Greetings and Overview
Bakeloom is your ultimate source for delicious recipes, presented with straightforward simplicity. You won't have to set up any user accounts, and no personal details are collected directly. As such, there's also no sharing or selling of your information.
However, some data may be collected through third-party platforms we use to enhance site functionality. These could include insights from analytics, custom content delivery, or embedded videos. This privacy policy explains our data usage practices and highlights Bakeloom's commitment to keeping your privacy and data secure during your time here.
Tools and Services We Rely On
To keep Bakeloom running seamlessly—and free of charge—we depend on several external services. These partners help us gather insights about user behavior, receive ad-based funding, and enrich the site with dynamic features. Here's a summary of some of our primary tools:
- Google Analytics: This tool from Google helps us monitor non-identifiable traffic patterns, such as popular pages and average time spent on-site. Google Analytics uses cookies, but Bakeloom doesn’t receive or store any information that could identify you directly.
- Google AdSense: Using Google’s advertising network, we display ads tailored to user preferences. Although AdSense utilizes cookies for personalized ad experiences, Bakeloom doesn’t handle the underlying data used for these targeted ads. Refer to Google's privacy policy for further details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: We utilize Cloudflare to analyze site performance and monitor traffic. Instead of personal identifiers, Cloudflare processes aggregated data (such as IP addresses) to address technical issues and improve site speed.
- YouTube: Occasionally, some of our recipe content includes embedded videos hosted by YouTube, a Google platform. Viewing these videos may introduce Google/YouTube cookies to track usage metrics like playback or views. While YouTube might link this information to your logged-in Google account, Bakeloom doesn’t access or manage this data. Check YouTube/Google's privacy policy for more specifics.
Cookies and Customization Options
Cookies are small files stored in your browser when you visit websites. Bakeloom and our partners use these files to improve functionality and personalization while you're browsing:
- Functional Cookies: Vital for Bakeloom’s everyday operations, these cookies help remember your language selections, consent preferences, and other essential settings. Disabling them may compromise some features.
- Analytics Cookies: Used by tools like Google Analytics or Cloudflare, these cookies collect summarized behavioral insights. They enable us to refine Bakeloom’s performance based on aggregated user trends.
- Advertising Cookies: Managed by Google AdSense, these cookies help deliver tailored ads aligned with individual browsing habits and preferences.
By using Bakeloom, you consent to these cookie-related functionalities. However, if needed, you can manage or delete cookies directly via your browser’s settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, get alerts before new cookies are saved, or remove them altogether. Keep in mind, though, that certain changes may affect your experience on the platform.
