General Introduction
urbankitchenstories is all about easygoing cooking for everyone. We believe in keeping things straightforward, so you won’t find user accounts and we never ask for your personal details. That means we don’t sell or give away any information about you either.
Still, it’s important to let you know some info gets gathered automatically when we use outside tools that help make urbankitchenstories better (think: site stats, relevant ads, videos). This privacy policy is here to clearly walk you through what happens, how third-party services may interact with your data, and the steps urbankitchenstories takes to keep your browsing safe and private.
Third-party services used
urbankitchenstories uses several third-party tools to make the site run smoothly and keep recipes free for you. These providers let us track how folks use urbankitchenstories.com, support our site through ads, or add cool stuff like videos. Here’s a quick overview of the main services we rely on:
- YouTube: We feature some recipe videos via YouTube (it’s part of Google), so when you watch one here, YouTube and Google cookies might track playback and gather view stats (like number of plays). If you’re logged into your Google account, your watch history could be linked to your profile, but urbankitchenstories doesn’t see any of these details. To learn more, you can check out Google/YouTube's privacy info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this tool tracks web traffic and monitors our site’s speed—without using cookies that could ID you. All insights (such as your IP or visit paths) stay aggregated and aren’t used to personally single you out. We rely on this data to troubleshoot or boost performance when needed.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform shows relevant ads on urbankitchenstories.com, which supports us and keeps our content free. AdSense may use cookies to tailor ads you see based on your activity. urbankitchenstories has no access to Google’s personal ad data. For their full privacy rules, you can visit Google’s privacy resources.
- Google Analytics: This service, from Google, helps us understand general trends by looking at visit stats (like which pages get the most traffic or session times). Google Analytics may use cookies to gather info, but urbankitchenstories never gets any data that would identify you as a person.
