General Introduction
Lento Cook is all about easy, friendly cooking. Our platform skips user accounts and we never directly gather your personal info. That means your data isn't sold or shared—ever.
That said, we think it's important you know how some details might be gathered through outside services we rely on. Things like advertising, embedded videos, or website stats. This privacy page explains what gets collected, how, and what Lento Cook does to keep your experience safe and private.
Third-party services used
Lento Cook works with several trusted third parties to keep the site running smoothly, offer you free recipe content, and make our pages more engaging. These partners support us by providing video content, analyzing site traffic, and running ads. Here are some key services involved:
- Google Analytics: Google runs this popular insights tool. It helps track site visits and time spent, so we know which recipes get the most love and where to make things better. Google Analytics uses cookies for anonymous stats, but Lento Cook never gets personal data about you.
- Google AdSense: Ads seen on Lento Cook are powered by this Google platform. They help fund the site while keeping content free for you. AdSense may use cookies to tailor ads to your interests, but Lento Cook can't access or view any private info behind the process. Feel free to check out Google's own privacy pages for more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare keeps an eye on website performance and traffic trends. It's a tool that doesn't use cookies tied to individuals. Collected info (like your IP or how you browse) is grouped together, just so we can spot any technical hiccups and keep things reliable.
- YouTube: Sometimes, you'll find recipe videos here from YouTube, a Google-owned service. If you play one, YouTube/Google might place cookies to help them count views and understand playback patterns. Logged into Google? They could link your watch record to your profile, but Lento Cook can't see this info. For more, you can read up on YouTube/Google's privacy terms.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files stored on your device when you visit places online. Lento Cook, along with select partners, uses cookies to boost your experience while you're here:
- Functional cookies: These keep the website ticking (like remembering language settings or your consent preferences). Without them, some things just won't work right.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to spot how visitors interact on Lento Cook. The info is combined and not personal—it's just to help us improve pages and content.
- Advertising cookies: Helped by Google AdSense, these track your browsing habits to show you ads that are a better fit for you.
Sticking around on Lento Cook means you agree to these cookies. Want to manage or clear them? You can do that in your browser settings. Most browsers let you delete, block, or get a warning when cookies try to install. Keep in mind, turning off cookies might change how Lento Cook—and many other sites—work for you.
