General Introduction
Skillet Echo is all about straightforward recipes and fostering a welcoming vibe. You won't find user profiles here, and we never gather your personal info ourselves. That means we also never trade or share anything personal about you.
That said, some info might get collected automatically by outside services we use to boost your experience (like stats, personalized ads, and video embeds). This privacy notice explains what data might be gathered, what those third-parties do, and how we keep your privacy in mind while you're browsing Skillet Echo.
Third-party services used
To keep Skillet Echo running smoothly and free for you, we rely on a few trusted outside services. They help us analyze how folks use our site, pay for our content using ads, and make our pages better with videos. Here are the key third-party providers you'll encounter:
- YouTube: Our recipe videos are sometimes embedded using YouTube (run by Google). Watching a YouTube video on Skillet Echo means YouTube/Google cookies could track what you view and collect stats (like view counts). If you happen to be logged in to Google, YouTube might connect your viewing to your profile. Skillet Echo doesn't access any of that info. To learn more, take a look at YouTube/Google’s privacy details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare lets us track overall site performance and usage—without storing cookies that can pinpoint you. This service helps us spot problems and keeps Skillet Echo safe and speedy. Info like your IP and browsing stats is bundled together and can't be tied to you personally.
- Google AdSense: Google AdSense lets us show ads, funding Skillet Echo so our recipes stay free. AdSense might use cookies to display ads that fit your interests. Skillet Echo never sees or keeps your personal ad data. If you want more info, see Google’s privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics tracks stats on who's visiting, which pages get attention, and for how long. It uses cookies to gather anonymous data, so we can make Skillet Echo better. But none of this info personally identifies you, and Skillet Echo never collects anything that could.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny data files your device saves when you visit a website. Skillet Echo and some of our third-party tools use cookies to enhance your time on our site:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to serve up ads. They might track what you like or browse, so the ads you see are more useful to you.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to gather traffic info and site usage data. It all gets grouped together, so it helps us improve Skillet Echo and keep things running well.
- Functional cookies: These are needed for basic site features (like remembering your choices or language). Without them, certain tools or preferences just won’t work right.
