General Overview
Clover Hearth's recipe site embraces easy cooking and friendly vibes. You won't find user accounts here, and we never ask for your personal details. That means your info is never sold or handed out to anyone else.
Still, certain data might be collected automatically by third-party tools we use to enhance your visit—think traffic stats, personalized ads, and video embeds. This privacy policy aims to lay out how these services work, what info they collect, and the steps Clover Hearth takes to safeguard your privacy while you explore our website.
Tools and services from outside providers
To keep Clover Hearth's recipe site running smoothly and free for everyone, we make use of a few outside services. Each one plays a role: understanding how folks use our pages, showing ads to support our content, and adding in videos for richer experiences. Here's a quick look at the main services we rely on:
- YouTube: Occasionally, our recipes feature videos hosted on YouTube. When you view them on Clover Hearth, YouTube (run by Google) may add cookies to track views and gather statistics. If you're logged into a Google account, YouTube might connect those views to your profile, but Clover Hearth can't access any of that personal info. You can check out YouTube/Google's privacy details for more info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare gives us web traffic stats and helps monitor site speed and security. They don't use cookies to identify you, and their reports are aggregated so no one can pick out your individual data (like your IP address or browsing patterns).
- Google AdSense: Ads from Google AdSense may appear while you're browsing Clover Hearth. These paid ads help us keep the site free. Google uses cookies to tailor which ads you see and might track your interests. Clover Hearth doesn't see or retain any personal data Google uses for advertising. More info is available on Google's privacy page.
- Google Analytics: This analytics tool lets us know which recipes get attention, which pages are popular, and how long visitors stay. Google Analytics may set cookies for gathering anonymous site usage data, but Clover Hearth never receives any info that could personally identify you.
Cookies and Your Consent
Cookies are tiny text files saved on your device when you visit Clover Hearth. Both us and our partners use them to boost your browsing experience:
- Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense to serve up relevant ads. These cookies might keep track of your preferences or habits to help match ads to you.
- Analytics cookies: Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics use these to collect data about traffic and how you use Clover Hearth. We get big-picture insights only—never info that identifies you directly.
- Functional cookies: These are necessary for the site to work as intended. Think remembered language settings or your cookie consent choice. Without them, some features could break.
By browsing Clover Hearth, you're agreeing to the cookie use explained above. You can control, delete, or block cookies in your browser settings whenever you like. Most browsers even let you set alerts before a cookie is saved. Keep in mind: switching off cookies can impact how Clover Hearth and other sites work for you.
