General Introduction
Poppy Skillet is all about easy, welcoming recipes. You won’t need an account to use our site and we don’t gather your personal info ourselves. That means we never sell or hand out your details.
However, there are a few ways data might be collected automatically through outside services. Things like traffic analytics, relevant ads, or embedded video might use anonymous info. This page lays out how Poppy Skillet manages your privacy and keeps your data safe whenever you’re browsing with us.
Third-party services we use
To keep Poppy Skillet running smoothly and recipes free to access, we rely on a few third-party tools. These let us better understand your experience, cover costs through advertising, and even show video tutorials. Here’s a rundown of our main partners:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare’s service lets us track site speed and performance. It collects data about site visits—like your IP or navigation patterns—but it’s grouped together and never tied to one person. We use this to troubleshoot problems and keep things secure, and it doesn’t use cookies that single you out.
- YouTube: Sometimes Poppy Skillet embeds videos hosted on YouTube. When you watch one, YouTube (which is part of Google) might drop cookies to track stats like views or playback. If you’re signed into Google, they may associate your viewing with your personal account, but we never see any of that data. For YouTube/Google's approach to privacy, check their own policy.
- Google AdSense: We display ads on poppyskillet.com with the help of Google’s AdSense platform. These ads help fund our content, keeping it free for you. AdSense may use cookies for more useful or targeted ads based on your interests, but we never have access to the personal info Google uses for ad choices. For more, see Google’s privacy page.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics helps us see general trends like popular recipes or how long people spend browsing. It uses cookies for anonymous data gathering, but at Poppy Skillet, we don’t collect anything that could personally identify you.
Cookies and your choices
Cookies are tiny text files that poppyskillet.com or our partners place on your device while you browse. Poppy Skillet and our service providers use these to help the site work better for you:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense might use these cookies to remember what you’re interested in, so you see ads that fit your tastes.
- Functional cookies: These make sure the website remembers your choices—like your language settings or privacy preferences. Without them, some features just won’t run as they should.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to help us see how you use Poppy Skillet. The info is anonymous and helps us improve the site for everyone.
By visiting Poppy Skillet, you’re agreeing to our use of cookies as described here. But you’ve got options—you can manage or erase cookies right in your browser’s settings. Most browsers let you delete or block them, or let you know before they’re put in place. Just a heads-up: turning off cookies might make some parts of Poppy Skillet (and other websites) work less smoothly.
Policy changes
Poppy Skillet’s privacy policy may change from time to time. We’ll review and update it to reflect changes in our practices, the launch of new features, or shifts in the law. If there’s something big to announce, we’ll make it clear—either on our homepage or with a special alert.
The last change is always shown at the top of this page. Check back when you can to keep up to date on how Poppy Skillet manages your privacy.
