General Introduction
Imik Stories is all about making recipes simple and enjoyable. There's no need for you to create an account, and we never directly ask for your personal information. That means your data isn't shared or sold—ever.
Still, some data is gathered automatically by outside services we use for things like site analytics, ads, or embedded video content. This privacy policy breaks down how these tools work, what data might be picked up, and what Imik Stories does to keep your browsing safe while you're on our site.
Third-Party Services
To keep Imik Stories running smoothly and let us share free recipes, we rely on a few outside providers. These services show you videos, help us understand our traffic, and support the site with ads. Here are the main third-party tools you’ll find on Imik Stories:
- YouTube: Sometimes, you’ll see recipe videos on Imik Stories that are hosted by YouTube (run by Google). When you play one, YouTube or Google may drop cookies to track stats like number of plays. If you’re signed into a Google account, YouTube could link your viewing to your profile. Imik Stories never sees any of that info. For more about this, check out Google’s own privacy details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare’s analytics help us monitor how the site’s performing and spot slowdowns or issues. It doesn’t use cookies that would personally identify you. The data we get is general (like IP addresses or navigation info) and always bundled together, not linked to you specifically.
- Google AdSense: This advertising service lets us show ads on Imik Stories and makes it possible to provide free content. AdSense might use cookies to tailor ads to your interests based on how you browse. We don’t access or control the info Google uses for personalizing ads. Want to know more? Check out Google’s privacy explanation.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics allows us to look at overall site trends, like which pages are busiest or how long folks hang around. It collects anonymous visitor info via cookies so that Imik Stories can keep improving. No personal user details ever come to us through Google Analytics.
