General Introduction
LiLi Cooks focuses on sharing simple and friendly recipes. We don't offer user accounts, nor do we directly collect personal information. As such, we don't sell or share any of your personal data.
That said, certain data may be automatically collected via third-party services we use to enhance your experience, including analytics, ads, and embedded videos. This privacy policy aims to outline how these services work and how we ensure that your data and privacy remain protected while enjoying LiLi Cooks's content.
Third-Party Services Utilized
LiLi Cooks partners with third-party providers to run smoothly and ensure we can offer free recipe content. These services help us understand how visitors use the website, fund our platform through ads, and embed video content. Here's an overview of the main third-party services we rely on:
- Google Analytics: This Google tool anonymously tracks site traffic (e.g., visited pages, time on site). It helps us identify popular recipes and improve the site. Google Analytics may use cookies for tracking, but LiLi Cooks doesn't collect any identifiable personal data.
- Google AdSense: A Google advertising platform that displays ads to help fund our content. These ads keep our recipes free. While AdSense may use cookies to display relevant ads based on your behavior, LiLi Cooks doesn't access or store the personal data Google uses for ad personalization. Explore Google's privacy policy to learn more.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service monitors website performance and collects traffic insights without storing identifiable cookies. Data like IP addresses and web usage are aggregated to optimize our website's speed and detect technical issues. No personal identification is involved.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed recipe videos hosted on YouTube, owned by Google. Watching these videos may trigger YouTube/Google cookies for tracking the video statistics (e.g., views). If you're logged into your Google account, YouTube might link your viewing history to your profile, but LiLi Cooks doesn't have access to this information. For further details, check YouTube's privacy policy.
