General Introduction
picnicandpan is all about making cooking easy and enjoyable. We don't use user profiles and won't ask for your personal details directly. That means picnicandpan never shares or sells your private data.
Still, you should know that some information might be gathered automatically by outside services we use to enhance your visit—like for site analytics, personalized ads, or showing videos. This privacy policy is here to give you a straightforward overview of how picnicandpan protects your privacy and manages any data while you’re browsing.
Third-party services used
To keep picnicandpan running smoothly and to bring you free recipes, we rely on several third-party tools. These partners help us gauge audience activity, support our work with advertising, and let us add rich video content. Below are the primary external services used on picnicandpan:
- Google Analytics: This Google-powered analytics tool allows us to see general patterns—like which pages you check out and for how long. It lets us know which recipes are hits and guides our improvements. It uses cookies but never sends picnicandpan any data that could personally tie information to you.
- Google AdSense: With Google's ad platform, picnicandpan can show relevant ads and keep our content free for users. AdSense uses cookies for personalized ads, but picnicandpan doesn't access any details Google collects for these purposes. Want to know more? Check out Google’s own privacy info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service, from Cloudflare, gives us an overview of website performance and visitor numbers—without cookies that single you out. It helps picnicandpan find technical issues and keeps your browsing smooth and secure. Cloudflare combines data (like IP and browsing actions), making sure it’s never linked back to just you.
- YouTube: When you watch an embedded cooking demo on picnicandpan, YouTube (run by Google) may put tracking cookies in place to keep count and monitor engagement. If you’re already logged into a Google account, those activities could be matched with your profile, but picnicandpan doesn’t see any of that info. Head to YouTube or Google’s privacy pages for the fine print.
