A Quick Overview
sizzlelane is a platform all about easy, friendly cooking. We don't use user accounts and never gather your personal info ourselves. Since we don’t hold onto your data, we never share or sell anything about you.
Still, we want you to know that some details might be gathered automatically by outside tools we use for better performance—like tracking visits, personalized ads, and video content. This privacy page breaks down exactly what happens, why we do it, and how sizzlelane works to keep your info secure as you browse.
Which outside services do we use?
To keep sizzlelane running smoothly and let you browse delicious recipes for free, we rely on a few trusted third-party services. These partners help us improve the site, fund our work via ads, and offer engaging video clips. Here’s a quick rundown of the main services sizzlelane uses:
- Google Analytics: Google's audience insights tool provides us with non-personal data about things like pages visited and how long folks stay. This lets us see which dishes are hits and where we can make improvements. Analytics uses cookies to track usage, but sizzlelane doesn’t get any info that can personally identify visitors.
- Google AdSense: Google's ad service displays advertisements throughout sizzlelane.com, helping us support free content. AdSense may drop cookies to show you ads based on what you browse. We don’t see or control any data Google uses to personalize those ads. For full details, you can check Google's own privacy details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare gives us general web traffic and performance updates without relying on cookies that pinpoint you. This helps us catch site issues fast and keep things loading smoothly. Cloudflare collects and aggregates info like IP addresses and browsing patterns, but doesn’t use it to ID anyone personally.
- YouTube: Sometimes, we’ll include video recipes from YouTube (Google’s platform) on sizzlelane. If you watch those, YouTube/Google may set cookies to track views and gather stats (like watch counts). If you’re logged into Google, YouTube could link those views to your account, though sizzlelane never receives that data. Visit YouTube/Google’s privacy sections for more info.
Your cookies, your choice
Cookies are tiny files that get added to your device when you check out a site. sizzlelane, along with our partners, uses cookies so your browsing is more seamless:
- Functional cookies: These are a must-have to keep the website working smoothly—like remembering your chosen language or your cookie preferences. If you disable them, some site options might stop working right.
- Analytics cookies: Used by services like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics, these cookies help us spot usage trends. They're aggregated (not linked to you) and help sizzlelane tweak content and boost performance.
- Ad cookies: Google AdSense cookies help power up the ads you see by tracking your interests and what you’ve been looking at. That way, ads are more relevant to you.
When you browse sizzlelane.com, you’re agreeing to our cookie practices above. You’re free to manage or wipe cookies using your browser settings.
