General Introduction
Chrome Pantry is your go-to recipe hub designed for easy use and a welcoming vibe. There's no need to create an account, and we won't ask for your personal details. That means your data isn't sold or shared with anyone.
Still, it's important to explain how some information could be automatically gathered by third-party tools we rely on for site improvements (like traffic analysis, personalized ads, and built-in videos). This privacy statement is here to clearly outline these practices and show how we keep your privacy protected when you're exploring Chrome Pantry.
Third-party services we use
Chrome Pantry depends on select third-party platforms to keep things running smoothly and to offer a collection of free recipes. These services help us analyze usage trends, support our site through advertising, and enrich pages with embedded videos. Here’s a look at some of the key tools we utilize:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Powered by Cloudflare, this tool lets us keep tabs on site performance and web traffic. It works without setting cookies that identify individual users. We spot outages or slowdowns and keep everything running fast and secure. Information like your IP address and browsing activity is grouped together, and it’s never used to single you out.
- Google AdSense: We show ads on Chrome Pantry courtesy of Google's AdSense platform. These ads fund our free content. Through cookies, AdSense delivers ads tailored to your browsing interests. Chrome Pantry can’t see or access any of your private data used for ad targeting. Want to know more? Check out Google’s privacy policy directly.
- YouTube: Occasionally, you'll find recipe videos from YouTube (owned by Google) embedded right on our site. If you hit play, YouTube or Google may set cookies to track video performance and view counts. If you're logged into your Google account, YouTube could link your viewing history to your account. However, Chrome Pantry never sees this information. You can always review YouTube and Google’s privacy policies for details.
- Google Analytics: This website traffic analysis tool by Google gathers anonymous data on how people use Chrome Pantry (like which pages get the most visits or how long visitors stay). The insights help us figure out what content you love and where to make improvements. Google Analytics tracks this info using cookies, but at no point does Chrome Pantry capture anything that identifies you directly.
How we use cookies & your choices
Cookies are tiny bits of text stored on your device anytime you visit a site. Both Chrome Pantry and our partners use cookies to help give you a better online experience:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to show ads that match your preferences and browsing habits.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to collect info about how you use Chrome Pantry. All the data is combined and helps us improve the site and content over time.
- Essential cookies: These are crucial for core site functions—like saving your language settings or remembering cookie preferences. Some features won’t work properly without them.
By continuing to browse Chrome Pantry, you agree to the cookie usage described here. You can manage or erase cookies through settings in your browser. Most browsers let you block cookies, get alerts before they’re set, or wipe them entirely. Keep in mind, if cookies are disabled, your experience on Chrome Pantry (and plenty of other websites) could be affected.
Updates to this policy
From time to time, this privacy statement may be updated. We might change it to reflect new laws, add services, or adjust our data practices. If anything substantial changes, we’ll post an obvious notice on Chrome Pantry—like a banner on the main page or a special alert.
The revision date at the top shows the last time this policy changed. We suggest checking back here regularly so you always know how Chrome Pantry keeps your information safe.
