General Introduction
Pecan Pan is all about easy recipes and a friendly, relaxed vibe in the kitchen. You don’t have to create an account, and we never ask for your personal info directly. That means we don’t sell or distribute any of your details.
But we’d like to be upfront about some data that can get collected automatically by third-party tools, which we rely on to improve your experience. These can include things like video embeds, website analytics, or personalized ads. This privacy policy spells out what info those tools might gather and what steps Pecan Pan takes to keep your browsing secure every time you visit.
Third-party services used
Pecan Pan depends on several third-party providers to run smoothly and keep our recipe collection free for everyone. These partners help us display video content, analyze traffic, and keep the site running with ad support. Here's a rundown of the main services involved:
- Google Analytics: Google’s tool offers anonymous insight into our visitors’ behavior, such as which pages are accessed most or how long folks stay. Google Analytics might save cookies to track stats, but any data is aggregated—Pecan Pan never gathers info that singles out any user.
- Google AdSense: This service lets us show you ads that help pay for all the free content. AdSense may set cookies to tailor which ads appear based on your activity. Pecan Pan can’t see or access personal info Google might use to personalize those ads. For more on this, you can read up on Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare gives us performance insights so we can quickly spot technical hiccups and make sure Pecan Pan stays speedy and safe. The info Cloudflare gets (like browsing habits or your IP) is bundled together, not used to identify you. And they don’t need cookies for this data.
- YouTube: Sometimes you’ll find embedded recipe videos on Pecan Pan from YouTube (owned by Google). Watch one, and YouTube/Google might drop cookies to keep track of stats like views. If you’re signed into your Google account, your video play could link to your profile, but Pecan Pan doesn’t see this info. If you want, check out the privacy details from Google/YouTube.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny data files your browser saves when you visit a website. Pecan Pan, along with its service partners, uses cookies to make your browsing smoother:
- Essential cookies: These are needed for Pecan Pan to work — like remembering your settings or which language you like. They’re what ensures features run as intended.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics or Cloudflare, these keep track of overall traffic so we understand what people love most. That way, we can deliver stronger content and improve how Pecan Pan runs. Everything’s anonymous and grouped together, not traceable to you personally.
- Advertising cookies: These are set by Google AdSense to show you ads that are more likely to interest you, based on how you browse.
When you use Pecan Pan, you’re agreeing to these cookie uses. But you’re in control — your browser lets you block, accept, or remove cookies, and can even warn you when cookies are about to be stored. Just know that blocking cookies might impact how Pecan Pan (or other sites) work for you.
