Introduction
Savor by Sophie is all about sharing easy and creative cooking tips. Since we don’t require user accounts, we avoid directly collecting any personal details. This means your information isn’t shared or sold.
However, some data might be gathered automatically through the external tools we use. These tools are designed to improve your browsing experience, like offering personalized ads, better site stats, or video features. This privacy policy explains how these processes work and highlights the ways Savor by Sophie ensures your privacy while enjoying savorbysophie.com.
Third-Party Tools We Work With
To keep Savor by Sophie running smoothly and offer free recipes, we depend on external partners. These tools allow us to monitor site performance, fund our work with ads, and integrate dynamic videos. Here are some of the key external services we use:
- Google Analytics: This powerful tool helps us understand visitor behavior by tracking anonymous site interactions (like which pages were visited or how long users stayed). It uses cookies to gather data, but Savor by Sophie doesn’t access personal details. These insights let us figure out what content resonates with you most and refine the site accordingly.
- Google AdSense: Through Google’s advertising network, relevant ads are displayed on our site. This system funds the free resources we provide. AdSense utilizes cookies to create ads aligned with your browsing habits. However, Savor by Sophie can’t access any private data Google might use for its ad personalization. For more details, visit Google’s privacy page.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us measure performance and analyze website traffic without identifying individuals. It gathers general stats like browser types and IP addresses to ensure savorbysophie.com remains fast and secure. This aggregated data is only used for technical improvements.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we share cooking videos hosted on YouTube (a Google service) directly on our site. Watching these videos might allow YouTube or Google to set cookies that collect stats like viewing counts. If you’re logged into your Google account, YouTube could associate your viewing choices with your profile. Savor by Sophie doesn’t access any of this data. Learn more by checking out YouTube’s privacy terms.
