General Introduction
Bakozy is a food recipe platform that embraces simplicity and community spirit. We operate without user accounts and never directly gather your personal details. As a result, we don't trade or distribute any of your personal information.
Still, we'd like to clarify how certain data might be automatically collected through third-party tools we utilize to enhance your browsing journey (such as site analytics, customized ads and video content). This privacy statement aims to provide clear, transparent insights about these practices and how we safeguard your information and privacy while you explore Bakozy.
Third-party services used
To ensure Bakozy runs smoothly and to keep offering complimentary recipes, we employ various third-party solutions. These tools help us analyze site usage patterns, support our content through advertising revenue, and enhance our pages with video materials. Here's a breakdown of the key third-party services we utilize:
- Google Analytics: An audience measurement service from Google that gathers anonymous site traffic information (like page views, session duration). This data helps us identify our most beloved recipes and ways to enhance the platform. Google Analytics may deploy cookies for tracking purposes, but Bakozy doesn't collect any personally identifiable information.
- Google AdSense: A digital advertising system by Google that enables ad placement throughout our platform. These advertisements support our operations while keeping content free for you. AdSense might utilize cookies to display relevant promotions based on your browsing habits. Bakozy can't access the personal information Google uses for ad customization. You'll find more details in Google's privacy documentation.
- Cloudflare Analytics: A traffic analysis tool provided by Cloudflare. It enables us to track site performance and visitor patterns without using identity-tracking cookies. This helps us identify potential technical issues and maintain a fast, secure platform. Information gathered by Cloudflare (such as IP addresses and navigation data) is consolidated and never used for individual identification.
- YouTube: We occasionally incorporate cooking videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned platform). When viewing YouTube content on Bakozy, YouTube/Google cookies might be installed to monitor playback and compile statistics (like view counts). If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube may link your viewing activity to your profile, though we have zero access to this information. For additional details, consult YouTube/Google's privacy guidelines.
