General Introduction
Happy Zitoune is a recipe website that celebrates fun and easy cooking. We don't have user logins, and we never ask for your personal info directly. That means we don't sell or share anything personal about you either.
Still, we want to walk you through how some data might be gathered automatically by outside services we use (like stats trackers, personalized ads, or video embeds). This privacy page is here to help you understand these tools and show just how Happy Zitoune keeps your browsing private and secure.
Third-party Services
To keep Happy Zitoune working well and packed with free recipes, we rely on a few partner services. These third-party tools help us see how visitors use the site, support our content with advertising, and add videos to our pages. Here are the main outside services you'll find on Happy Zitoune:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Powered by Cloudflare, this service checks our website’s performance and analyzes traffic data. It does this without cookies that identify you, only collecting general info like your device’s IP address and browsing stats. Everything is blended together, so nothing is tracked back to you personally.
- Google AdSense: This is the advertising platform from Google that puts ads on Happy Zitoune. Ads let us share all our content for free. AdSense may use cookies to show you more relevant ads based on your browsing patterns. We can’t see or access any of the info Google uses for ad targeting. For more, you can check out Google’s own privacy details.
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll find recipes with videos embedded straight from YouTube (which is part of Google). If you watch a YouTube video on Happy Zitoune, YouTube/Google cookies might kick in to save your playbacks or gather stats (like view counts). If you're logged into Google, YouTube may link your viewing history to your account, but we never see that info. Head to YouTube or Google’s privacy policy to learn more.
- Google Analytics: This analytics tool by Google helps us see which recipes people love, how much time is spent here, and which pages are getting hits. It only gives us stats, not names or personal details. Google Analytics can use cookies to follow usage, but original info is never shared with us or anyone else through Happy Zitoune.
Cookies and Consent
Cookies are those tiny files saved on your device when you visit Happy Zitoune. We—and our partner services—use a few types to make everything work smoothly:
- Advertising cookies: These are used by Google AdSense to display ads tailored to you. They may keep track of your browsing habits or interests so the ads feel more relevant.
- Functional cookies: These are required for basics, like remembering your language choices or privacy settings, and keeping key features running. If you turn them off, some parts of Happy Zitoune might not work like they should.
- Analytics cookies: Tools like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics drop these so we can understand how people use Happy Zitoune. It lets us tweak recipes, fix bugs, and boost your experience—but it’s all aggregate, not personal.
By hanging out on Happy Zitoune, you agree to our cookie use as laid out above. You’re free to handle cookies through your browser any time. Most browsers let you remove, block, or get alerts before cookies are added. Just keep in mind, switching off cookies could affect how Happy Zitoune and other sites perform for you.
Changes to this Policy
This privacy policy could change from time to time. We might update it to reflect new features, new third-party tools, or changes in laws or rules. If anything important changes, we’ll post it clearly on our website—like a homepage note or direct alert.
The revision date at the top tells you when this policy was last tweaked. We recommend popping back to this page now and then to stay in the loop on how Happy Zitoune handles your data and privacy.
