Third-party services used
To maintain Whisk n Joy's functionality and continue providing free recipes, we utilize several third-party services. These tools help us analyze site usage patterns, support our content through advertising revenue, and enhance our pages with video material. Here's a breakdown of the main external services we employ:
- Google Analytics: This audience measurement tool from Google collects anonymous traffic data (such as page visits and session duration). These insights help us identify our most appealing recipes and implement site improvements. While Google Analytics may deploy cookies for tracking purposes, Whisk n Joy doesn't collect any personally identifiable information about you.
- Google AdSense: This advertising solution enables us to display promotional content throughout our site. These advertisements support our operation while keeping our content freely accessible.

It helps us identify potential technical issues and maintain optimal site speed and security. The information Cloudflare collects (including IP addresses and browsing data) remains aggregated and isn't used to identify individual users.

When viewing YouTube content on Whisk n Joy, YouTube/Google may place cookies to monitor playback and gather statistics like view counts. If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing activity with your profile, though we have no access to this information.
