General Introduction
Dune Basil is all about making recipes easy and welcoming for everyone. No accounts are needed, and we never directly gather your personal details. That means we won't sell or share any personal info about our visitors.
However, it's important for us to share how some data can be collected by outside providers that help us enhance your experience—think traffic stats, personalized ads, or embedded recipe videos. This privacy policy is here so you know what data might be gathered automatically, how it happens, and what Dune Basil does to keep your privacy safe while you're browsing dunebasil.com.
Third-party services we use
To keep Dune Basil running smoothly and to offer you free recipe content, we rely on a few external services. These providers help us learn what you enjoy on our site, support our content with ads, and make our culinary pages more lively with videos. Here are the main third-party tools you might encounter:
- YouTube: Recipe videos may be embedded on dunebasil.com using YouTube, which is managed by Google. Viewing these videos can store cookies that monitor playback and gather video stats—like views or engagement. If you're signed into Google, YouTube might connect your views to your account. Dune Basil never has access to this personal data. For details, check Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This tool helps Dune Basil check site speed and monitor website traffic. It doesn't use cookies that identify people. Instead, Cloudflare collects overall data—like IP addresses and browsing activity—to spot technical problems and keep dunebasil.com secure. The info is always grouped and not used to recognize individual users.
- Google AdSense: Ads on Dune Basil are powered by Google's ad service. These ads give us a way to provide free recipes for you. AdSense might use cookies to deliver ads suited to your interests. Dune Basil can't see or access any personal ad data Google uses for this purpose. Full details available in Google's privacy info.
- Google Analytics: This audience-tracking tool, provided by Google, gathers anonymous details about how people use dunebasil.com (like popular pages or how long recipes are viewed). This shows Dune Basil what's working and what to improve. Google Analytics may use cookies to track statistics, but we never see anything that could personally identify you.
