General Introduction
Claro Akal is a recipe platform all about making things easy and enjoyable. You won't find user accounts here and we don't ask for your personal details. That means we never sell or distribute any information about you.
Even so, we believe in being open about the way certain data might be collected automatically thanks to outside services. These can boost your experience, with things like analytics, custom ads, or embedded media. This privacy policy's here to give you a straightforward breakdown of how this works, what gets collected, and how your privacy is handled on Claro Akal.
Third-party services used
To keep Claro Akal running smoothly—and to keep recipes free for you—we partner up with a few outside services. They help us get insights into how you use the site, make content possible through advertising, and bring you extra features like videos. Here's a look at the key third-party platforms we rely on:
- YouTube: Sometimes, we share recipe videos right on our site with YouTube embeds. Watching one on Claro Akal means YouTube/Google may drop cookies to track viewing and collect stats (like how many times it's been played). If you're logged into your Google account, YouTube might link your viewing activity with your profile. We don’t have access to any of this info. For more about what’s collected, check out YouTube/Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This tool lets us analyze site traffic and monitor performance, all without cookies that point back to you. It's helpful for spotting technical hiccups and keeping Claro Akal fast and safe to use. Data Cloudflare gathers (such as browsing details or your IP) is combined with aggregate stats—it’s never used to personally pinpoint you.
- Google AdSense: To serve up ads (which help keep content free), we use Google’s advertising network. AdSense relies on cookies to figure out what you might like to see, serving up ads tailored to your browsing patterns. We don't get access to your personal details used in ad selection. For their full policy, visit Google's privacy guidelines.
- Google Analytics: This is Google's platform for understanding audience trends. It gathers anonymized site data (for instance, visited pages or how long people stay). These insights show us which recipes folks love and help us figure out what needs improvement. Cookies may be used for data collection, but Claro Akal never accesses anything that would identify you.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are those tiny text files saved on your device when you visit a website. Both Claro Akal and our third-party partners make use of cookies to make your visit smoother:
- Functional cookies: These are necessary for the site to do its job, like remembering which language you picked or what permissions you've agreed to. Without them, the site’s features might not work as they should.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to display ads that could be more relevant to your interests and browsing habits.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics rely on these to gather anonymous info about how people use the site. The data's always aggregated, which helps us see how people interact with Claro Akal so we can make it better.
By using Claro Akal, you agree to our use of cookies spelled out here. If you want, you can manage or remove cookies by tweaking your browser’s settings. Most browsers let you block or erase cookies, or get notified before any are set. Just know, disabling cookies could affect how Claro Akal (as well as other sites) works for you.
