General Introduction
Cocina Crush is a recipe platform that focuses on easy, joyful cooking. There are no user profiles and we never directly gather personal info about you. That means there's nothing to sell or share about you, ever.
But since we use some outside tools—like analytics, video embeds, or ads—we want you to know how limited, anonymous data could get collected automatically. This page is here to walk you through what happens behind the scenes, how Cocina Crush handles your privacy, and what that means for your browsing experience.
Third-party services we use
To keep Cocina Crush running smoothly—and offer all our recipes for free—we rely on select third-party providers. Their tools let us learn more about how folks use our site, help us cover costs, and bring you engaging videos. Here's a breakdown of the key outside services we work with:
- Google Analytics: Powered by Google, this tool shows us stats like page views and visit length so we can see what's popular and where we can do better. It uses cookies, but all details are anonymous, and Cocina Crush never collects anything personal about you.
- Google AdSense: With this Google service, we display ads to help fund Cocina Crush and keep recipes free. AdSense cookies tailor ads to your interests or browsing history, but Cocina Crush never sees your personal details. Find more info in Google’s own privacy terms.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Thanks to Cloudflare, we can check site performance and visitor patterns without cookies that reveal your identity. It helps us catch technical glitches and keep Cocina Crush speedy and safe. Any data (like IP or usage info) is grouped together and can't identify anyone individually.
- YouTube: Sometimes you’ll come across videos from our Cocina Crush channel, hosted on YouTube (which is part of Google). Watching these videos can set Google/YouTube cookies for stats like total views. If you’re logged into Google, YouTube might link that to your account, but Cocina Crush never sees any of it. You can find details on Google and YouTube’s privacy pages.
About cookies and your choices
Cookies are tiny bits of text saved on your device when you visit a website. Cocina Crush—and a few of our trusted partners—use them to give you a better experience, like so:
- Functional cookies: These make sure Cocina Crush works right. For example, they save your chosen language or cookie preferences. Some features might not run without them.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics, these help us get group data about how folks use the site. It lets us know what’s working and what needs tweaking—always without tracking you personally.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to serve ads that might suit your tastes or habits. It’s how we keep recipes free and relevant for you.
By hanging out on Cocina Crush, you agree to this cookie usage. You can handle or zap cookies in your browser settings—most browsers let you delete, block, or get alerted before new ones show up. Keep in mind, turning off cookies might make Cocina Crush (and some other sites) not work quite right.
