General Introduction
Bloom Oven is all about creating a friendly, easy-to-use space for recipes. You won't find any user registration here, and we don't directly gather any personal info. That's why we never sell or share any details about you.
Still, it's important to let you know certain data can be automatically gathered by third-party tools, such as those that boost site performance or show tailored ads and videos. In this privacy overview, we'll break down these practices and explain how Bloom Oven keeps your data and privacy protected while you browse our pages.
Third-party services used
To keep Bloom Oven running smoothly and make sure you can access all our free recipes, we depend on several third-party platforms. These partners help us analyze user habits, support Bloom Oven with ad revenue, and display video recipes right on our site. Below are the top third-party tools we rely on:
- Google Analytics: This Google-powered analytics tool collects non-identifying statistics, such as which pages you check out and how long you stay. It gives Bloom Oven insights for improving popular content. While cookies may be set, none of these details uncover your personal identity.
- Google AdSense: Ads appear on Bloom Oven courtesy of Google's ad network, supporting our free recipe offerings. You may see ads that match your interests, based on your browsing, as AdSense tracks relevant activity by cookies. Bloom Oven has no access to private data Google uses for personalization. Get details by checking Google's privacy policies.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this service monitors traffic and site speed without using identifying cookies. Bloom Oven uses it to spot any technical snags and keep pages loading fast and secure. Cloudflare gathers info like browsing patterns and IP addresses, which get grouped and can't be traced to individuals.
- YouTube: Now and then, Bloom Oven embeds videos from YouTube (owned by Google). Watching these clips might set YouTube/Google tracking cookies to log playback stats (like view counts). If you're already signed in to Google, YouTube could associate your watching history with your profile. Bloom Oven doesn't access this info directly. If you're curious, check out YouTube/Google's privacy details.
Cookies and consent
When you visit a site, cookies are tiny text pieces saved on your device. Bloom Oven and chosen partners use them to smooth out your browsing:
- Functional cookies: These are vital for Bloom Oven to work as expected, like storing your preferred language or tracking consent options. Some features may not run properly without 'em.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to gather usage details and traffic trends. The info is grouped together, helping Bloom Oven figure out user patterns and tweak performance or content.
- Advertising cookies: Placed via Google AdSense, these cookies collect your interests and browsing behavior to show you ads that matter most.
By continuing to use Bloom Oven, you're agreeing to how we use cookies as described. Want more control? You can adjust or clear cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you block, delete, or alert you about cookies before they're added. Just remember, blocking cookies could affect how Bloom Oven and other sites work for you.
