General Introduction
Brilliant Crust brings you easy and enjoyable recipes, all without any signups or account hassle. We don't directly gather your personal info, which means there's nothing we can sell or share about you.
Still, some info might be collected automatically through trusted third-party tools aimed at enhancing your experience (like analytics, personalized ads, and video players). This privacy policy is here to clearly let you know how this works and how Brilliant Crust looks after your privacy whenever you're browsing with us.
Third-party services used
To keep Brilliant Crust running smoothly (and free), we rely on select external services. These partners help us see how people use our website, support our site with ads, and deliver video content. Here's an overview of the main third-party partners we use:
- YouTube: Some of the recipe videos on Brilliant Crust come straight from YouTube. When you play a YouTube video here, YouTube/Google cookies might track your viewing or gather stats (like view counts). If you’re signed into your Google profile, YouTube could connect your viewing history to you, but we never see this info. If you're curious, details are in YouTube/Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us monitor website performance and traffic, all without dropping cookies that would personally identify you. Info such as your IP address and other browsing data is collected in a way that can't single you out. This helps us troubleshoot issues and keep Brilliant Crust fast and secure.
- Google AdSense: Ads you see on Brilliant Crust are managed by Google AdSense. They use cookies to show you ads that match your interests. The revenue helps us keep the site growing while letting you access recipes for free. We don’t see any personal details that Google may use to customize your ads. Check Google’s own privacy policy for their practices.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics gives us insights, like which recipes get the most traffic and how long people stay on a page. This data is always anonymous and helps us spot ways to upgrade Brilliant Crust. Cookies may be used here, but we don't gather anything that could personally identify you.
Cookies and consent
When you visit Brilliant Crust, small files called cookies might be saved on your device. We and our third-party partners use these to make your experience even better:
- Advertising Cookies: These are for Google AdSense to show you ads you'll probably find interesting based on your browsing. Some of your preferences or behavior might be remembered for a more tailored ad feed.
- Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics both use analytics cookies to gather site usage info. What they collect is always grouped to help us figure out how readers move through Brilliant Crust, which we use to improve everything you see here.
- Functional Cookies: These are essential! They help the site remember your language or consent preferences. Brilliant Crust just wouldn't work right without them.
By continuing to use Brilliant Crust, you're agreeing to this use of cookies. But you're in control—you can change, remove, or block cookies from your browser at any time. Each browser handles it a bit differently, but you can usually block, erase, or be notified about cookies before they're set. Just a heads up: turning cookies off might affect your experience not just on Brilliant Crust, but on other websites, too.

Our privacy practices stay up to date as Brilliant Crust evolves. If we tweak how we protect your info, add new services, or need to match new laws, we'll update this policy. For any major changes, we’ll make it clear on our site—either with a homepage alert or a special notification.
