General Introduction
Stellar Crust is a recipe platform designed for ease and connection. We don’t require you to sign up, and we never gather your personal information directly. That means your personal data isn’t sold or traded anywhere.
Even so, we want to be upfront about a few things. Some data can be automatically captured by tools from our trusted partners—like for traffic measurement, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy policy breaks down what data gets collected, how it’s used, and the steps Stellar Crust’s taken to respect your privacy every time you visit our site.
Third-party services used
Stellar Crust relies on several partner services to keep the website working smoothly, offer free access to all our recipes, and add extras like videos. These tools help us better understand how folks use Stellar Crust, support our operations through advertising, and enhance your browsing. Here’s a rundown of the main third-party tools we put to work:
- Google Analytics: This Google service tracks website activity, giving us insights into things like which pages get visited most or how long people stay. It uses cookies to collect anonymous info, but Stellar Crust’s never given your identity. These stats guide us so we keep improving what you see.
- Google AdSense: Our ads come from Google’s ad network. These ads support the site and let us provide all our recipes at no cost. Cookies from AdSense keep the ads more relevant to your interests. Stellar Crust doesn’t view or control the data that Google uses for ad targeting. For detailed info, check out Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us look at site performance and monitor traffic trends without using tracking cookies that identify anyone. The collected data, including browser details or your IP, is combined with data from others—never used to pin-point you individually. This keeps our site fast and reliable.
- YouTube: Sometimes, videos from YouTube are embedded (YouTube is operated by Google). If you watch these clips on Stellar Crust, YouTube/Google might set cookies to gather stats or remember where you left off. If you’re signed into a Google account, YouTube can link view data to your profile, though Stellar Crust doesn’t have access to any of this information. For more details, see YouTube/Google’s privacy resources.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are brief bits of text saved on your device whenever you visit a site. Stellar Crust and its service partners use cookies to enhance how you explore our recipes:
- Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense to bring you ads. These might keep track of your interests or browsing style so the ads make more sense to you.
- Analytics cookies: Working with Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics, these cookies gather visitor data so we can see how you use Stellar Crust. Everything’s grouped together with other users. This helps us tweak our features and content.
- Functional cookies: These are necessary for things like language choices or remembering if you’ve accepted cookies. The site can’t run right without them, and some features may not be available if you block these.
By using Stellar Crust, you’re agreeing to the cookies described here. You can always change or erase cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers give you the tools to block, remove, or get a heads-up about cookies before they're set. Just keep in mind—turning off cookies might make Stellar Crust and other sites work differently.
