General Introduction
Welcome to Citrus Hearth—a cooking resource where we keep things easy and friendly. You won't need an account here, and Citrus Hearth doesn't gather any of your personal info directly. So, we never sell or share details about you.
Still, we want you to know how some tech partners may automatically collect information, like site analytics, personalized advertising, or embedded video features. This Privacy Policy is here to outline these processes and show how Citrus Hearth works to keep your browsing private and secure.
Third-party services used
To make Citrus Hearth run smoothly and keep recipes free, we partner with other companies for tools and services. These partners help us learn what you like, support our site with ads, and add videos to our pages. Take a look at the main services Citrus Hearth uses:
- YouTube: Sometimes, we include cooking videos uploaded to YouTube (owned by Google). If you play one of these, YouTube and Google could set cookies to track the viewing and collect data, like play counts. If you’re signed into a Google account, YouTube might link views to your profile. Citrus Hearth can't access any of this data. For details, see YouTube/Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare provides us with site performance tracking. It lets Citrus Hearth keep the website speedy and reliable. Cloudflare collects info like your IP address, but it's grouped together and never used to pinpoint your identity. No personalized cookies are involved.
- Google AdSense: AdSense lets us show advertising that helps Citrus Hearth stay free for everyone. The platform may use cookies to show ads matching your interests, based on what you browse. Citrus Hearth doesn’t get access to Google’s personal ad data. For more details, check Google’s privacy guidelines.
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to see how visitors use Citrus Hearth. It tracks things like page views and visit length, helping us improve your experience. This info is anonymous, sometimes using cookies. Citrus Hearth never collects personal identifiers through Analytics.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files saved on your device while browsing. Citrus Hearth and our partners use cookies to offer you a better experience:
- Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense to deliver ads tailored to you. These can log browsing interests to help you see ads you care about.
- Analytics cookies: Our analytics partners (Google Analytics, Cloudflare) use these to understand visitor behavior and traffic. All collected info is group data—Citrus Hearth can't identify individuals. Analytics cookies let us improve site quality.
- Functional cookies: These handle things like remembering your settings or language preference. Citrus Hearth relies on them for core features; without them, some functions might not work as expected.
When you use Citrus Hearth, you agree to our cookie usage as described. You can always set your browser to block, delete, or ask before cookies are saved. Note: turning off cookies may limit Citrus Hearth's features, and those on other sites too.
