General Introduction
Cocoa Ferns is your go-to for culinary inspiration—where cooking's easy and fun. We don't set up user logins, so you never have to worry about sharing personal details directly with us. We simply won't sell or pass on info about you.
Still, let's break down how automatic data might be gathered through outside services we use to enhance your visit (think: video embeds, tailored ads, and site stats). This privacy guide's here to walk you through how these things work, what gets collected, and how Cocoa Ferns keeps your information secure while you're browsing.
Third-party services used
To keep Cocoa Ferns running smoothly and keep free recipes available, we rely on several third-party tools. These help us with site analytics, earn revenue through ads, and add video features to our pages. Check out the main outside services we rely on:
- YouTube: Sometimes we embed cooking videos hosted by YouTube. When you play a video on Cocoa Ferns, YouTube (which is part of Google) might drop cookies to track how you watch and count views. If you're signed in to your Google account, your activity could be tied to your profile, but Cocoa Ferns can't access that data. For more details, head over to YouTube/Google's privacy info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This tool monitors Cocoa Ferns's site traffic and performance—no cookies that actually identify you are used. It gathers things like IP addresses and browsing stats, all bundled together and never linked personally.
- Google AdSense: Google's ad service lets us show ads and helps us fund our recipes. AdSense uses cookies to bring you ads based on what you've browsed. We don’t see or handle any of your personal info Google uses. Learn more by reading Google's ad privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: This platform tracks visitor stats—like what pages you check out and how long you stay—so we can see which recipes are winners and improve Cocoa Ferns. Google Analytics uses cookies for this purpose, but we don’t get or store any info that pinpoints who you are.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny data files your device gets when you visit Cocoa Ferns or our partners’ sites. These help make your experience smoother and more personal:
- Advertising cookies: Placed by Google AdSense, these track interests or habits to give you ads you’ll care about.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics, these collect usage and traffic details—everything's pulled together and helps us see how people move around Cocoa Ferns, so we can improve features and content.
- Functional cookies: The bare necessities! These let Cocoa Ferns remember things like your preferred language or what you’ve agreed to. Without them, some bits of our site might not load right.
By using Cocoa Ferns, you accept our use of cookies as mentioned above. You can block, delete, or control cookies anytime in your browser settings—most browsers let you stop cookies or warn you before one's put in place. Turning off cookies might make Cocoa Ferns (and other sites) work less smoothly for you.
