Services by External Providers
To keep Buddy Bites Kitchen running smoothly and to offer free access to recipes, we rely on several external service providers. These tools help us understand how the site is being used, support our content through ads, and embed engaging videos. Here’s an overview of the primary services we use:
- Google Analytics: A tool from Google that provides anonymous website traffic stats, such as which pages visitors view and for how long. This data gives us insights to improve your experience and highlight popular recipes. Google Analytics uses cookies to monitor traffic, but Buddy Bites Kitchen doesn’t access personal identification data.
- Google AdSense: This platform from Google delivers ads on our website, helping us fund free content. It uses cookies to show ads that might interest you based on your online activity. Buddy Bites Kitchen doesn’t obtain the personal data involved in the ad personalization process. You can review Google’s privacy practices for further details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: A performance tracking service provided by Cloudflare. It helps us analyze and manage website traffic without using cookies to identify you. Data like IP addresses and browsing habits are aggregated to monitor site health, detect issues, and ensure secure, fast access.
- YouTube: Occasionally, Buddy Bites Kitchen embeds recipe tutorial videos hosted on YouTube (owned by Google). Watching these videos might trigger cookies that collect viewing stats like playback duration or video popularity. If logged into your Google account, your viewing activity may link to your profile. Buddy Bites Kitchen doesn’t see this data directly. For more details, check out YouTube or Google’s privacy policy.
