General Introduction
Welcome to whiskandwok, where you’ll find easy recipes in a friendly, no-fuss environment. There are no profiles or logins here, and we don’t gather your personal details. That means your information isn’t sold or shared—ever.
Still, we think it’s important to explain how some data gets collected automatically by tools we use (like site analytics, personalized ads, or embedded videos). This privacy page gives you a straightforward rundown of what happens behind the scenes at whiskandwok and how your privacy stays protected whenever you browse our site.
Third-party services used
To keep whiskandwok running smoothly and recipes free for everyone, we rely on a few outside services. These help us learn what you enjoy, support the site with ads, and add video content. Here’s a quick overview of the key third-party services we work with:
- Google Analytics: This is a tracking tool by Google that helps us see general site usage patterns like which pages get the most attention or how long folks stick around. Google Analytics might use cookies, but whiskandwok never receives anything that can actually identify you.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ads service lets us display ads here, helping us cover our costs so you get free recipes. AdSense uses cookies to show ads relevant for you, but whiskandwok can’t access the personal info Google uses for these ads. For details, check out Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service from Cloudflare lets us monitor traffic and site speed. It doesn’t use cookies that identify you. The information (like your IP address and browsing stats) is aggregated for overall analysis of performance, and it’s never used to single you out.
- YouTube: Sometimes, you’ll see videos right on whiskandwok pages—these are hosted on YouTube (which is part of Google). When you play one, YouTube or Google could save cookies to track things like video views. If you’re signed into Google, they might link this activity to your account, but whiskandwok never gets that info. For more, see Google’s or YouTube’s privacy policy.

- Functional cookies: These are crucial for things like remembering your language selection or privacy preferences. Without them, parts of the website might not function as intended.
- Analytics cookies: Services like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics rely on these to understand traffic and user behavior. All of this info is combined and helps us improve the site and recipes you see on whiskandwok.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense places these to deliver you ads matched to your interests and browsing patterns.
