General Introduction
Chrome Spoon is all about easy, enjoyable cooking—without any user accounts or collection of your individual data. You'll never have to worry about us selling or sharing your info because we simply don't collect it.
Still, some information might get picked up automatically when we use outside services (think: traffic stats, video embeds, or advertising tailored to you). This privacy policy lays out exactly what happens, which partners are involved, and how Chrome Spoon works to keep your details safe every time you visit chromespoon.com.
Third-party services used
To keep Chrome Spoon running smoothly and recipes free for everyone, we rely on a handful of outside providers. These let us analyze traffic, show you video content, and pay our bills with advertising—all while helping us make the site even better. Here are some services you'll find on Chrome Spoon:
- YouTube: Chrome Spoon features videos stored on YouTube. Watching one lets YouTube (and Google) set cookies so they can keep tabs on views and playback. If you’re signed into Google, your activity might link to your account, but we never see that personal info. For more privacy details, check out Google’s and YouTube's own policies.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us monitor chromespoon.com’s performance and traffic—without using cookies that ID you directly. We use this data to find technical issues and keep the site quick and secure. Everything Cloudflare gathers, like your IP or general browser info, is bunched up into statistics, never used to pinpoint you personally.
- Google AdSense: This service makes it possible for us to show ads and support Chrome Spoon’s free content. AdSense cookies allow ads to match your interests, but Chrome Spoon doesn't collect or access your personal data for this purpose. Learn more about this by reading Google’s privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Analytics from Google lets us understand what’s popular on chromespoon.com by tracking (in anonymous form) which pages you visit and how long you stick around. Google Analytics uses cookies, but Chrome Spoon doesn’t gather anything that could identify you.
Cookies and consent
When you visit chromespoon.com, Chrome Spoon and outside partners use small text files called cookies to make your browsing smoother:
- Advertising cookies: These cookies (used by Google AdSense) help show ads related to topics you might like based on your past visits or preferences.
- Analytics cookies: Tools like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics set these up to see how people interact across Chrome Spoon. The info’s combined into totals and helps us upgrade our recipes and make the site faster or easier to use for everyone.
- Functional cookies: We need these basic cookies to remember options like your language setting or cookie approvals. Without them, some features could break or stop working right.
By continuing to use Chrome Spoon, you confirm you accept the use of cookies as described here. You’re free to manage or remove cookies whenever you like—just head into your browser settings. Most browsers give you the power to block, erase, or get notified before cookies are stored. Turning off cookies, though, might make some things less smooth on Chrome Spoon and elsewhere online.
