General Introduction
Itri Gather is all about easy, enjoyable recipes. You won't need to create an account, and we never directly collect your personal details. That means we don't trade, share, or sell any information about you.
Still, there are certain third-party tools we use to keep things running smoothly. These tools might gather some data automatically for things like viewing statistics, personalized ads, or video embeds. This privacy policy shares exactly how that works, so you'll know what info could be collected by these services, and how Itri Gather protects your data and privacy while you browse our site.
Third-party services used
To keep Itri Gather running well and to offer all recipes completely free, we partner with some third-party services. These partners give us insight into how you use our platform, help us fund content through ads, and make our recipes even better with things like video integration. Here's a look at the main services currently in use:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us check site speed and monitor traffic. No identifying cookies get used, so your identity stays safe. We use their insights to spot issues and keep Itri Gather running fast and securely. Data like your IP address or browse info is grouped together and isn't tied to you personally.
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll see videos on Itri Gather, and those are embedded from YouTube. Watching these may let YouTube/Google put cookies on your device to keep track of video playbacks and counts. If you're signed into a Google account, your viewing might link to your profile, but none of that info is shared with us. Check Google's privacy policy for details.
- Google AdSense: Ads on Itri Gather are shown through Google's AdSense. These ads help keep our site free for everyone. AdSense may save cookies to show you ads that match your interests. Itri Gather doesn't see or access any personal data that Google uses to tailor these ads. You can read more about this in Google's own privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Provided by Google, Analytics lets us look at website usage stats—like which recipes get the most visits or how long visitors stick around. Cookies might be part of this process, but no data is collected that can personally identify you by Itri Gather.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are just little files your browser stores while you browse. Itri Gather works with partners that use cookies to enhance how everything works for you:
- Advertising cookies: These are used by Google AdSense to show ads that suit your interests and habits. They may track what you like and which pages you visit.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics make use of these to collect traffic stats and figures about Itri Gather usage. All info is processed in a way that nobody can single you out, and it helps us keep improving features and recipe content.
- Functional cookies: You may see these in action when Itri Gather remembers your language settings or saves cookie permissions. They're needed for key features to work right, so certain things might not function without them.
Using Itri Gather means you agree with this use of cookies. But you can always head into your browser settings to remove, control, or block cookies at any time. Remember, disabling cookies might affect your experience on Itri Gather or other sites in general.
