General Introduction
At pinmealmagic, we’re all about making cooking straightforward and bringing people together. We don’t use user accounts, and we never directly gather your private details. That means we don’t sell or hand out anything personal about you.
However, we’d like to lay out how some info could get collected automatically through the third-party tools we rely on to make your visit better—like for analytics, embedded videos, or personalizing ads. This privacy policy’s here to explain in plain English how these features work and what steps pinmealmagic takes to look after your info and privacy as you browse around.
Third-party services used
To keep pinmealmagic running smoothly—and to keep the recipes free—we partner with a few outside services. These providers help us measure how folks use our site, support our videos, and keep everything funded through ads. Here’s who we team up with:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This tool lets us keep an eye on pinmealmagic’s speed and performance without using cookies tied to who you are. By reviewing info like your device's IP or browsing patterns, we can spot things that need fixing and keep pinmealmagic fast. Everything Cloudflare collects is grouped together, and nothing’s used to single out any particular user.
- YouTube: Some of our recipes include videos through YouTube (a Google service). When you hit play, YouTube/Google cookies might track stats like total views and playback, and—if you’re logged in—possibly connect your viewing to your Google account. We don’t see or access any of that personal data. For details, check YouTube/Google's privacy policy.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad network makes it possible for us to show you ads, which helps us keep everything free. AdSense might use cookies to show you more relevant ads based on how you browse. pinmealmagic never sees the personal info Google uses for ad targeting. More info’s available in Google’s privacy policy if you’re curious.
- Google Analytics: We use this Google product to find out how pinmealmagic’s being used—such as which pages are most popular and how long people hang out. It collects anonymous data about traffic, like which recipes get the most love. Google Analytics uses browser cookies, but pinmealmagic itself can’t see anything that identifies you outright.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are just little text files your browser saves when you visit pinmealmagic. Both we and our partners use them to boost your experience while you're here:
- Advertising cookies: These are set by Google AdSense to help you see ads that actually fit your interests. They keep track of what you like or browse so ads can be more on point.
- Functional cookies: These are must-haves for things to work like they should, such as remembering your preferences or keeping track of any consents you give. Take them away, and some parts of pinmealmagic might stop working.
- Analytics cookies: These types, managed by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics, gather data on site visits and what people do on pinmealmagic. It’s always grouped up—not personal—so we can figure out what’s working and where to improve.
By using pinmealmagic, you’re saying you’re fine with the cookie use outlined here. Want to change that? You can tweak or erase cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you stop, remove, or get notified about cookies before they’re added. Keep in mind: disabling cookies could impact how pinmealmagic and other sites work for you.
Changes to this policy
Our privacy approach might change from time to time. We occasionally update this page to match shifts in our services or privacy practices, or when there’s new law to follow. If anything important comes up, you’ll see a note clearly posted on the site (like a banner or special notice).
The date up top tells you when we last tweaked this policy. Checking in every so often will keep you up-to-date with how pinmealmagic looks after your privacy.
