Welcome to Crisp & Clove (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We operate https://crispandclove.com
as a food, recipe, and culinary article platform. This Privacy Policy details our practices regarding the collection, storage, and use of information, particularly regarding email correspondence and third-party advertising partners.
1. Information We Collect
We keep our data footprint small, collecting information only where necessary to interact with readers and keep the site running:
- Email Addresses & Feedback: We collect your email address when you write directly to feedback@crispandclove.com with recipe questions, suggestions, or general feedback. We use this information solely to communicate with you and address your notes.
- Log Files & Automated Device Data: When you visit the site, our web servers automatically log non-personally identifiable technical information. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, access timestamps, and recipe pages viewed.
- Cookies and Web Beacons: We, along with our third-party advertising partners, use browser cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to facilitate site functionality, analyze general reader traffic, and serve advertisements.
2. Third-Party Advertising and Cookies
To support the creation of free recipes and articles, Crisp & Clove is monetized through third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, Raptive, or similar programmatic ad partners).
- How Ad Partners Use Data: Third-party vendors and ad networks use cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to Crisp & Clove or other websites on the internet. These technologies help deliver advertisements relevant to your culinary and browsing interests.
- Non-Personal Data Collection: These ad networks may collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits (such as your general location via IP address, device type, and interactions with displayed ads) to track ad performance and detect fraud.
- Opting Out of Personalized Advertising:
- You can manage or disable personalized Google Ads by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating ad networks via the Digital Advertising Alliance or the Network Advertising Initiative.
- You can instruct your browser to decline cookies, though some site elements or display preferences may not load as intended.
3. How We Use Collected Data
The information we collect is used to:
- Respond to questions, ingredient troubleshooting, and recipe inquiries sent to feedback@crispandclove.com.
- Display advertisements that allow us to provide free recipes and articles.
- Analyze aggregate recipe traffic to see which cooking guides and dishes readers enjoy most.
- Ensure platform stability, address technical errors, and guard against malicious traffic.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We respect your inbox and personal details:
- No Selling of Personal Contact Info: We never sell, rent, or trade your email address or personal messages to third-party data brokers or marketing lists.
- Advertising Partners: As described in Section 2, third-party ad networks automatically collect standard ad-serving and analytics data directly through cookies when you load our pages.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by applicable law, court order, or governmental authority.
5. Recipe and Allergen Notice
All recipes, cook times, and nutritional tips are provided for general culinary interest. Readers are solely responsible for inspecting ingredients, verifying food allergen risks, cross-contamination, and observing food safety handling standards in their own kitchens.
6. Children’s Privacy
Crisp & Clove does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age, nor do we intentionally serve targeted advertising directed at children under 13. If you believe your child has sent personal information to our email address, please reach out so we can delete it immediately.
