General Introduction
Hazel Flour is a recipe hub where simplicity comes first. We don't ask you to create an account, and we never directly gather your personal details. That means we don't sell or share any information about you, either.
Still, some data might be auto-collected by third-party tools we use for stats, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy page will walk you through how those services work, what info they might collect, and the ways Hazel Flour's site safeguards your privacy whenever you visit hazelflour.com.
Third-party services used
To keep Hazel Flour running smoothly and continue giving you free recipes, we work with a few outside service providers. They help us gauge site usage, support the platform with ad revenue, and add helpful video content. Here are some of those partners:
- Google Analytics: This tool checks out general website traffic, like visited pages and time spent, with all data staying anonymous. It helps Hazel Flour spot popular dishes and figure out what parts of the site could use some tweaks. Google Analytics may set cookies to gather this info, but nothing personally identifying is collected by Hazel Flour.
- Google AdSense: With AdSense, you’ll see ads on Hazel Flour’s pages—these support our free content and keep everything running. AdSense cookies might tailor ads based on your browsing habits, but Hazel Flour can't access your personal ad data. Want details? Check out Google’s privacy info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare lets us track how the site's performing and monitor traffic, without using cookies that pinpoint who you are. It gathers stuff like IP addresses so Hazel Flour can keep things secure and spot technical hiccups, but it doesn’t single out any user.
- YouTube: We sometimes include recipe videos from YouTube (that’s all part of Google, too). Watching these on Hazel Flour’s site means YouTube/Google might set cookies to record things like play counts or viewing stats. If you’re logged into Google, the viewings could link to your profile, but Hazel Flour never sees your personal info. More details are explained in YouTube or Google’s privacy documentation.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are little files saved on your device while browsing. Hazel Flour and chosen third-party partners use cookies to make your time here better:
- Functional cookies: These make sure basic site things work, like remembering your language or your consent preferences. Without them, some Hazel Flour features could break.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to learn which pages and features get the most action. This data piles up in groups, so Hazel Flour can boost performance and improve recipes and navigation.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to suggest ads that match your interests or habits as you browse.
By visiting Hazel Flour, you’re saying it’s okay for us and our partners to use cookies as described. You can manage, block, or remove cookies using your browser’s settings—most browsers let you do this, or warn you first. But just so you know, some parts of Hazel Flour or other sites might not work right if you turn cookies off.
