Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2025. brightbasilblog doesn’t have user profiles and won’t collect your personal details directly. Some cookies and external services, though, help make your visit even better.

Welcome & Overview

brightbasilblog is all about easy cooking and a warm community spirit. We don't make you sign up or store your personal info. That means your details aren't shared or sold—ever.

That said, we think it's important you know a few things. Some features on brightbasilblog rely on outside tools that gather data automatically—for stuff like website traffic, ads, or embedded videos. This privacy page lays out in plain terms how these work and what we do to safeguard your privacy whenever you’re browsing brightbasilblog.

Our Third-Party Providers

To keep brightbasilblog running smoothly and offer you all those free recipes, we rely on several outside partners. They help us track site performance, serve up video content, and support us with ad revenue. Here's a quick look at our main third-party partners:

  • YouTube: When we embed video recipes, they're hosted on YouTube (that's a Google service). Watching videos on brightbasilblog could prompt YouTube/Google to set cookies for things like tracking playbacks or counting views. If you’re logged into a Google account, they might link view activity to you, but we don’t have access to any of that. You can read more details in Google’s privacy policy if you want.
  • Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare analyzes website visits for us so we can spot technical problems and keep everything running fast and safe. It doesn’t use identifying cookies, and info like IP addresses is presented as aggregates so you’re not personally pinpointed.
  • Google AdSense: This is how we display ads on brightbasilblog. Ads let us keep sharing delicious content without charging you. AdSense cookies may tailor which ads you see by tracking what you like online, but brightbasilblog never sees or stores this data. Check Google’s policies if you’re curious how they use it.
  • Google Analytics: This tool, also from Google, lets us see anonymous stats about how people use brightbasilblog—like popular pages or visit durations. The data doesn’t ID you specifically. Cookies may be used for tracking, but again, nothing is personally tied back to you through brightbasilblog.

Cookies & Your Choices

Cookies are tiny files your device saves when you visit a site. brightbasilblog and its service partners use cookies to enhance your visit:

  • Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense, these personalize which ads you see based on your interests and browsing patterns.
  • Analytics cookies: Used by Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics. This data, gathered in bulk, helps us see how people interact with brightbasilblog’s content so we can make improvements.
  • Functional cookies: These let brightbasilblog remember stuff like your chosen language or cookie consent settings. If these aren’t enabled, some site options might stop working right.

By continuing to use brightbasilblog, you’re agreeing to our use of cookies as explained. If you wish, you can handle or erase cookies anytime through your browser settings. Most browsers let you delete, block, or get alerts about cookies. Keep in mind, shutting them off might change how brightbasilblog (and other websites) function for you.
