General Introduction
Noor Bakes is a website offering baking and culinary recipes, designed to prioritize simplicity and friendliness. We don’t have user accounts, and we don’t gather your personal information directly. As a result, we don’t sell or share any personal data about you.
However, we believe it’s important to explain how certain data might be collected automatically through third-party tools we use to enhance your experience (e.g., traffic statistics, tailored ads, embedded videos). This privacy policy aims to provide you with clear and transparent information about these practices and how we safeguard your data and privacy while browsing Noor Bakes.
Third-Party Services We Use
To keep Noor Bakes running smoothly and to continue providing free recipes, we rely on services offered by third parties. These providers help us understand how visitors use our site, fund our content through ads, and enrich our pages with video content. Below are the primary third-party services we use:
- Google Analytics: A web analytics tool from Google that collects anonymous traffic data (e.g., pages visited, time spent). This information helps us identify popular recipes and improve the site. Google Analytics may use cookies to track this info, but Noor Bakes doesn’t collect any data to personally identify you.
- Google AdSense: Google’s advertising platform displays ads on our site. These ads help support us financially while providing you with free content. AdSense may rely on cookies to show you relevant ads based on your browsing habits. Noor Bakes doesn’t access the personal data Google uses to personalize these ads. For additional details, check Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: A traffic analysis service provided by Cloudflare that monitors site performance and traffic without using cookies to identify you. This helps us troubleshoot technical issues and ensure that the site remains secure and runs efficiently. The data Cloudflare gathers, such as IP addresses and browsing details, is grouped together and doesn’t identify individuals.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed recipe videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned service). Watching a YouTube video on Noor Bakes may result in YouTube/Google placing cookies to track your video views and gather statistics (e.g., view counts). If you’re logged into your Google account, YouTube might link your activity to your profile, but Noor Bakes doesn’t gain access to this data. Visit YouTube/Google’s privacy policy to learn more.
