Overview
Basil Hollow is all about easy, enjoyable recipes—no accounts required. We don't request your personal details, so your information isn't sold or exchanged here.
Still, there are some third-party tools running behind the scenes (like analytics, personalized ads, and video embeds) that might automatically collect some info to enhance your visit. This privacy policy lays out, in plain language, what gets collected, how your privacy stays protected, and what happens when you spend time at Basil Hollow.
Which third-party tech do we use?
Basil Hollow runs smoothly and stays free by partnering with third-party services. These help us analyze how folks use the site, support us through advertising, and add video content for extra flavor. Here are the primary third-party tools you'll find on Basil Hollow:
- Google Analytics: This tracking tool by Google gathers anonymous stats on site activity—like which pages are popular or how long people stick around. It uses cookies, but nothing here is linked to your identity. Basil Hollow never sees any data that could personally identify you.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform gives us a way to offer free content by showing ads. Cookies personalize the ads you see, but again, Basil Hollow can’t access any private data that Google uses for ad targeting. You’ll find more details in Google’s own privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this tool lets us monitor site traffic and performance without cookies that single you out. Data like IP addresses and device info help us keep Basil Hollow running fast and safely, but it's all aggregated and never used to identify you personally.
- YouTube: Want to watch a recipe video on Basil Hollow? They're hosted on YouTube. Playing a video might set Google/YouTube cookies for view counts or stats. If you’re logged into a Google account, YouTube could link your viewing to your Google profile—though Basil Hollow doesn’t have access to this information. Check out Google or YouTube’s policy for more on this.
About cookies and your choices
Cookies—those tiny text files on your device—make Basil Hollow work better for you. With help from our third-party partners, we use cookies to enhance your time here:
- Functional cookies: These are must-haves for basic operation, like saving your language settings or tracking your consent preferences. Without them, some features may fail to work right.
- Analytics cookies: Tools like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to collect traffic data. Everything’s bundled and anonymous, which helps us see what works best and fine-tune both content and site speed.
- Ad cookies: Google AdSense uses these to show you ads that match your interests or recent browsing activity. It’s all about making advertising more relevant to you.
By hanging out on Basil Hollow, you agree to how we use cookies as explained above. It’s up to you to handle cookie settings through your browser—most let you delete or block them, or give a heads-up before anything gets stored. Keep in mind, turning cookies off could change how Basil Hollow (and other sites) work for you.
Policy changes
This privacy policy may be updated now and then. We’ll change it if our approach shifts, we add fresh services, or a new rule comes into play. Should major changes arrive, you'll spot a clear message right on the site—maybe a homepage alert or a special announcement.
Look at the top of this policy to see when it was last revised. For the latest info on how Basil Hollow handles privacy, it’s a good idea to revisit this page every so often.
