General Introduction
zestvory puts friendly, hassle-free recipes at your fingertips. There's no need to sign up—zestvory doesn’t ask for your personal info directly, and we’ll never share or sell data about you.
Still, some details might get collected automatically by third-party tools to help us enhance your visit (think traffic tracking, personalized ads, and embedded videos). This privacy policy walks you through how those processes work and the steps zestvory takes to guard your privacy as you browse.
Third-party services used
zestvory relies on outside services to keep our free recipes coming and running smoothly. These third-party providers let us track usage trends, show ads that help fund our content, and bring recipes to life with video. Here’s a breakdown of the main services zestvory uses:
- Google Analytics: This Google tool gathers anonymous info to help us see which pages folks visit most, how long they stick around, and more. It shows us which recipes grab attention and what needs improvement. Google Analytics uses cookies, but zestvory never receives anything that identifies you directly.
- Google AdSense: AdSense, from Google, displays ads across zestvory.com. These ads help us cover costs and keep our content free for everyone. AdSense cookies may shape which ads you see based on your browsing, but zestvory can’t access or view personal data Google uses for this. For details, check Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare provides us with website traffic stats and performance monitoring. It doesn’t set cookies to identify who you are. Instead, Cloudflare gathers info like your IP address and site usage, but only in aggregate—that means zestvory can't see anything tied to you as an individual. It helps us spot issues and keeps zestvory.com reliable and quick.
- YouTube: Sometimes, zestvory shares recipe videos hosted on YouTube (which is part of Google). Watching those videos on zestvory.com may lead to YouTube/Google cookies tracking playbacks and view counts. If you’re logged in to a Google account, YouTube might link your watch history. That said, zestvory never gets any of that info. For more, check YouTube or Google’s privacy guidelines.
