General Introduction
Hazel Flint is a straightforward recipe resource, designed for easygoing cooking fans. We don’t require accounts, and we aren’t interested in your personal details—we never collect, sell, or share any info that identifies you.
Still, some data might be gathered automatically by third-party partners we use. This could be for analytics, displaying ads, or showing embedded videos. This privacy policy is here to explain in simple terms what gets collected and how Hazel Flint works to keep your information and browsing safe.
Third-party services used
To keep Hazel Flint running smoothly and recipes free, we team up with several trusted third parties. These services help us analyze site visitors, fund our content through ads, and embed video tutorials for you. Here’s who we work with most often:
- Google Analytics: A Google tool that tracks website trends. It gathers anonymous visitor data (such as time on site or popular pages). That way, we can figure out what recipes folks like best and see where to make improvements. Google Analytics relies on cookies, but Hazel Flint never handles details that would personally identify you.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Brought to us by Cloudflare, this tool monitors traffic and checks Hazel Flint's performance. It keeps things running fast and catches technical hiccups. The info Cloudflare collects—like your IP or general browsing—gets bundled together and not used to pick you out individually. No cookies that single you out are involved.
- Google AdSense: Hazel Flint displays advertising through Google’s AdSense platform. This lets us offset costs while keeping access free for everyone. AdSense cookies serve up personalized ads based on general activity. We can’t see or handle any of the data AdSense uses for tailoring those ads. If you want more details, check out Google's privacy policy.
- YouTube: Some Hazel Flint recipes include videos played right here on the site, streamed from YouTube (part of Google). Watching one might set cookies from YouTube/Google to log stats (like total views or play duration). If you’re signed into Google, viewing habits might be linked to your account, but that’s outside Hazel Flint’s reach. Read more in YouTube or Google’s privacy info.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files saved on your device when you visit Hazel Flint. We—and our third-party partners—use them to create a better browsing experience for you:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to recognize what you’re interested in and display ads that might suit you better.
- Analytics cookies: These are from services like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics. They help us see big-picture site use, spotting trends and finding ways to improve Hazel Flint. The info is combined and never linked back to a single person.
- Functional cookies: These basic cookies keep things ticking, like remembering your cookie setting or language choice. Without them, certain features might not work as you expect.
By using Hazel Flint, you agree to our use of cookies as described. It’s always possible to manage or erase cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers can block, remove, or alert you about them before they’re stored. Turning off cookies could affect your experience with Hazel Flint or other sites.

From time to time, this privacy policy might get updated. We’ll update it to reflect new tools, changing processes, or new legal requirements. If anything major changes, Hazel Flint will post a clear notice right on our site—either on the homepage or through a separate message.
