Overview
Recipes by nova is a recipe-sharing platform focused on simplicity and a user-friendly approach. We don’t require user accounts, nor do we directly gather your personal information. This means we don't sell or distribute your private data.
That said, some data may be collected automatically through third-party services designed to improve your browsing experience, such as analytics tools, relevant advertisements, and embedded video content. In this policy, we’ll outline how these tools work and how your privacy is safeguarded while browsing Recipes by nova.
External Services We Use
To ensure seamless use of Recipes by nova and to keep recipes freely accessible, we rely on certain third-party services. These tools assist us in analyzing site usage, funding content via ads, and enriching recipes with engaging videos. Below are the main platforms we operate with:
- Google Analytics: A web traffic analysis tool by Google that captures anonymous data such as visited pages and time spent on the site. This helps us determine the most loved recipes and optimize our content. Although cookies may be used to track this data, Recipes by nova doesn’t access information that personally identifies you.
- Google AdSense: An ad platform by Google that displays advertisements across our site. These ads fund the site and allow us to share free content. AdSense may use cookies to show you ads that are aligned with your browsing history, but Recipes by nova doesn’t access or store any personal data involved in ad customization. For more, visit Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: A traffic analytics tool from Cloudflare that helps us measure site performance and activity without employing cookies for identifying users. It provides insights into technical issues while keeping the site secure and fast. The data collected, such as IP addresses and browsing behavior, is aggregated and anonymous.
- YouTube: Occasionally, video recipes hosted on YouTube are embedded in our content. Watching these videos might initiate cookies placed by YouTube/Google to gather viewing statistics (e.g., number of plays). If logged into a Google account, YouTube might link your activity with your profile, though Recipes by nova has no access to such data. Learn more by reviewing YouTube/Google’s privacy policy.
