General Introduction
Cozy Louz is your go-to spot for recipes, all about keeping things easy and welcoming. There's no need to sign up for an account, and Cozy Louz never asks for or gathers your personal info directly. That means we don't share or sell anything about you.
Still, there are a few ways your data might get collected automatically by services that Cozy Louz uses to give you a better experience—like for traffic stats, personalized ads, or video playback. This privacy policy breaks down what data gets gathered, why, and how Cozy Louz makes sure your privacy is safe while you browse the site.
Third-party services used
To keep Cozy Louz running smoothly and keep great free recipes coming your way, we sometimes rely on outside services. These make it easier to learn how you use Cozy Louz, support the site through advertising, and show videos on our pages. Here are the main outside platforms Cozy Louz works with:
- Google Analytics: This is Google's popular audience insight tool, tracking things like what pages you check out or how long you hang around. The info lets us find out which dishes you enjoy and what could use improvement. Google Analytics gets this data using cookies, but Cozy Louz never gathers anything that personally identifies you.
- Google AdSense: With AdSense, Cozy Louz can show ads that help support the site and keep recipes free. These ads might use cookies to suggest content that matches your interests. While AdSense handles ad personalization, Cozy Louz doesn't see the private info behind those ads. For more info, you can look up Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare offers website traffic analysis for Cozy Louz and helps us stay on top of site speed and performance. It gathers some data—like IP addresses and how you use the site—but everything's bundled together big-picture style, and nothing personally points to you. Plus, cookies that identify you aren't in the mix.
- YouTube: Sometimes, you'll spot cooking videos right on Cozy Louz, which are played through YouTube (owned by Google). When you watch a video, YouTube/Google may set cookies to track what you've seen and collect metrics, like view counts. If you're signed into your Google account, your activity could be linked to your profile, but Cozy Louz never gets access to that data. Want more details? Check Google or YouTube’s privacy policy.

- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to pull in details about how folks use Cozy Louz. Everything gets compiled together so we can see trends and keep improving the site.
- Advertising cookies: These are used by Google AdSense for showing you sponsored content. They may keep track of your interests to tailor the ads you see.
