General Introduction
Spoon Tally is a friendly recipe destination designed with simplicity in mind. You don't need an account to browse, and we never ask for personal info. That means we won't sell or share your details with anyone.
Still, there are a few third-party tools we use to boost your experience—things like analytics, advertising, and video embeds. This privacy policy lays out exactly how data might be collected automatically, and explains how Spoon Tally keeps your privacy protected every time you visit.
Third-party services used
To keep Spoon Tally running smoothly and our recipes free, we use some third-party partners. They help us with things like video content, site analytics, and showing ads that fund our work. Here are the key third-party tools you'll find on Spoon Tally:
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll spot recipe videos from YouTube right on Spoon Tally. Watching these videos places YouTube or Google cookies to measure things like views and playback. If you're signed into Google, YouTube may link your activity to your account. We never see this info. For details, check out YouTube and Google’s privacy notices.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This Cloudflare service tracks site performance and visitor stats, with all data aggregated and not used to personally identify you. It doesn’t use cookies for tracking, but it does process things like IP addresses to keep Spoon Tally fast and reliable.
- Google AdSense: You’ll see ads on Spoon Tally thanks to Google’s ad network. AdSense may tailor ads to your browsing, using cookies to help pick what you see. Spoon Tally itself can't see or use the personal data involved with these ads. Curious about how it works? Take a look at Google’s privacy statement.
- Google Analytics: Spoon Tally relies on Google’s audience tracking to see how people use our site. It gathers visit counts, time-on-page, and more—no personal identification involved. Google Analytics tracks this via cookies and helps us make Spoon Tally better based on what content folks love.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are text files dropped onto your device when you visit. Spoon Tally and our third-party services use them to give you a better experience here:
- Advertising cookies: Powering ads on Spoon Tally, Google AdSense uses these to learn about your interests and help show you ads that fit what you like.
- Analytics cookies: Both Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these (where relevant) to track how visitors explore Spoon Tally. This data stays aggregated and isn't tied to individuals. It helps us see what works, what needs tweaking, and what recipes are popular.
- Functional cookies: These let the site remember things like your language choice or consent preferences. Without these, certain tools may not work as you expect.
When you use Spoon Tally, you’re agreeing to our cookie use just as described. You can always review, block, or remove cookies through the settings in your browser. Most browsers give you the tools to decline or erase cookies, or ask before saving them. Keep in mind: turning cookies off can impact how smooth your browsing is—here and elsewhere.

This privacy notice might change from time to time. Spoon Tally will update it as our site grows, if we add fresh services, or whenever laws or rules shift. If there’s a big update, we’ll post a clear message on our main page or put up a special alert so you know what’s changed.
