General Introduction
kitchenkindred is all about easy recipes and a friendly vibe. We never ask you to create an account, and we don't gather your personal details directly. This means your personal data isn't sold or shared by us.
Still, there are some pieces of information that may be gathered automatically through outside tools we use. Things like site stats, personalized advertising, or embedded videos may involve data collection. In this privacy policy, we want to walk you through what info third parties might collect and how we prioritize your privacy when you visit kitchenkindred.
Third-party services used
To keep kitchenkindred running smoothly and to share free recipes, we rely on several external tools. These help us understand how the site gets used, support our content through ads, and bring videos onto our pages. Here are the key third-party services we work with:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this lets us check how the site’s performing and monitor traffic. It doesn’t use cookies that identify you, but collects things like IP addresses and browser data, all of which gets grouped together so no one is personally identified. This helps us quickly fix issues and keep everything fast and secure.
- YouTube: Sometimes, you’ll see a recipe video from YouTube (owned by Google) embedded right on our site. If you hit play, YouTube/Google may set cookies to track how the video’s watched and basic stats (like total views). If you’re logged into Google, YouTube could link your viewing to your account—but kitchenkindred can’t see any of that info. You can find out more in YouTube and Google's privacy documents.
- Google AdSense: This is Google’s ad tool that lets us show you ads so we can offer free content. AdSense may use cookies to pick ads that suit your browsing interests, but kitchenkindred never sees or handles any personal details used by Google for ad targeting. For further details, you can check Google’s privacy guidelines.
- Google Analytics: Google provides this for site stats. It gathers non-personal info like which pages get the most traffic and how long visits last, using cookies to track these details. This helps us improve your kitchenkindred experience. We don’t collect or receive anything that personally identifies you.

- Performance cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to gather anonymous info about how people use kitchenkindred. We take those insights to tweak our content and keep the site speedy.
