General Introduction
Sage Kettle is all about sharing great recipes in a relaxed and friendly way. You don't need an account to browse, and we never ask for your private details. We don't trade or give away any personal info, period.
Still, there are a few automatic data points collected through outside partners that help us enhance your visit. Stuff like usage stats, personalized ads, or embedded videos rely on their tools and systems. This privacy policy gives you a simple, transparent explanation of how those technologies work, what's gathered, and how Sage Kettle keeps your information safe while you're exploring sagekettle.com.
Third-party services used
To keep Sage Kettle running smoothly and provide you with free recipe tips, we collaborate with several external services. These providers help us analyze site activity, keep the lights on with ads, and enhance your experience with videos. Here's a breakdown of the main outside platforms we use:
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll see videos from YouTube on sagekettle.com. Watching a YouTube clip may save cookies—these track your views and gather stats. If you're signed in to your Google account, YouTube could link your activity to your profile, though Sage Kettle can't see any of this.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare powers web stats and helps us monitor performance, without cookie-based tracking aimed at you directly. Their reports are grouped together and used strictly for technical improvements, never to identify you.
- Google AdSense: AdSense brings you ads, so we can offer our site at no cost to you. They may use cookies to suggest ads based on how you browse. Sage Kettle itself doesn't touch or read any of Google's private data for customizing ads. If you're curious, check out Google's privacy details.
- Google Analytics: This service checks visitor numbers and where folks spend time on sagekettle.com. We use it to spot popular recipes and see what could be improved. The stats are anonymous, and while cookies may help log visits, nothing personally recognizable is ever collected or shared by Sage Kettle.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text chunks saved on your device when visiting a website. Sage Kettle, along with its partners, relies on cookies to make your experience smoother:
- Advertising cookies: Sage Kettle works with Google AdSense, and these cookies might remember what interests you or how you browse, so ads can be matched with your preferences.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics to gather traffic and usage trends for sagekettle.com. Insights we get are merged together and guide site updates—these don't pinpoint you individually.
- Functional cookies: The must-have cookies! They keep site features running (like remembering your choices or preferred language). Some functions just wouldn't be possible without them.
By using sagekettle.com, you're agreeing to the cookie policy outlined here. You can always delete or manage cookies using your browser tools—most browsers let you block, remove, or get alerts before any are stored. Turning off cookies could change your browsing experience on Sage Kettle and other sites.
Changes to this policy
This privacy policy might be tweaked or updated over time. If we add new technology, change the way we work, or adjust for new rules, you'll see it reflected here. Whenever there's a big update, we'll make it obvious with a notice on sagekettle.com—maybe right on the homepage or by sending out an alert.
