Introduction to Our Privacy Approach
Ioana Cooks is a straightforward and friendly recipe website. We don’t require user registrations or collect personal data directly from visitors. This means we don't sell or share your personal details.
However, some information might be collected automatically through third-party tools we use to improve your experience, such as tracking how the site’s used, personalizing ads, or embedding videos. This privacy policy clarifies these practices and explains how we work hard to protect your privacy while you enjoy Ioana Cooks.
Third-Party Tools Used
To keep Ioana Cooks running smoothly and free for everyone, we make use of third-party services. These tools help analyze website traffic, fund free recipes through advertisements, and embed helpful videos. Let’s look at the key third-party tools we rely on:
- Google Analytics: This tool tracks anonymous data about site usage, such as which recipes are popular and how long visitors stay. Google Analytics uses cookies for data collection, but Ioana Cooks doesn’t store any personal information about users.

- Cloudflare Analytics: This service monitors traffic and ensures the website performs well. Cloudflare doesn’t use cookies to identify users. It aggregates non-personal data like IP addresses and browsing trends.
- YouTube: Some recipes on Ioana Cooks include video tutorials via YouTube (operated by Google). Watching these videos may trigger YouTube or Google to place cookies on your device. If you’re signed in to Google, this activity could be linked to your account. Ioana Cooks does not have access to this information. See YouTube's privacy policy for details.
