General Overview
Cooking Offset is all about easy recipes shared in a warm, welcoming space. We don't have user registrations. That means we never gather your personal details or sell or share info about you—ever.
Still, to help make Cooking Offset better, we partner with a few outside services. These providers may automatically collect certain data—like analytics, ad info, or video playback details. This privacy policy will walk you through how this works, which services are involved, and how we prioritize your privacy any time you visit Cooking Offset.
Our Third-Party Service Providers
To keep Cooking Offset running smoothly and free for everyone, we rely on some trusted third-party partners. They help us see what works, bring you helpful features, and support our free content with ads and videos. Check out the main services we use:
- Google Analytics: Powered by Google, this tool lets us see big-picture trends like which pages are popular or how long folks stay. Data is anonymous and collected through cookies. Cooking Offset never accesses anything that identifies you directly.
- Google AdSense: Using Google’s ad system, we can keep recipes free for you. AdSense may use cookies to show ads that make sense for your interests as you browse. We don’t see or use personal data for ad targeting. Read more in Google’s privacy info if you want details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service from Cloudflare monitors how our site is performing and tracks overall visitor numbers. No cookies that can identify you are used. Info like IP addresses or device type might be gathered, but it’s all grouped together and not tied to individuals.
- YouTube: Sometimes, Cooking Offset includes step-by-step recipe videos from YouTube. Watching a YouTube clip here means Google/YouTube can set cookies to follow video views or manage stats, like counting plays. If you’re logged into Google, YouTube could link the viewing to your account—but we never see any of that info. Google and YouTube’s privacy policies have the full scoop.
About Cookies and Your Control
Cookies are little bits of text saved on your device any time you browse a site. Both Cooking Offset and our third-party partners use cookies to give you a smoother experience:
- Functional cookies: These are needed for things like site language settings or tracking your consent preferences. The site just doesn't work right for you without these.
- Analytics cookies: Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics use these to see how visitors use Cooking Offset. All info is looked at together, helping us improve the content and site performance without linking it to you personally.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses cookies to show ads based on general interests or what you've looked at before, so ads are a better fit for you.
By browsing Cooking Offset, you're agreeing to these uses of cookies as described. If you’d like, you can control or erase cookies in your own browser's settings. Most browsers let you do things like block cookies altogether, delete them, or get warnings before they’re set. Be aware that turning off cookies could make Cooking Offset (or some other sites) not work as smoothly for you.
