube (owned by Google) on kitchenluma. Watching a video here may place cookies from YouTube/Google, which are used to count views and track plays. If you're logged into a Google account, they might connect your viewing with your profile, but kitchenluma can't see or access this info. You can check YouTube/Google's privacy policy for more details.
- Google AdSense: This advertising platform by Google lets us keep content free by displaying ads. AdSense can use cookies to show ads tailored to your interests as you browse. kitchenluma never sees or controls the personal data Google may use for these ads. You can find out more in Google's privacy policy.
