Overview
Mellie Recipes is dedicated to sharing easy-to-follow recipes and baking inspiration. We don’t need user accounts, which means we don’t directly gather personal information from users. Your data is never sold or shared with others.
However, some data might be automatically collected through external tools we use. These tools focus on improving your experience by providing site analytics, relevant ads, and embedding videos. This policy explains our practices and outlines how Mellie Recipes prioritizes your privacy while you enjoy mellierecipes.com.
Tools We Rely On
To keep Mellie Recipes running smoothly and recipes free to access, we rely on third-party tools. These tools analyze site performance, serve ads, and allow us to include videos. Below are the main services we use:
- Google Analytics: This tracks how users interact with the site (like page visits and time spent on a page) using anonymous data collection. Mellie Recipes doesn't access personal details. The insights help us figure out what our audience enjoys so we can improve our content.
- Google AdSense: This Google advertising service displays tailored ads that fund our website. It uses cookies to match ads to user activity, but Mellie Recipes doesn’t have access to the personal data Google might use for customization. For more details, visit Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare handles performance metrics and traffic data to optimize mellierecipes.com. No cookies are used to identify individuals, and only aggregated data like browser type or IP addresses is collected. This data ensures a secure and efficient browsing experience.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed baking tutorials or recipe videos hosted on YouTube (a Google platform). Watching these may result in YouTube setting cookies to log view statistics. If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing history to your profile. Mellie Recipes doesn’t access YouTube’s data. Visit YouTube’s privacy policy for further details.
