General Introduction
Dulce Pantry is all about easy, welcoming recipes with zero hassle. You won't find user profiles here and we don't directly gather your personal info. That means we're not in the business of trading or giving away your private data.
Still, we'd like to walk you through how some details might get collected automatically through other companies we trust (think: site analytics, personalized ads, embedded video content). This privacy policy is designed to clearly explain what gets tracked, and show you the steps Dulce Pantry takes to protect your privacy while you browse our site.
Third-party services used
To keep Dulce Pantry running smoothly and to continue sharing our recipes at no cost to you, we partner with outside services. They help us understand your site experience, support Dulce Pantry through advertisements, and offer you rich content like videos. Here are the key third-party tools Dulce Pantry relies on:
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll find cooking videos from YouTube right in our recipes. Playing these videos on Dulce Pantry can set YouTube (Google) cookies which track viewing stats or play counts. If you're signed in to Google, your video history might be linked to your account, but Dulce Pantry never sees that info. You can learn more in YouTube or Google's own privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare checks how Dulce Pantry is performing by keeping an eye on website traffic. This service doesn't use cookies that could ID you, but does collect things like your IP address and browsing details (all this info is combined so you stay anonymous). It lets us quickly spot any problems and keep the site safe and speedy.
- Google AdSense: We display Google-powered ads on Dulce Pantry to keep our recipes free for everyone. AdSense uses cookies to match ads to your interests and browsing behavior. Dulce Pantry never accesses or stores any of the personal details Google uses to show you specific ads. For transparency, check out Google's privacy guide.
- Google Analytics: This tool from Google helps us learn about overall site usage—pages you visit or time spent with our content, for example. Google Analytics may track activity with cookies, but Dulce Pantry never sees anything that could personally identify you. It simply helps us improve which recipes you love or how our pages work, all by using broad, anonymous traffic data.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files that land on your device whenever you stop by most websites. Dulce Pantry and the companies we work with use these to give you a better experience as you browse:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense relies on these to show you ads. They log topics you've checked out, and let you see more relevant ads based on your interests or browsing.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to gather stats on Dulce Pantry's visitors and usage. Everything's reviewed in aggregate—so we improve site quality and content without identifying you personally.
- Functional cookies: These keep Dulce Pantry running the way it should. For example, they help remember language preferences or your consent choices. Without them, some features just won't work right.
If you use Dulce Pantry, you agree to us using cookies as described here. Want to manage or delete them? Just head to your browser's settings. Most browsers give you the option to block, erase, or get notified of cookies. Keep in mind, if you switch off cookies, it could impact how Dulce Pantry and some other websites work for you.
Changes to this policy
Our privacy policy can change from time to time. Dulce Pantry may update it for several reasons: new features on the site, shifts in our privacy practices, or to follow updated legal requirements. If something major comes up, we'll point it out clearly—like a notice on our homepage or a special message just for you.
At the top of this policy, you'll see the date it was last refreshed. We suggest checking back now and then to stay in the loop about how Dulce Pantry keeps your info secure.
