General Introduction
Basil Rise is a recipe platform all about friendly cooking and straightforward simplicity. You won't find user profiles here, and Basil Rise never asks for your personal details directly. That means we don't sell or share any of your personal info—ever.
Still, it's important to know that some data may be gathered automatically through tools we use, like analytics, ads, or video embeds, to make your experience better. This privacy notice is here to walk you through how these work, which info gets collected, and what Basil Rise does to protect your privacy while you're browsing basilrise.com.
Third-party services used
To keep Basil Rise running smoothly and continue offering free access to all our recipes, we rely on a few outside services. These third-party platforms help us see how you interact with basilrise.com, fund our content via advertising, and add useful videos to our pages. Here's a look at the main ones we use:
- YouTube: We occasionally embed cooking videos from YouTube on basilrise.com. When you play a video, YouTube and its owner (Google) may use cookies to monitor playback and collect viewing stats (like how many people watched). If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link activity to your profile, but Basil Rise can't view any of this info. For details, check out YouTube/Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us track basilrise.com's speed and traffic, so we can spot any tech issues fast. Data gathered by Cloudflare (such as your IP and browsing actions) is bunched together—it's never used to identify you personally, and no identifying cookies are dropped.
- Google AdSense: This ad platform lets us show ads across basilrise.com, helping cover our costs and still keep content free. AdSense might use cookies to give you ads matched to your browsing habits. Basil Rise doesn't access or see the personal data Google uses to tailor ads. You can get more details in Google's own privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: A Google service that anonymously tracks visitors—like pages you view and how long you stay. These insights show us what's popular on basilrise.com and ways to make everything better. Basil Rise won't ever receive info that reveals your identity, even if Analytics uses cookies for tracking.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files that land on your device when you visit a site. Basil Rise and our outside partners use cookies to enhance how you browse basilrise.com:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense places these to help match ads to your interests and surfing patterns, so ads stay relevant.
- Analytics cookies: You'll find Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics using these to collect info about visits and site usage. The data stays grouped and helps Basil Rise tweak features and performance.
- Functional cookies: These are crucial for basilrise.com to work (like remembering your language choice or cookie permissions). Without them, some features might not show up or work right.
By going ahead and using basilrise.com, you're agreeing to let us set cookies as explained above. You can adjust your cookie settings or erase cookies at any time through your browser tools. Most browsers let you block, remove, or warn you before storing cookies. Keep in mind—turning off cookies might change your experience (on basilrise.com and everywhere else).
