General Overview
Oven Drift is a recipe hub focused on making your kitchen adventures easy and enjoyable. You won't find user logins here. We don't ask for your personal info, so there’s nothing for us to sell or give away.
Still, there are some third-party services we use to make things smoother (like traffic insights, custom ads, or embedded videos). This privacy policy breaks down what info gets gathered automatically through those tools, how we care for your privacy, and how Oven Drift keeps your data safe as you browse.
Third-party partners
To keep Oven Drift running smoothly and recipes free for everyone, we team up with outside services. These providers help us see how the site gets used, offer ads to pay the bills, and add video content where it’s helpful. Here’s a look at the key tools we use:
- Google Analytics: This service helps us measure traffic. It gathers anonymous stats—like which recipes get the most visits and how long folks stay on our pages. Google Analytics may use cookies to track this info, but Oven Drift never collects anything that identifies you directly.
- Google AdSense: Ads you see on Oven Drift come from AdSense, which makes it possible for us to keep sharing recipes at no cost. Google uses cookies to show you ads you might actually want to see. Oven Drift can't access any of the personal details Google uses for ad targeting. For full details, check out Google’s own privacy resources.
- Cloudflare Analytics: We use Cloudflare to keep tabs on performance and traffic, and to spot tech issues before they trip you up. Cloudflare doesn’t use cookies to identify you and bundles the data (like IP addresses or navigation info) so it’s not tied to you as an individual.
- YouTube: Some pages include recipe videos from YouTube. When you play these, YouTube (owned by Google) may set cookies to track playbacks and collect stats, such as view counts. If you're logged into your Google account, YouTube could connect views to your profile, but Oven Drift can't see that info. For more, check Google's and YouTube’s privacy guidelines.
Cookies & your choices
Cookies are tiny files placed on your device when you check out a website. Oven Drift and its outside partners use them to make your browsing better in a few ways:
- Basic cookies: These make sure Oven Drift works like it should (for example, saving your preferences for language or cookies). Some features might not run without them.
- Stats cookies: Both Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to see how people use Oven Drift. All data is grouped together, so we just see general patterns. This helps us work out how to improve content and the site’s performance.
- Ad cookies: Google AdSense drops these in to manage advertising. Based on your browsing, you might see ads tailored to your interests.
By using Oven Drift, you're agreeing to this cookie usage. You can manage or delete cookies anytime in your browser options. Most browsers let you block them, delete them, or warn you before any are stored. Just remember, turning off cookies can change how Oven Drift and other sites work for you.
Policy Updates
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Sometimes it’s to reflect new features, services, or privacy laws. If anything big changes, Oven Drift will clearly let you know—either right on our homepage or with a special notice.
Check the date at the top of this page to see when we last made updates. We suggest stopping by occasionally to review Oven Drift’s privacy approach and stay informed.
