General Introduction
Citrus Hollow is all about sharing friendly, easy-to-follow recipes without the hassle. You won't find user accounts here, and Citrus Hollow never directly gathers your personal details. We never sell or share any information that identifies you.
Still, it's important you know that some data might be picked up automatically by outside services we use, like web stats, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy policy breaks down how that works, what gets shared, and how Citrus Hollow works to keep your privacy safe while you browse.
Third-party services used
To keep Citrus Hollow running smoothly and to deliver free recipes, we rely on certain third-party services. These partners help us track site usage, fund the site with ads, and embed fun video content. Take a look at the main services we use:
- Google Analytics: Google offers this tool to help us see which pages are busiest and how people explore Citrus Hollow. It uses cookies to anonymously track visits and time spent—but Citrus Hollow never sees data tied to a person.
- Google AdSense: This is Google's platform for displaying ads on Citrus Hollow. Ads help support our content while remaining free for you. AdSense may use browsing cookies to show ads that match your interests, but Citrus Hollow never accesses that personal info. To dig deeper, visit Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service lets us check traffic patterns and site health. Cloudflare doesn't use identifying cookies; it just aggregates technical data like IP addresses so we can keep Citrus Hollow running securely and quickly.
- YouTube: If you stream one of our recipe videos, YouTube (which is part of Google) might store cookies to track video stats or views. If you're logged in, YouTube might link it to your account. Citrus Hollow doesn't see any of this data. See Google's privacy policy for all the details.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files placed on your device when you visit a site. Both Citrus Hollow and our third-party partners use cookies for a smoother experience on the site:
- Functional cookies: These keep basic site functions working as intended—like remembering your language selection or cookie settings. Without them, some features might break.
- Analytics cookies: Tools like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use data from these cookies to study site traffic and how people move through Citrus Hollow. The info helps us improve the recipes and site layout, and it's always summed up so no one is singled out.
- Advertising cookies: AdSense uses cookies to keep the ads you see relevant to your interests or browsing habits.
By using Citrus Hollow, you agree to our cookie use—as explained above. You always have the option to manage or clear cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you block, delete, or get notified about cookies. Just a heads up: turning off cookies might change how Citrus Hollow (and other websites) works for you.
