General Introduction
Pumpkin Vale is a recipe platform that keeps things simple and friendly. There aren't any user accounts and we really don't gather your personal data. That means nothing about you gets sold or shared here.
Still, some information might get picked up automatically through outside services we use to enhance your time on Pumpkin Vale. This happens for stuff like stats, personalized ads, or videos. This privacy policy walks you through those details and explains how Pumpkin Vale's protecting your info when you visit pumpkinvale.com.
Third-party services used
Pumpkin Vale relies on various third-party platforms to keep everything running smoothly and keep recipes free for you. These tools let us track how pumpkinvale.com is used, support our site with ads, and offer engaging video content. Here are the main partners we work with:
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll find recipe videos hosted on YouTube embedded on Pumpkin Vale.

Cloudflare collects things like IP addresses and how you use pumpkinvale.com, but it's grouped together and can't identify you personally. This also lets us troubleshoot and keep Pumpkin Vale fast and safe.
- Google AdSense: With AdSense, Pumpkin Vale displays ads to help keep recipes free. AdSense picks ads using cookies to show you things that match your interests and how you browse pumpkinvale.com.
