General Introduction
Amber Oregano is a cooking recipe platform focused on friendly, easy-to-use browsing. There are no user profiles or accounts, so we never directly collect your personal data. Your information isn't sold or shared with anyone else.
Still, it’s important to explain how some automatic data collection happens through the outside tools Amber Oregano uses to enhance your visit — like traffic metrics, customized ads, and built-in videos. This privacy policy will clearly outline these activities and how Amber Oregano looks after your privacy whenever you drop by the site.
Third-party services used
To keep Amber Oregano up and running, and to offer all our delicious recipes for free, we rely on several outside services. These partners help us learn how folks use the website, display ads that help fund our work, and embed video content. Here are the key third-party solutions we currently use:
- Google Analytics: This analytics solution from Google gives us anonymous reports on site visitors (like which pages get read and for how long). This info guides us on popular recipes and ways to upgrade your experience. Google Analytics places its own cookies, but Amber Oregano never receives data that could identify you.
- Google AdSense: We use Google's ad platform, AdSense, to show ads that support Amber Oregano and keep content free. AdSense cookies help tailor ads based on your browsing patterns. Amber Oregano never has access to the information Google gathers for ad personalization. If you want more details, check out Google’s privacy resources.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare gives us site performance stats and monitors visits, though it doesn't use any cookies that identify you. This helps us spot issues quickly and keeps everything speedy and safe. The information Cloudflare collects, for example your IP or how you browse, is only seen as aggregated stats and isn’t tied to you personally.
- YouTube: Sometimes we share video recipes on Amber Oregano using YouTube, which is owned by Google. Watching these videos may allow YouTube/Google to set cookies that log viewing activity and help with stats (like counting views). If you’re signed into a Google account, your views could be linked to your profile on their platforms. Amber Oregano never sees this personal data. To know more, you can review YouTube and Google’s privacy pages.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are small text files saved to your device during your visit. Amber Oregano and our outside partners use them to help provide a smoother experience:
- Functional cookies: These are required for Amber Oregano to work its best — remembering things like your language preferences and consent settings. Some features won’t work right without them.
- Analytics cookies: These come from services like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics. They collect grouped data about how folks use Amber Oregano, which helps us improve content and optimize performance.
- Advertising cookies: AdSense sets these cookies to display ads. They may store info about your interests or web activity to show you ads you might like.
Visiting Amber Oregano means you accept how we use cookies, as described above. Want more control? You can manage or clear cookies using your browser settings—most browsers let you refuse, remove, or get warnings about cookies. Just keep in mind: if you turn off cookies, Amber Oregano (and other sites) might not work quite as smoothly.
Changes to this policy
This privacy policy may be updated occasionally. We’ll change it if there are new tools, new rules, or updates to how we operate. If we make major changes, we promise to highlight this on the Amber Oregano website—like a notice on our homepage or a special alert.
