General Introduction
Moss Basil is all about easy, welcoming cooking inspiration—without any account signups or direct personal data collection. That means we never buy, sell, or share your info because we simply don't have it.
Still, some details might be gathered automatically by a few trusted partners—like for site analytics, showing relevant ads, or providing video content. This privacy policy is here to walk you through how and why that happens, along with how Moss Basil keeps your privacy in mind every step of the way.
Third-party services used
To keep Moss Basil running smoothly—and recipes free for you—we rely on a few outside platforms. These help us figure out what readers love, support us with advertising, and let us share videos right on our site. Here’s a quick rundown of those key partners:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service from Cloudflare keeps Moss Basil speedy and monitors our site's health. It doesn't use cookies to tie data back to you as an individual. Instead, it provides aggregated traffic stats, such as IP addresses and browsing data, so we can catch issues and make sure the site’s secure.
- YouTube: Some recipes come with YouTube recipe videos, which we embed right here. Watching those might place cookies from YouTube/Google on your device to count plays and gather general visibility stats. If you’re logged into your Google profile, YouTube could connect your viewing there—but Moss Basil never sees or accesses that info. Check out YouTube or Google privacy policies for more on that.
- Google AdSense: Ads help us keep content free. Google’s AdSense platform takes care of the advertising side, placing cookies to match ads to your interests. Moss Basil doesn’t access personal information that Google uses for this. Want more details? You can find them in Google’s privacy documents.
- Google Analytics: We use this Google service to better understand overall visitor trends on Moss Basil—like which recipes people love or how long they stay. Google Analytics might use cookies for this purpose, but everything stays anonymous. Moss Basil itself never receives any data that identifies you personally.

- Advertising cookies: Platforms like Google AdSense use these to show you more relevant ads, based on what you like to read or search for.
