General Introduction
Pecan Field is a cooking inspiration website focused on ease and friendly sharing. We don't have user profiles, and we never ask for or save any of your personal details. That means we don't trade or pass on your personal info to anyone else.
Still, some automatic data may get picked up through certain outside tools we use, like analytics, personalized ads, or video add-ins, all aimed at making your visit better. This privacy statement will break down how those third parties work and how Pecan Field looks out for your privacy while you browse our recipes.
Third-party services used
To keep Pecan Field running smoothly and serving up free recipes, we team up with trusted third-party providers. Their tools help us understand site use, support our free content through ads, and bring videos to our pages. Check out the main services involved:
- Pecan Field Analytics (powered by Google Analytics): This analytics tool collects anonymous info about how visitors use our site (like which pages you explore or how long you stick around). That helps us see which recipes are a hit and make improvements. Analytics may use cookies for this, but Pecan Field doesn't see anything that reveals who you are.
- Pecan Field Ads (powered by Google AdSense): Our advertising platform lets us show ads to fund free content. Ads might be tailored to your browsing using cookies, but Pecan Field can't access any info Google uses for customizing those ads. If you want details, you can always visit Google's privacy policy.
- Pecan Field Traffic Insights (powered by Cloudflare Analytics): This web analysis tool tracks performance and visits, without relying on cookies that can single you out. We use it to spot technical issues and keep things speedy and safe. Cloudflare gathers and combines info like your IP and navigation details, never using it to ID you personally.
- Pecan Field Video (from YouTube): Sometimes, our recipes feature videos hosted on YouTube, which belongs to Google. When you watch one of these, YouTube/Google cookies might record your viewing actions or collect stats (like total views). If you're logged into Google, YouTube might link it to your account, but Pecan Field never sees any of that data. Want to know more? Take a look at YouTube or Google's privacy policies.
