General Introduction
Frost Kettle is a recipe website built for easy, friendly browsing. You'll notice we don't use user accounts, so we never directly collect your personal details. That also means Frost Kettle's never shares or sells any of your information.
Still, there are third-party services we rely on to make your experience better. These might automatically collect some data, like traffic numbers, personalized advertising, or video embeds. This privacy policy breaks down how that works. You'll find clear info here on what data third parties collect and how Frost Kettle safeguards your privacy while you use our site.
Third-party services used
We use several third-party platforms at Frost Kettle to keep the site running smoothly and provide you with free recipes. These tools let us see how visitors interact with frostkettle.com, support our content with ads, and add video content too. Here's a look at the top third-party services we use:
- YouTube: Some of our recipes feature videos from YouTube (owned by Google), which we embed right on Frost Kettle. When you play one, YouTube or Google may set cookies to track things like video stats and number of views. If you're signed in to your Google account, your viewing might be linked to your Google profile, but Frost Kettle never sees this data. Want extra details? Check YouTube/Google's privacy info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare gives us site performance and visitor info without using cookies that reveal your identity. This helps Frost Kettle spot issues fast and keep frostkettle.com speedy and secure. Info that Cloudflare collects, such as your IP and browsing patterns, is grouped up for analytics—it’s never used to identify you.
- Google AdSense: AdSense is the Google tool letting us show ads to help support Frost Kettle and keep recipes free. The cookies it sets help display more relevant ads matching your interests or site activity. Frost Kettle doesn’t have access to the personal info Google uses for ad targeting. Curious about how your data's handled? See Google's privacy policy for more.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics is a stats platform. It collects anonymous details about how frostkettle.com is used—like times, pages visited, and popular recipes. This data lets us improve the site and content. Google Analytics may rely on cookies, but Frost Kettle never gathers anything that personally identifies you.
