General Introduction
Pantry Offset brings you an easygoing way to browse recipes, keeping things simple for everyone. We don't require user accounts, and we never directly collect your personal info. Because of this, none of your data is sold or shared.
Still, we believe in being open about how some information could be picked up automatically through third-party tools we use to enhance your visit (such as traffic analytics, custom ads, or video content). This privacy policy clearly spells out what these practices are and the ways Pantry Offset works to keep your information safe while you're exploring our site.
Third-party services used
To keep Pantry Offset running smoothly and recipes freely accessible, we work with a few third-party tools. These services help power up the site—think learning more about how folks browse, supporting our content with ad revenue, or adding videos. Here’s a rundown of the main outside services we rely on:
- YouTube: When we feature a video from YouTube on Pantry Offset, cookies from YouTube or Google could be installed to keep track of things like how many times a video is watched. If you're already signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing history, but Pantry Offset never sees this data. To dig deeper, check out YouTube/Google’s privacy details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare lets us monitor site traffic and performance without using cookies that could identify you. It collects things like your IP and browsing data, but this info is blended with others’ and can’t be traced back to you. These stats help us catch tech problems and keep Pantry Offset fast and secure.
- Google AdSense: Through Google’s AdSense platform, ads are shown on our pages—helping cover costs so recipes stay free. AdSense might use cookies to share ads that fit your interests, but Pantry Offset never accesses any of the personal info Google uses for its ad personalization. Visit Google’s privacy policy for more on how your data’s handled.
- Google Analytics: To understand how people interact with Pantry Offset, we use Google Analytics. It picks up anonymized data on things like page visits and how long folks hang around. These insights help us improve our site and see which recipes are crowd-pleasers. Google Analytics may place cookies for this data, but Pantry Offset doesn't collect information that could personally point to you.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files saved on your device when you visit a website. Pantry Offset and some partners use cookies to make your site experience better:
- Advertising cookies: These cookies, mainly from Google AdSense, remember things like what you’re interested in or your browsing patterns so the ads you see can match your tastes.
- Analytics cookies: Both Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics put these cookies to work tracking how people move around on Pantry Offset. The data is lumped together, letting us find out how folks use the site so we can keep things running smoothly and improve what you see.
- Functional cookies: These are must-haves for the basic features to run properly (think saving your language choice or cookie preferences). Without them, parts of Pantry Offset just wouldn’t work as intended.
When you use Pantry Offset, you're agreeing to how we handle cookies as mentioned. Feel free to delete or manage cookies from your browser’s settings at any time. Most browsers let you block them completely or get warnings before cookies are set. Just remember, turning off cookies might make Pantry Offset or some web features act differently.
