General Introduction
Olive Cinder is all about easy, fun cooking with a welcoming touch. We never ask you to create an account, nor do we gather your personal details ourselves. That means Olive Cinder doesn't sell or distribute your private information—period.
That said, some information may be automatically collected by trusted third-party tools we rely on to enhance your visit. This might include site traffic analysis, tailored ads, or embedded video services. Olive Cinder's privacy policy is here to walk you through how that works, what gets collected, and what we do to keep your data and browsing habits safe on Olive Cinder.
Third-party services used
Olive Cinder relies on several third-party providers to keep the site running smoothly and recipes accessible for free. These partners support everything from ad revenue and content funding to understanding how visitors engage or enjoying recipe videos. Here’s a look at key third parties used by Olive Cinder:
- YouTube: Olive Cinder sometimes features recipe content in video format via YouTube. Watching these clips on Olive Cinder's site can result in YouTube (owned by Google) setting cookies to track views and gather statistics like total plays. If you’re signed in with a Google account, YouTube could link this data to your profile. However, Olive Cinder never receives any of this information directly. You can get more details in YouTube/Google’s privacy statement.
- Cloudflare Analytics: With Cloudflare Analytics, Olive Cinder monitors site stability and traffic performance. This service doesn't use personal identification cookies but may collect generalized data, such as IP addresses or basic browsing info, to keep the platform secure and running well. None of this data is tied to any individual visitor.
- Google AdSense: Olive Cinder displays ads powered by Google AdSense to help pay for running the site and keeping the content free. AdSense may use cookies to deliver advertisements that match your browsing style, but Olive Cinder can't access or see any of the personal information Google uses for customizing ads. For more on how this data is used, see Google’s privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: This analytics tool gathers anonymized visitor stats, like which pages were viewed or how long people stay. The insights help Olive Cinder discover what recipes are a hit and where improvements are needed. Google Analytics may rely on cookies, but Olive Cinder itself doesn't receive any user-specific info that could identify you personally.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files placed on your device each time you visit Olive Cinder. Both Olive Cinder and our trusted partners use cookies for several reasons to improve how you use the site:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to try and serve up ads tailored to your browsing interests and behaviors.
- Analytics cookies: These come from Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics, collecting site-use information in bulk. This anonymous data lets Olive Cinder fine-tune recipe content and site design based on real visitor journeys.
- Functional cookies: These are essential for letting certain features work smoothly—for example, remembering your language setting or saving your choices about cookie consent. Without these, some parts of Olive Cinder might not function as intended.
By staying on Olive Cinder, you’re agreeing to these cookies as outlined above. It’s your choice—use your browser’s settings to manage or remove cookies as you wish. Most browsers give you options to block or clear cookies, as well as notifications when new cookies are added.
