General Introduction
Shift Pan is all about making cooking simple and inviting. We don’t require user accounts and we never collect your personal details directly. That means your information won’t ever be sold or passed on.
Still, we think it’s important to let you know that certain third-party services might automatically gather some data to help enhance your visit (such as anonymous site stats, personalized ads, or video embeds). This privacy policy breaks down how these tools work and how Shift Pan keeps your information and privacy secure while you browse.
Third-party services used
To keep Shift Pan running smoothly and recipes free for everyone, we rely on a handful of third-party services. They let us learn how you’re using the website, keep the site funded with ads, and improve pages with video features. Here’s a list of the main services we depend on:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Shift Pan uses this to monitor website health and traffic without cookies that reveal your identity. It collects group data, like your IP address and where you browse, but never tracks you as an individual. This helps us spot technical issues and stay speedy and safe.
- YouTube: Occasionally, you'll find recipe videos from YouTube on Shift Pan. Whenever you watch one, YouTube (run by Google) may store cookies to count views or log playback stats. If you're logged into a Google account, your viewing could get linked with your profile—but Shift Pan never accesses this info. For more on their privacy rules, be sure to check out YouTube or Google’s own privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: This Google service is our go-to for understanding site audience trends. It gathers anonymous details, like which pages attract attention or how long someone stays. Google Analytics may use cookies, but Shift Pan doesn’t gather or view anything that could identify you directly.
- Google AdSense: Through this Google ad tool, Shift Pan can show you ads—helping us offer free recipes. AdSense uses cookies for relevant ad matching based on what you browse, but Shift Pan never sees your personal ad data. Want to know more? Just visit Google’s privacy terms.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files placed on your device as you explore websites. Shift Pan and partners use these mainly to make your journey easier and better:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to show you tailored ads. They track interests or browsing so you get ad suggestions that fit you.
- Analytics cookies: These help us see how people use Shift Pan—thanks to Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics. The details are combined together (not singled out) so we can improve our recipes and fine-tune performance.
- Functional cookies: Necessary for things like remembering your settings or consent. Without them, certain features might act up or become unavailable.
By using Shift Pan, you’re agreeing to these cookies as described. At any time, you can clear or control cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, warn you first, or delete what’s stored. Keep in mind—turning them off could impact how Shift Pan and other sites work for you.
Changes to this policy
We might update this privacy policy every so often. Changes could happen if we adjust our tools, add new features, or need to meet fresh legal requirements. If something major shifts, we’ll make it clear on Shift Pan, maybe with a homepage alert or special notice.
You’ll find the last revised date for this policy at the top of the page. We recommend dropping by here now and then to stay current on how Shift Pan protects your privacy.
