General Introduction
Akal Kitchenette is all about easy and friendly cooking inspiration. You won't need an account here, and we don't actively gather personal info from you. That means your details aren't sold or shared by us—ever.
That said, we want you to know some outside services help us run the site. These tools may automatically collect data—like traffic insights, personalized ads, or when we show you videos. This privacy page explains what happens behind the scenes, and how Akal Kitchenette protects your privacy as you browse our site.
Third-party services used
To keep Akal Kitchenette running smoothly—and to bring you our recipes free of charge—we rely on a few third-party services. These partners help us track site performance, add rich features like video, and display ads to support our work. Here’s a summary of the important outside services we use:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this service collects web traffic info and lets us keep the site secure and fast. It doesn’t use cookies that single you out. Aggregated data like your IP address or browsing details can help us troubleshoot technical hiccups, but we can’t identify you personally.
- YouTube: We occasionally embed recipe videos hosted on YouTube (which is part of Google). Watching these on Akal Kitchenette may add YouTube/Google cookies for performance stats or playback tracking (like view counts). If you’re logged into your Google account, your viewing could be linked to your Google profile, though we never get access to this info. For more on this, check Google’s privacy details.
- Google AdSense: This advertising tool, also from Google, helps us show ads on Akal Kitchenette so we can continue to offer free recipes. AdSense may use cookies to suggest ads that better fit your interests, based on your clicks and browsing. However, we don’t see or control any personal data collected by Google for ad targeting. For their full policy, visit Google’s privacy page.
- Google Analytics: Google’s tracking solution shows us what visitors enjoy most (pages, time spent, and more), helping us improve Akal Kitchenette’s content and navigation. Google Analytics tracks anonymous stats through cookies—it never gives us details that could identify you.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files saved on your device when you visit any website. Akal Kitchenette and our independent partners use these cookies to give you a better experience:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to tailor which ads you see, based on your browsing patterns or interests.
- Analytics cookies: Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics set these cookies so we can understand site use and traffic. Data from these cookies is grouped together, helping us make Akal Kitchenette better and faster.
- Functional cookies: These are necessary so the site works flawlessly. For instance, they can remember your language or if you’ve accepted cookies. Without these, certain features might not function as they should.
By picking Akal Kitchenette, you agree to our use of cookies as explained above. You’re in control—managing or clearing cookies can be handled in your browser settings. Most browsers let you block, erase, or be notified before cookies are set. Just a heads-up: turning off cookies might cause some hiccups not only on Akal Kitchenette, but on other sites too.
