General Introduction
Citrus Fable is a recipe hub focused on relaxed, no-fuss cooking. You won't need to make an account—Citrus Fable doesn't gather your personal details directly. That means we never sell or share your private info.
Still, we want to be upfront about how certain data might get collected automatically by our partners, like for site analytics, personalized ads, or embedded media. This privacy policy breaks down the ways Citrus Fable and these external tools handle your info, so you know exactly what happens when you browse our recipe collection.
Third-party services we use
Citrus Fable relies on a few outside tools to keep things running smoothly—and to keep offering recipes for free. These third-party services help us see how visitors use Citrus Fable, support the site with ads, and add features like embedded video. Here's a quick rundown of the main services we use:
- Google Analytics: This tool from Google gives us anonymous traffic insights (for example, what pages are visited or how long folks stay). That intel shows us which recipes you love most and where to improve things. Google Analytics tracks info with cookies sometimes, but Citrus Fable doesn’t capture anything that could identify you as a person.
- Google AdSense: Through Google’s ad network, we show advertising on Citrus Fable. Those ads help fund our free content. AdSense cookies let Google show ads relevant to your browsing behavior. All that personal data stays on Google's end—Citrus Fable never receives it. For more details, check Google’s privacy information.
- Cloudflare Analytics: We use Cloudflare to monitor website health and visitors, but it doesn’t use cookies to pinpoint individuals. Cloudflare gathers technical details (like IPs or browser data) just to troubleshoot and keep Citrus Fable reliable and safe. All collected info gets lumped together and isn’t tied to you personally.
- YouTube: Sometimes we embed recipe videos from YouTube (a Google company). If you watch one, YouTube or Google might drop cookies to measure video stats or playback. Logged into Google while watching? YouTube could connect your viewing with your profile. Either way, Citrus Fable itself doesn’t access that personal data. For details, see Google’s privacy notices.
Cookies and your consent
Cookies are tiny files dropped onto your device whenever you swing by Citrus Fable. We—and our partners—use them to make your visit better:
- Essential cookies: These are necessary to keep Citrus Fable running (like remembering your favorite language or privacy choices). Without them, some features might not work correctly.
- Analytics cookies: Used by services like Google Analytics or Cloudflare Analytics, these cookies help us spot trends in how people use Citrus Fable. We look at the big picture—no identifying individuals—to improve performance and make the site more useful.
- Ads cookies: These are set by Google AdSense to show you ads. They keep track of what you’re interested in so you see ads that matter more to you.
By hanging out on Citrus Fable, you agree to these cookies as outlined. You can always change cookie preferences in your browser—block them, delete them, or get a warning before they’re set. Just keep in mind: if you turn off all cookies, your experience on Citrus Fable (and other sites) might not be as smooth.
