General Introduction
yumzara is a recipe platform focused on making cooking easy and friendly for everyone. There aren't any user accounts here—so yumzara doesn't directly gather your personal info, and we never sell or give away details about you.
Still, some third-party services we use can automatically collect certain data. Things like traffic analytics, personalized ads and embedded videos help us boost your experience. This privacy policy spells out, in simple terms, what these services do and how yumzara works to protect your privacy while you browse yumzara.
Third-party services used
To keep yumzara running smoothly and provide you recipes for free, we use several external services. These tools let us understand how people use yumzara, fund our content through advertising, and add videos to our pages. Here are the main third-party services we rely on:
- YouTube: Sometimes we feature recipe videos by embedding them from YouTube (part of Google). When you view a YouTube video on yumzara, YouTube or Google might place cookies to collect playback stats (such as views). If you're signed in to your Google account, your viewing may be connected to your profile, but yumzara can't access any of that information. For the full details, check YouTube/Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare's analytics service tracks website performance and visits without cookies that identify you personally. It helps us spot technical issues and keep yumzara fast and secure. Cloudflare gathers data (including your IP address and browsing actions) in a way that doesn't let us identify you as an individual.
- Google AdSense: AdSense is Google’s advertising network that places ads across our site. This enables yumzara to offer free content and display sponsored messages. AdSense uses cookies to show relevant ads tailored to your interests and browsing, but yumzara never sees any of this personal ad data. To learn more, visit Google's privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: This is a tool from Google for tracking site usage, collecting anonymous data like page views and time spent on yumzara. It lets us discover which recipes are hits and what needs to improve. While Google Analytics uses cookies to gather stats, yumzara itself doesn’t capture anything that would reveal your identity.
