General Introduction
Orchard Flint is your destination for easy and community-driven recipe inspiration. We don't have user registrations and never directly collect your personal data. As a result, we don't sell or hand out any of your information.
However, it's important to let you know how some details might automatically be gathered through third-party tools that help shape your experience (things like site stats, relevant advertising, and embedded videos). Here's our privacy policy—it’s designed to clearly explain what we do, what’s collected, and how Orchard Flint looks after your privacy every time you visit orchardflint.com.
Third-party services used
Orchard Flint works with several external partners to keep orchardflint.com running smoothly and to provide you with free and engaging content. These services help us better understand site usage, support our work through ads, and embed video content into our pages. Below are some of the key third-party providers we rely on:
- YouTube: From time to time, you’ll see videos—hosted on YouTube—embedded in our recipes. When you watch these on Orchard Flint, YouTube (owned by Google) can set cookies to track views and gather stats. If you’re logged into your Google account, YouTube may link views to your profile. However, Orchard Flint can't see any of that info. Visit Google’s privacy policy for further details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us spot technical issues and track overall performance—no personal identifiers needed. Your IP and browsing data is captured in aggregate, never as an individual, and cookies that could identify you aren’t used here.
- Google AdSense: Ads on Orchard Flint are delivered using Google’s AdSense platform. Those ads keep our content free for you. AdSense might use cookies to customize what ads you see, based on how you browse. Orchard Flint does not have access to any personally identifying data involved in this process. You can find more details in Google’s own privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: To keep improving orchardflint.com, we use Google Analytics, which shows us things like popular recipes and visitor activity. Data collected is anonymous (like page views and duration). While Google uses cookies to track this, Orchard Flint does not receive any identifying information.
