Privacy Policy

Updated July 13, 2025. Plum Oven doesn’t have user accounts and won’t ask for personal data. But we do use some cookies and third-party tools so you get the best experience possible.

General Introduction

Plum Oven is your go-to spot for easy, friendly recipes. You won't need an account to browse, and Plum Oven never directly requests or stores your personal details. So, your information's never sold or shared with outside parties.

Still, there are instances where automated tools might collect certain data while you’re visiting Plum Oven—like analytics tracking, customized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy policy is here to spell out what gets collected, why it happens, and the ways Plum Oven safeguards your info while you’re browsing.

Third-party services

To keep Plum Oven running smoothly and bring you free recipes, we use a couple third-party tools. These tools give us insights into site usage, support our content through ads, and make page content richer with videos. Here’s a look at the main ones Plum Oven relies on:

  • Google Analytics: Google’s analytics platform lets us review anonymous traffic stats, like which pages folks visit or how long they stay. This helps Plum Oven figure out what’s popular and what needs improvement. Google Analytics does use cookies to keep track, but Plum Oven never gathers anything that identifies you personally.
  • Google AdSense: Powered by Google, AdSense places ads on Plum Oven to help cover costs and keep content free. It employs cookies to show ads tailored to your interests and browsing. Plum Oven doesn’t see or access any personal info that Google uses for customizing ads. For full details, check Google’s privacy policy.
  • Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare’s web analysis tool tracks site performance and traffic, but never uses cookies identifying individuals. It helps Plum Oven swiftly catch problems and ensures a speedy, secure site. Info like your IP address and browsing is collected in bulk—Plum Oven can’t connect it to you directly.
  • YouTube: Sometimes, Plum Oven will embed recipe videos straight from YouTube (owned by Google). If you play a video, YouTube/Google cookies get set, tracking things like views and playback stats. If you’re logged into Google, YouTube may add the viewing to your profile, but Plum Oven doesn’t see any of that info. You can learn more in YouTube’s privacy policy.

  • Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to track site usage and traffic. They collect info in bulk, helping Plum Oven understand how folks use the site and make tweaks for performance or content.
