General Introduction
Pantry Flux is a cooking site built around ease and a friendly, welcoming vibe. You won’t find user accounts here, and we don’t directly request or gather any of your personal details. Because of this, nothing about you is shared or sold.
Still, we’d like to explain how certain information might be automatically gathered via a handful of outside services that help us enhance your time here. These services may involve things like analytics, personalized ads, or video content. This privacy policy is here to outline these practices and show how Pantry Flux looks after your privacy as you browse.
Third-party services used
To keep Pantry Flux running well and continue bringing you free recipe content, we rely on a few outside services. These partners help us monitor usage, fund our site through advertising, and provide engaging extras like video. The main third-party tools we use are:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare provides us with traffic analysis and helps us spot any possible technical problems, ensuring Pantry Flux stays quick and secure. It doesn’t use cookies that could identify you personally. Data like your IP and browsing activity is pooled together, so it can’t be linked back to you.
- YouTube: Sometimes you’ll find recipe videos hosted on YouTube embedded in our pages. When you play one, cookies from YouTube/Google might get set to keep track of video plays and gather viewing statistics. If you’re logged into a Google account, YouTube could connect viewing activity to your profile. Pantry Flux never has access to this data. For more on what YouTube/Google collects, check their privacy details.
- Google AdSense: We display ads provided by Google’s AdSense to help fund Pantry Flux and keep content free for you. AdSense could use cookies to show you more relevant offers based on your browsing habits. Pantry Flux does not access any identifying information used by Google to tailor ads. You can learn more in Google’s privacy resources.
- Google Analytics: This is Google’s tool that anonymously tracks Pantry Flux’s visitor activity—like what pages people look at and how long they stay. We can see popular recipes and ways to improve the site, but nothing in this process lets us discover who you are. Google Analytics may use cookies for tracking website traffic.
Cookies and consent
When you’re on Pantry Flux, small text files called cookies can be saved on your device. Pantry Flux and our external partners might use cookies to boost your site experience:
- Advertising cookies: These come from Google AdSense and help deliver ads that match your interests by tracking what you look at online.
- Analytics cookies: Set by Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics, these cookies gather traffic and site use stats in an aggregated way. They help us figure out how people move around Pantry Flux so we can upgrade both performance and content.
- Functional cookies: These are crucial for the site to work as intended—things like remembering your preferred language or your consent settings. Some features may not work right unless these are enabled.
If you keep using Pantry Flux, you’re letting us use cookies as described above. You can always manage or erase cookies using your browser’s privacy controls. Most browsers let you remove or block cookies, or get a heads-up before one is placed. Turning cookies off might affect your Pantry Flux experience and maybe limit certain features on other websites too.
