Overview
Gastronomy Globe is all about easy, enjoyable cooking. There's no need to sign up for an account and we don't gather your personal info ourselves. That means we won't sell or share anything about you.
Still, we'd like to let you know some data might get collected automatically by outside partners to help make your visit better (like site stats, customized ads, or embedded videos). This privacy notice is here to explain our process with real clarity, so you can see how we keep your privacy safe while you browse Gastronomy Globe.
External services we use
To deliver tasty recipes for free and keep Gastronomy Globe running smoothly, we work with a few third-party services. They're essential for learning how folks use the site, supporting content via ads, and enhancing pages with videos. Here's a rundown of our main partners:
- YouTube: Sometimes, our recipe pages feature YouTube-hosted videos. When you press play on a video at Gastronomy Globe, YouTube/Google may set cookies to track viewing stats and playback details (like view counts). If you're logged into your Google account, YouTube could link your watch history to your profile. We don't ever get access to that info. Want to know more? You can read YouTube/Google's privacy details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare boosts our site's speed and security and provides analytics about traffic and performance. Cloudflare collects aggregated data (such as IP address, navigation info) but won't use it to single out who you are. No identifying cookies get used for this analysis.
- Google AdSense: With AdSense, we display ads to support Gastronomy Globe's free content. AdSense uses cookies to show ads tailored to your interests and browsing activity. Our team doesn't see or access any personal info Google uses for customizing ads. For details, check out Google's privacy policies.
- Google Analytics: This audience tool collects general traffic stats (pages viewed, time spent) to help us spot favorite recipes and improve Gastronomy Globe. It might use cookies when tracking this data. No private details about you ever reach us through Google Analytics.
Cookie usage & choices
Cookies are tiny text files that show up on your device when you visit a website. Gastronomy Globe and its third-party services both use them to make your visit better:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense places these to bring you ads that match your interests or past browsing. They help show relevant ad content.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics rely on these to measure traffic and user activity, letting us understand how visitors move through Gastronomy Globe. These stats are combined and don't identify anyone personally.
- Essential cookies: These basic cookies are needed for the site to do its job (such as remembering language settings or your consent preferences). Without them, certain functions may not work as intended.
When you use Gastronomy Globe, you confirm that you're okay with our cookie practices as outlined. You can always set up or clear cookies inside your browser. Most browsers allow you to block, remove, or get alerts before cookies appear. Be aware: blocking cookies might impact your experience on Gastronomy Globe and elsewhere.
