General Introduction
bountyandbasil is your friendly online spot for straightforward recipes. We don’t have user logins, and we never directly ask for your details. That means we won’t sell or share anything personal about you.
Still, some info might be gathered automatically by outside services that help us improve bountyandbasil—for things like site analytics, personalized ads, and showing embedded videos. Here’s a privacy policy that breaks down what gets collected, why it happens, and how bountyandbasil works to keep your browsing secure and your privacy protected.
Third-party services used
To keep bountyandbasil running smoothly and ensure our recipes are always free for you, we rely on outside providers. These partners help us learn how the site's used, support our free content via ads, and add videos to our pages. Here’s a look at the third-party services bountyandbasil utilizes:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Powered by Cloudflare, this tool gives us insights into site usage and performance. It collects data like your IP address, all in aggregate—never for identifying individual users. Cloudflare doesn’t use cookies that track who you are, just the technical stats we need to prevent problems and keep the site speedy.
- YouTube: Sometimes, you’ll watch recipe videos right on bountyandbasil, and these are hosted by YouTube. When you play a YouTube video, cookies might get set to track views or how long you watch. If you’re signed into your Google account, YouTube could link these views to your profile. bountyandbasil never has access to that data. Learn more by reading YouTube’s and Google’s privacy policies.
- Google AdSense: For display ads that make our free recipes possible, we use this advertising service. AdSense cookies can store details about your browsing to show ads that matter to you. bountyandbasil doesn’t get to see your personal info; only Google uses it, and you can check out Google’s privacy info for details.
- Google Analytics: This is Google’s tool for tracking visitor stats, like which pages people read and how long they stay. Google Analytics might set cookies to help us learn what content’s working, but it never tells us who you are. bountyandbasil only sees anonymous numbers, so your privacy stays intact.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are basically small files saved to your device when you visit websites. bountyandbasil and our partners use cookies to make sure you have the smoothest possible experience:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to better match ads to your interests and browsing history. The aim is to show ads that actually matter to you.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics to help us understand how people move around bountyandbasil. This info is combined and gives us a big-picture look at site traffic and usage so we can make things better.
- Functional cookies: These keep the site running as it should, like remembering if you’ve set a language preference or your cookie permissions. Some features just won’t work without them.
By continuing to browse bountyandbasil, you’re agreeing to the cookies described here. You can handle cookies any time through your browser settings—block or remove them, or set alerts before they’re placed. Just be aware that turning off cookies could make bountyandbasil or other sites trickier to use.
Changes to this policy
This privacy statement might change as things evolve. We’ll update it if we tweak our practices or bring in new tools, or if there are any new laws we need to comply with. If something important changes, bountyandbasil will make sure it’s easy to spot—maybe with a banner on the homepage or a dedicated notification.
The revision date up top shows when we last made edits. We suggest checking back here now and then to keep up with how bountyandbasil looks after your data privacy.
