General Introduction
Spoon Margin is all about simple, enjoyable recipes for everyone. We don’t have user accounts and never gather your personal details ourselves, so your information is never sold or shared by us.
That said, third-party tools may automatically collect some data to make your site visit better—think traffic stats, video embeds, or smarter ads. This privacy policy aims to clearly walk you through these practices so you understand exactly how data is handled and your privacy stays protected when using Spoon Margin.
Third-party services we use
To keep Spoon Margin running smoothly and keep our recipes accessible to all, we rely on several outside services. These help us analyze site usage, pay the bills with ads, or provide video content. Here are some of the main external tools we use:
- Google Analytics: Offered by Google, this tool tracks general site activity—things like which pages are popular or how long people stay. That helps us understand what content works best and how to improve. Cookies may be involved for tracking, but Spoon Margin never sees any personally identifiable information.
- Google AdSense: This is Google’s advertising service, allowing us to show ads and keep content free. AdSense uses cookies to make ads more relevant to you, based on your browsing. Spoon Margin doesn’t access data Google uses for personalized ads. For details, you can check Google’s privacy guidelines.
- Cloudflare Analytics: From Cloudflare, this service helps us track overall traffic and monitor site speed, all without using cookies tied to your identity. It lets us spot and fix technical problems, making sure Spoon Margin stays fast and safe. The info Cloudflare gathers, like IP addresses, is grouped and never used to single anyone out.
- YouTube: Spoon Margin sometimes embeds videos hosted by YouTube (a Google service). Watching an embedded video may place YouTube/Google cookies to help with stats like view count. If you’re logged into Google, the view could be linked to your profile, but Spoon Margin doesn’t see any of this. For more info, check YouTube/Google's privacy info.
