General Introduction
Circuit Crust is all about sharing recipes with ease, in a fun and friendly way. There aren’t any accounts to manage, and we never ask for your personal info. That means we don’t sell or trade any details about you, either.
Still, some information may be picked up automatically through outside tools we use to make Circuit Crust better for you. Things like site stats, personalized ads, or embedded videos may involve third-party services collecting certain data. On this page, we’ll walk you through exactly what gets collected, how, and how we work to keep your information and privacy secure while you browse Circuit Crust.
Third-party services we use
To keep Circuit Crust running smoothly and recipes flowing for free, we rely on a few third-party tools. These services let us understand how folks use our website, support content with ads, and add things like video clips. Here’s a rundown on the main partners that help us out:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this tool helps us check how well the site performs and how people are using it—without needing cookies tied to you specifically. The info gathered (like IP addresses and browser stats) stays grouped together, so you can’t be picked out individually. It helps us spot and fix tech hiccups and keep things secure.
- YouTube: Sometimes Circuit Crust pages show recipe videos through YouTube, owned by Google. Watching these videos might drop YouTube or Google cookies to see how the video’s doing (views and engagement, for example). If you’re logged in to Google, your watch might be linked to your account, but we never see that part. You can always check the YouTube/Google privacy details for more info.
- Google AdSense: This is Google’s ad network. With AdSense, we can keep Circuit Crust free by showing ads. AdSense might use cookies to tailor ads to your tastes and browsing activity. But Circuit Crust can’t access any personal info Google uses for ad settings. See Google’s privacy terms if you want to know more.
- Google Analytics: This audience insights tool from Google tracks site visits (like pages pulled up and how long you stick around) but only anonymously. These reports help us spot which recipes you love and find ways to make Circuit Crust better. Google Analytics could use cookies here, but nothing is linked back to you as an individual through Circuit Crust.
Cookies & your consent
Cookies are tiny files that get saved on your device when you browse around on websites. Both Circuit Crust and our trusted third-party partners use them to give you a smoother, more personalized visit:
- Advertising cookies: These cookies, courtesy of Google AdSense, help show ads tailored to your interests or browsing patterns. It’s how you get relevant ads while supporting Circuit Crust.
- Analytics cookies: Used with Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics, these cookies help track how folks are finding and using Circuit Crust. The info collected helps us improve how the site works and what content we create, all without identifying you.
- Functional cookies: These necessary cookies keep Circuit Crust working right—for example, by remembering what language you like or the consents you’ve given. Without them, certain features just won’t work.
If you keep using Circuit Crust, you’re agreeing to our use of cookies just like described here. But you’re in control: you can manage or remove cookies through your browser anytime. Most browsers even let you block or get notified before new cookies are saved. Just keep in mind that turning off cookies could affect how Circuit Crust (and other sites) function for you.
Keeping you informed
This privacy policy might change over time. Whenever we add new tools, change how we handle things, or if laws shift, we’ll update this page to keep everything current. If anything big changes, you’ll see a clear notice on Circuit Crust’s homepage or get a dedicated heads up.
You can always check when we last updated things by looking at the revision date near the top. We suggest checking in here occasionally so you’re always up to speed on how Circuit Crust looks out for your privacy.
