Welcome and Overview
Sunny Spoonful is your go-to recipe site where simplicity and fun come first. We don’t require accounts, and there’s no direct collection of your personal data. As a result, we never share or sell your private details.
Even so, some data might be gathered automatically through third-party tools we use to enhance your experience, like tracking site traffic, personalizing ads, or embedding videos. This privacy policy clearly explains these practices and highlights how Sunny Spoonful safeguards your information every time you visit our site.
Services We Rely On
To keep Sunny Spoonful running smoothly and to provide free access to our recipes, we utilize several external services. These services help us understand site usage patterns, support our content through advertising, and enrich pages by adding videos. Below are the primary third-party tools we use:
- Google Analytics: This analytics tool from Google anonymously tracks site usage, such as page visits and time spent. It helps us identify popular recipes and improve your experience. Google Analytics might use cookies to gather these insights, but Sunny Spoonful doesn’t access any data that directly identifies you.
- Google AdSense: AdSense enables us to display ads, which help fund the site while keeping it free for you. Cookies may be employed to show ads relevant to your preferences. Sunny Spoonful does not access personal data utilized by Google for ad optimization. To learn more, check Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service from Cloudflare lets us monitor site performance and traffic without employing personally identifiable cookies. By collecting aggregated data, we can pinpoint technical problems and ensure the platform remains secure and speedy.
- YouTube: Recipe-related videos hosted on YouTube may appear on Sunny Spoonful. Watching these videos could lead to YouTube or Google placing cookies that track video usage stats like view counts. If logged into your Google account, YouTube might connect your viewing history with your profile. However, this data isn't accessible to us. For more on this, refer to Google and YouTube’s privacy policy.
