General Introduction
Munch Hug is your go-to destination for hassle-free cooking inspiration. We've designed our platform with a no-fuss approach - there's no need to create an account, and we won't gather your personal details. You can rest easy knowing we never trade or distribute any personal information.
We'd like to give you the full scoop on how certain data gets automatically collected through our third-party partnerships. These help enhance your browsing experience with features like visitor analytics, relevant ads, and video content. Here's a straightforward look at how we safeguard your privacy while you explore Munch Hug.
Third-party services used
To keep Munch Hug running smoothly and provide you with free recipes, we partner with several service providers. These partnerships help us track site performance, support our content through ads, and deliver engaging video materials. Here's a breakdown of our key partners:
- Google Analytics: This tracking tool gathers anonymous usage data like page visits and session duration. It helps us identify trending recipes and make site improvements. While Google Analytics uses cookies, Munch Hug never collects personally identifiable information.
- Google AdSense: We use this ad platform to keep our content free. It may use cookies to show you relevant advertising based on your interests. Munch Hug can't access the personal data Google uses for ad targeting. Check Google's privacy policy for more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This cookie-free monitoring system helps us track site performance and visitor flow. It collects basic data like IP addresses and browsing patterns to maintain site speed and security, but it's all aggregated - never individual.
- YouTube: Our embedded recipe videos come from YouTube. When you watch these on Munch Hug, YouTube might set cookies to track playback and gather viewing stats. If you're signed into Google, YouTube could link viewing history to your account, but we don't see this data. YouTube's privacy policy has the full details.

- Analytics cookies: Our analytics partners use these to gather site usage info. This helps us understand how visitors use Munch Hug so we can make it better.
- Advertising cookies: These help AdSense show you ads that match your interests based on your browsing patterns.
Using Munch Hug means you're okay with these cookie practices. You've got control, though - your browser settings let you manage or remove cookies anytime.
