General Introduction
Pulse Baker is your go-to for easy-to-follow recipes, where friendly vibes and simplicity are key. We don’t use user profiles and don't directly request your personal info. That means we never sell or share your info with anyone.
However, we’d like to share how certain info might get picked up automatically by third-party tools that help make Pulse Baker better for you—think site stats, targeted ads, or videos. This privacy policy explains clearly what data gets tracked by these tools and how Pulse Baker keeps your privacy safe while you browse our site.
Third-party services used
To provide free recipes and keep Pulse Baker running smoothly, we rely on several outside partners. These help us track site engagement, support our work through ads, and bring you video content. Our main partners include:
- YouTube: Pulse Baker occasionally embeds YouTube recipe videos. Watching these may place YouTube/Google cookies for things like tracking video views. If you’re signed in to your Google account, YouTube can link that viewing activity to your profile—but we don’t access any of that. More details are in Google’s privacy docs.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare lets us gauge our website’s speed and reliability. It collects info such as IP addresses or browser data, but everything’s anonymized and is never used to single you out. Plus, Cloudflare doesn’t use intrusive cookies to identify you.
- Google AdSense: Pulse Baker shows ads via Google’s ad service. These sponsored spots help us keep recipes free. AdSense uses cookies for serving ads based on your browsing, but we never see or collect the data Google uses for ad targeting. Want more info? Visit Google’s privacy resources.
- Google Analytics: Site analytics from Google help us understand which recipes are loved most and guide our improvements. Data like visited pages or time on site is tracked, fully anonymous. Cookies help keep tabs on this, but Pulse Baker never receives info that could identify you.

- Advertising cookies: These cookies come from Google AdSense, helping us display ads matching your tastes and habits. Ads keep content at Pulse Baker free for everyone.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these cookies to collect traffic data. The info’s anonymous and helps us see how folks explore Pulse Baker, so we can improve the site and the recipes.
- Functional cookies: These are crucial for Pulse Baker to run well, like remembering your language or saving your consent choices. Without them, some things may not work as expected.
By browsing Pulse Baker, you’re agreeing to the above cookie use. If you want, you can control or erase cookies using your browser settings—most let you block, delete, or warn you about cookies ahead of time.
