General Introduction
Toasty Bloom makes cooking easy and fun for everyone. You don't need an account to access our recipes. We won't ask directly for your personal data, so rest assured that none of your info is sold or shared here.
Even so, some details might get gathered through trusted services that help us improve your visit—like stats, personalized ads or streaming videos. This privacy notice is here to give you the lowdown on how that works. We'll walk you through what automatic data gets picked up and how Toasty Bloom keeps your privacy a priority when you're exploring our site.
Third-party services used
Toasty Bloom depends on select third-party platforms to give you free recipes, analyze site performance and enrich pages with engaging content. These partners help us understand user habits, fund Toasty Bloom through advertising and display videos. Here's a rundown of the main third-party tools on our site, shuffled for clarity:
- YouTube: Occasionally, Toasty Bloom features cooking videos hosted by YouTube (owned by Google). Once you hit play on a video here, YouTube/Google cookies may be used for playback stats (like total views). If you're signed into Google, YouTube can link viewing to your account, but we can't see any of these details. Check YouTube/Google’s privacy page for full info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Toasty Bloom uses Cloudflare Analytics to monitor site health and track visits. It helps us keep Toasty Bloom running quickly and catch technical issues without storing cookies that identify you. Data like browsing history or IP addresses gets combined into group stats and never singles you out.
- Google AdSense: Toasty Bloom shows ads with Google AdSense. These ads let us keep content free for you. AdSense sets cookies to tailor ads based on what you browse. Toasty Bloom doesn't access the personal data Google uses for these recommendations. You'll find more details in Google’s privacy documentation.
- Google Analytics: With Google Analytics, Toasty Bloom collects anonymous info on how people use the site—pages you visit, how long you stay and more. This helps Toasty Bloom discover crowd-favorites and make improvements. Google Analytics uses cookies for tracking, but Toasty Bloom doesn't grab anything that would identify you personally.
Cookies and consent
When you drop by Toasty Bloom, little text files called cookies get saved to your device. Toasty Bloom and its partners use these for a smoother, more tailored browsing:
- Advertising cookies: These give Google AdSense what it needs to show relevant ads. They track preferences and patterns so you'll see better-suited ads as you browse.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics. They help Toasty Bloom learn how many folks visit and browse the website, so we can improve the recipes and make Toasty Bloom run better. Everything gets combined and isn’t linked to you personally.
- Functional cookies: These are the basics Toasty Bloom relies on. They remember your language picks and consent preferences, so things work smoothly. Without them, some Toasty Bloom features might not show up as intended.
When you use Toasty Bloom, you’re agreeing to let us use cookies as described. If you prefer, you can handle cookies through your browser settings: block, delete or require alerts before new ones appear. Keep in mind, switching off cookies may impact Toasty Bloom and other website features.
