General Introduction
Simple Louz is all about easy-to-follow recipes and a warm online community. We don't set up user accounts or collect your personal info directly. That means we don't sell or give away details about you to others.
Still, we want to be upfront about any information that could be gathered automatically by outside services we rely on. This includes things like website analytics, personalized ads and videos we embed for your enjoyment. This privacy policy lays out how Simple Louz handles such data, what third-party tools we use and how your privacy stays protected every time you visit simplelouz.com.
Third-party services used
To keep Simple Louz running smoothly and to continue providing free recipes, we choose a few trusted third-party partners. Their tools help us see which recipes you love, support the site with ads and add engaging video content. Here are the main services we turn to:
- Google Analytics: This Google tool lets us understand general visitor trends like which pages are popular and how long folks stay on them. Google Analytics places cookies for tracking, but Simple Louz never collects anything that could identify you personally.
- Google AdSense: With this platform powered by Google, you’ll see ads that help us keep the site free for everyone. AdSense uses cookies to show you ads tailored to your web activity. Simple Louz never sees the private information Google uses for ad targeting. You can always check Google’s privacy policy if you want more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this tool gives us an overview of site health and performance. It keeps your data anonymous and doesn’t use identifying cookies. The information we see, like traffic stats and your IP address, is grouped up and never tied back to you.
- YouTube: Sometimes, we embed recipe videos from YouTube (that’s another Google service). Watching these on Simple Louz means YouTube or Google cookies could get placed for stats like play counts. If you’re signed in with Google, your viewing might be linked to your account, but Simple Louz does not have access to this info. See YouTube or Google’s policies for more details.
Cookies and consent
When you visit simplelouz.com, small text files called cookies may be saved on your device. Simple Louz and our partners use cookies for a smoother browsing experience:
- Functional cookies: These cookies help the site remember your choices like language or cookie preferences. Without them, certain features could break.
- Analytics cookies: These are set by Google Analytics or Cloudflare Analytics to track things like user flow and page visits. They don’t single you out, but give us helpful insights to adjust our recipes and website design.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to tailor ads based on your browsing activity, so you see more relevant promotions.
By exploring Simple Louz, you agree to the cookie use described here. You can always change, delete or block cookies using your browser’s settings. Most browsers let you stop cookies or get a prompt before they appear. Just keep in mind, turning off cookies might impact your experience both on Simple Louz and elsewhere.
