General Introduction
Cooking with Yvette is all about easy recipes and a welcoming atmosphere. We don’t ask you to create accounts, and we never gather your personal details directly. That means we don’t share or sell any information about you.
Still, we’d like to walk you through how some info might be collected automatically by outside services we use—like traffic tracking, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy policy is here to lay out our approach, how we safeguard your privacy, and what you should know whenever you browse Cooking with Yvette.
Third-party services used
To keep Cooking with Yvette running smoothly and share free recipes, we rely on a few helpful third-party tools. These platforms let us track how you interact with the site, let us pay the bills with ads, and make our recipe pages more lively with videos. Here are the top third-party platforms we use:
- YouTube: Sometimes we add recipe videos right from YouTube, a Google service. When you hit play on a video at Cooking with Yvette, YouTube or Google might store cookies to measure view counts or monitor video playback. If you’re signed into your Google account, your activity could link to your profile, but Cooking with Yvette never sees this data. For more details, check out YouTube/Google’s privacy info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Our site uses Cloudflare to check on traffic and keep things running fast. Cloudflare doesn’t rely on cookies that identify you. Their data is grouped together—like IP addresses and browsing stats—but it’s not used to single you out personally. This helps us catch tech problems and maintain site speed and security.
- Google AdSense: This is Google’s ad program, and it helps power Cooking with Yvette with ads. Ads support our content so you get everything for free. AdSense uses cookies to select ads that best match your browsing. Cooking with Yvette doesn’t see the personal data Google uses for customizing ads. Hit Google’s privacy info for anything specific.
- Google Analytics: This analytics tool from Google gathers general, anonymous info about site visits—like which pages you look at or how long you stay. These insights show us which recipes are loved most and what we can improve. Google Analytics works with cookies, but Cooking with Yvette never collects information that could personally identify you.
Cookies and consent

- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to show ads. They might record what interests you or which pages you view, so ads match your preferences.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to track site traffic and what you do on Cooking with Yvette. This info is grouped and helps us make our recipes and site features even better.
- Functional cookies: These are must-haves—like remembering your consent or which language you picked. Without these, some parts of Cooking with Yvette could stop working.
If you use Cooking with Yvette, you’re saying yes to our use of cookies as outlined. You’re free to adjust or erase cookies anytime using your browser settings. Most browsers let you block, remove, or warn you about cookies before they’re placed. Just be aware, turning cookies off could change the way Cooking with Yvette (and other sites) look or work for you.
