General Introduction
Basil Peak is all about sharing easy and inviting recipes. You won't need to make an account, and we don’t directly gather your personal details. That means we don’t sell or pass on your personal info to others.
Still, there are some ways certain third-party tools might automatically pick up data—like for analytics, relevant advertising, and video embeds, all to help make your time on Basil Peak better. This privacy policy breaks down how that works and what steps we take to look after your information and privacy whenever you visit Basil Peak.
Third-Party Services We Use
To keep Basil Peak running smoothly and free for everyone, we rely on a range of outside services. These help us track site use, fund our work with ads, and add video content right to our pages. Here are the main external services we use:
- Google Analytics: This is a tool from Google that anonymously gathers details like page views and how long visitors stay. It lets us see what’s popular and where Basil Peak can grow, using cookies for tracking. At no point does Basil Peak gather anything that could identify you personally.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform puts sponsored content on Basil Peak and helps us keep our recipes free for you. It personalizes ads based on your browsing with cookies, but Basil Peak never sees or accesses your personal info. Want more info? You can always check Google’s own privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: With this tool, we can keep an eye on site speed and traffic trends without any cookies that point to who you are. Cloudflare looks at info like IP address or browser type, but only in a way that’s grouped with other visitors—not tied to you personally. This helps keep Basil Peak quick and reliable.
- YouTube: Occasionally, Basil Peak features recipes through YouTube videos (which is part of Google). Watching these on our site may set YouTube/Google cookies for things like stats on how many people watched. If you’re logged in to a Google account, YouTube could link your viewing to your profile, but Basil Peak doesn't get access to any of that data. For details, see YouTube or Google’s privacy guidelines.
Cookies and Your Choices
When you pop over to Basil Peak, cookies—tiny text files—might be saved on your device. Basil Peak and a few trusted partners use these to make your visit smoother:
- Essential cookies: These are needed to help the site work as it should (like saving your language picks or consent). Some features may not function right without them.
- Analytics cookies: Tools like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use them to collect info about how folks move through Basil Peak. The data is grouped together and helps us make improvements so your experience keeps getting better.
- Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense, they pick up on your interests or browsing to show you ads that are more on point for you.
By browsing Basil Peak, you agree to how we use cookies as described here. You’ve got the power to change or remove cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or clear cookies or get a warning before they’re set. Keep in mind, turning cookies off might change how Basil Peak or some other sites work for you.
How We Update This Policy
This privacy policy might be updated from time to time. Sometimes it's because we change the way we do things, start using new services, or need to follow new rules. If there are big changes, Basil Peak will let you know on the homepage or through a special notice.
You can always see the last time we made updates by checking the date at the top of this policy. We suggest dropping by now and then to stay in the loop about how Basil Peak handles your privacy.
