General Introduction
Soft Smida is all about sharing recipes in a relaxed and simple way. There's no need to create an account here, and Soft Smida never asks for your personal info directly. That means your data isn't shared or sold with anyone else.
Even so, we want you to know that a few outside tools collect some info automatically. These might help with things like site stats, showing you ads, or letting you watch videos. This privacy notice is here to give you a straightforward look at these tools and explain what Soft Smida does to keep your privacy safe while you browse.
Third-party services we use
To keep Soft Smida running smoothly and continue offering you great, free recipes, we rely on a few external services. These partners help us understand what you enjoy, support the site through ads, and let us include video content. Here are the key third-party services you'll find at Soft Smida:
- Google Analytics: This is Google's tracking tool that gathers traffic details, like how long people visit or which pages are viewed. It gives us helpful insights, showing which recipes are a hit and helping Soft Smida make things better. Google Analytics may place cookies, but Soft Smida never gets anything that would identify who you are.
- Google AdSense: Through this Google-advertising service, we display ads on Soft Smida. Ads help us keep the content free for you. AdSense can use cookies to suggest ads that match your interests, based on your browsing. All ad personalization data stays with Google — Soft Smida never sees your personal info. To find out more, you can check Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this tool helps us keep an eye on website performance and visitor numbers without cookies that can ID you. This way, Soft Smida can fix bugs, troubleshoot, and maintain site speed and security. Cloudflare gathers things like IP addresses within a big pool of users, so nobody's singled out by name.
- YouTube: Sometimes we show you recipe videos hosted on YouTube (which belongs to Google). Watching a YouTube video here might let YouTube/Google save cookies to track video plays and count views. If you're logged into your Google account, YouTube may connect this to your profile, but Soft Smida doesn't see any of that. For more details, Google and YouTube each have their own privacy policy you can check.
Cookie use and choices
Cookies are tiny text files saved to your device whenever you visit a site. Both Soft Smida and the outside tools it works with use cookies to make things smoother for you:
- Functional cookies: These are necessary for basic site features, like remembering if you said yes to cookies or picked a language. Without them, Soft Smida might not work like it should.
- Analytics cookies: Used by services like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics, these track general details about how visitors use Soft Smida. All data gets grouped together, helping us spot patterns and improve what we offer.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to show ads and may track what you like to display the most relevant ones. They look at things like your interests or browsing style.
By visiting Soft Smida, you're agreeing to our use of cookies as described here. You can handle cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, or alert you before one is added. Keep in mind, blocking cookies might change how Soft Smida or other sites work for you.
