General Introduction
Sonic Skillet is all about easy recipes and a friendly vibe. There aren't any user accounts here, so we don't gather any of your personal info ourselves. That means we never sell or share your personal details with anyone, ever.
Still, we think it's important to tell you how certain data could get collected automatically by some outside services we use. These third parties help us track traffic, personalize ads, and show videos to make Sonic Skillet better for you. This privacy policy breaks down how that data is handled and what we do to keep your privacy safe when you visit Sonic Skillet.
Third-party services used
To keep Sonic Skillet running smoothly and let you access hundreds of recipes for free, we rely on outside partners. These tools let us analyze how you use the site, fund our free content through ads, and enhance pages with video. Here are the primary services Sonic Skillet uses:
- YouTube: Occasionally, we add recipe videos right from YouTube. When you watch one on Sonic Skillet, YouTube and Google may set cookies to record things like video views or playback stats. If you're logged into Google, YouTube might connect your viewing to your account. However, Sonic Skillet doesn't see any of this personal info. Head to YouTube/Google's privacy policy for more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us monitor Sonic Skillet's traffic and performance without cookies that reveal your identity. This lets us catch bugs, keep things secure, and make sure the site loads fast. Info Cloudflare gathers (like IP addresses and browsing stats) is combined and never used to single you out.
- Google AdSense: AdSense is Google's ad tool that lets us show ads on Sonic Skillet. These ads support the site so we can stay totally free. They might use cookies to show you offers based on your browsing. Sonic Skillet doesn't see or use any of your ad targeting data. Learn more on Google's privacy page.
- Google Analytics: This is our crowd measurement partner, collecting anonymous numbers on visitors, time spent, and more. It helps us figure out which recipes are hits and what to improve. Google Analytics uses cookies, but Sonic Skillet never receives your personally identifying info.
