General Introduction
Pan Patriot is a culinary destination that embraces straightforward cooking and community spirit. We don't maintain user accounts or directly gather your personal details. As a result, we never sell or distribute any personal information about you.
We'd still like to clarify how certain data might be automatically collected through third-party services we utilize to enhance your browsing experience (such as site analytics, customized ads and video content). This privacy statement serves to transparently inform you about these practices and how we safeguard your information and privacy while you explore Pan Patriot.
Third-party services used
To ensure Pan Patriot runs smoothly and to keep offering complimentary recipes, we employ several third-party services. These tools help us analyze site usage, support our content through advertisements, and enhance our pages with video materials. Here's a breakdown of the primary third-party services we utilize:
- Google Analytics: An audience measurement tool from Google that gathers anonymous site traffic information (such as page views, session duration). These insights help us identify our most beloved recipes and make site improvements. Google Analytics might deploy cookies for data tracking, but Pan Patriot doesn't collect any personally identifiable information.
- Google AdSense: This advertising solution from Google enables ad placement throughout our site. These advertisements support our operations while providing you with free content. AdSense might utilize cookies to display relevant ads based on your browsing behavior. Pan Patriot can't access the personal data Google uses for ad customization. You'll find more details in Google's privacy documentation.
- Cloudflare Analytics: A traffic analysis platform provided by Cloudflare. It enables us to track site performance and visitor flow without using identification cookies. This helps us identify potential technical issues and maintain a fast, secure website. Information gathered by Cloudflare (including IP addresses and browsing data) is consolidated and isn't used for individual identification.
- YouTube: We occasionally integrate cooking videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned platform). When viewing YouTube videos on Pan Patriot, YouTube/Google may place cookies to monitor playback and compile statistics (like view counts). If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing activity to your profile, though we have no access to this information. Further details are available in YouTube/Google's privacy documentation.
