General Introduction
Wheat Sprig keeps things easy and friendly. We don't have user accounts and won't ask for your personal details. That means your confidential info isn't sold or distributed by us—ever.
Still, we think it's important you know that some information might be gathered automatically by services we use to enhance your visit—like traffic stats, tailored ads, or embedded videos. This privacy policy is here to explain those data collection practices in plain language and show you how Wheat Sprig safeguards your privacy while you explore our site.
Third-party services used
Wheat Sprig relies on trusted third-party solutions to keep our platform running smoothly and to keep all our tasty recipes free. They help us understand how folks use the site, ensure ongoing funding with ad revenue, and let us feature fun recipe videos. Here’s a run-down of the key partners we work with:
- Google Analytics: This Google tool gives us an overview of overall site visits (like popular pages and average browsing times). It helps us spot what recipes everyone loves and which parts of Wheat Sprig need some attention. While Google Analytics may use cookies to collect these stats, nothing lets us personally identify you.
- Google AdSense: AdSense delivers customized ads throughout Wheat Sprig. These ads support our site so we can keep content free for everyone. AdSense cookies help show you ads based on your browsing but Wheat Sprig never views the private information Google uses for this ad targeting. Want the fine print? Check out Google’s privacy details for more info.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Powered by Cloudflare, this service helps us stay on top of site performance and traffic trends. The cookies used never identify you specifically. It’s all to catch bugs early and keep Wheat Sprig speedy and secure. Collected data (like your IP or some browsing details) comes to us grouped—not individually traced.
- YouTube: Occasionally, recipe videos on Wheat Sprig are embedded from YouTube (owned by Google). Watching a video might put some cookies on your device to tally stats or playback actions. If you’re signed into Google, YouTube may associate your views with your Google account—but Wheat Sprig never accesses your private info. Want details? You can always check YouTube and Google’s own privacy statements.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files that websites store on your device. Wheat Sprig and our service providers use them for a few reasons:
- Functional cookies: These help Wheat Sprig work the way it's supposed to. For example, they let the site recall your language or the consent options you've chosen. If these cookies are turned off, some features might not be available.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to gather data about traffic and site interactions. Info collected is always combined, not tied to you, and helps Wheat Sprig improve how everything works and what content people want most.
- Advertising cookies: Needed for Google AdSense to show you ads. These might track what interests you or your browsing activity, so ads are a better fit for you.
When you browse Wheat Sprig, you're letting us use cookies as described above. If you want, you can adjust or remove cookies in your browser settings any time. Most browsers let you block, clear, or get a warning before cookies are set. Just know—switching off cookies could change how Wheat Sprig and other websites work for you.
Changes to this policy
We might update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes may reflect new laws, shift with our business practices, or relate to new services. If we make big changes, Wheat Sprig will note it visibly on our homepage or through a site alert.
The revision date at the top lets you know when we last updated. We recommend you drop by this page often so you're always up-to-date on our privacy stance.
