General Introduction
Welcome to cooziva, where cooking is simple and social. Here, we don’t ask you to sign up or hand over any of your personal details. That means your information isn’t sold or shared—ever.
It's important for us to be upfront about data that gets gathered automatically through outside tools we use. Things like video playback, visitor stats, and tailored ads rely on third parties. We're laying out this privacy policy so you know what happens behind the scenes on cooziva, and how we’re careful with your information.
Third-party services used
To keep cooziva running well and recipes free, we partner with some trusted third-party platforms. These partners help us analyze traffic, fund our site with ads, and bring in things like video content. Here are some of the key ones we rely on:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This helps us review how cooziva performs and handles web traffic. Cloudflare doesn’t use identifying cookies. They collect data like IP addresses for troubleshooting, but nobody can use that to single you out.
- YouTube: We sometimes share cooking videos right on cooziva through YouTube embeds. Watching videos can drop YouTube/Google cookies to keep track of views and playback. If you’re logged in to Google, YouTube may know which videos you’ve watched—but we don’t ever see that info. Check out YouTube or Google’s privacy page if you’re curious about their approach.
- Google AdSense: Our ad partner shows relevant ads and helps us keep our recipes available for free. AdSense might use cookies to display ads tailored to your interests. The personal info Google uses for ads never makes it to us. For all the details, see Google’s privacy documentation.
- Google Analytics: This tool gives us an overview of stats, like what pages people visit and how long they hang out. Everything collected stays anonymous—so we know what’s popular, but not who you are. Google uses cookies to learn this, but cooziva doesn’t handle any data that could ID you.
Cookies and consent
When you stop by cooziva.com, small cookie files may be saved on your device. These are used by us and our third-party partners to smooth out your visit:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense sets these to show you more useful ads, possibly tracking browsing habits and interests for more relevant content.
- Analytics cookies: Tools like Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics use these to anonymously track traffic and site usage. They let us see trends, so we can keep improving cooziva for everyone.
- Functional cookies: These are essential for things like saving your language choice or remembering you agreed to cookies. They’re needed for cooziva to work correctly—without them, certain features might break.
By browsing cooziva, you’re letting us use cookies as outlined above. Most browsers let you adjust or remove cookies in the settings. You can block, clear, or get alerts about new cookies. Just keep in mind, turning off cookies could change how cooziva and other sites work for you.
Changes to this policy
This policy could change from time to time. We might update it if we tweak our procedures, bring in new partners, or face new legal questions. If big changes happen, we’ll post a clear notice on cooziva (maybe on the homepage or through another message).
You can always check the date at the top to see when this was last revised. It’s a good idea to revisit this page once in a while to keep up-to-date with the latest info about how we handle your data.
