Overview of Privacy Practices
Sarah Meal is a simple and welcoming recipe platform. We don't use user accounts and don’t gather personal data directly from you. So, your information isn’t sold or shared.
That said, some details might be collected automatically by third-party tools we use to improve your experience, like tracking site usage, tailoring ads, or embedding videos. This privacy policy explains these practices to show how we prioritize your privacy and protect your data while you explore Sarah Meal.
Services from Third Parties
To keep Sarah Meal functioning smoothly and free to access, we depend on resources from third parties. These services help us analyze site activity, fund our free content through ads, and enhance pages by embedding videos. Here’s a quick overview of the third-party services we rely on:
- Google Analytics: Google’s analytical tool tracks anonymized site metrics, like which recipes are viewed most often or how long users stay on certain pages. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information, but Sarah Meal doesn’t store any personal details about you.
- Google AdSense: This Google advertising tool supports Sarah Meal by showing ads. Ads might be customized to your browsing patterns using cookies. However, we don’t access any personal data collected by Google. You can check Google's privacy policy for more specifics.
- Cloudflare Analytics: A tool offered by Cloudflare that monitors traffic and website performance, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Cloudflare doesn't rely on cookies to identify users. Visitor details, such as IP addresses and browsing patterns, are aggregated and non-identifiable.
- YouTube: Some recipes on Sarah Meal include video tutorials from YouTube (owned by Google). Watching these videos may prompt YouTube or Google to set cookies on your device, helping them track engagement metrics. If you’re signed in to a Google account, your activity might be linked to your profile, though Sarah Meal doesn’t access this data. For additional details, visit YouTube’s privacy policy.
