Third-Party Tools We Use
To keep Cook With Carla running smoothly and recipes accessible for free, we rely on external tools. These services assist us in tracking performance, displaying ads for funding, and sharing engaging content like videos. Here’s a look at the key third-party tools we utilize:
- Google Analytics: This tool anonymously tracks how visitors interact with the site, like which pages they visit and how much time they spend on them. It uses cookies to gather this data, but Cook With Carla doesn’t access personal information. By understanding these insights, we can refine the site to better meet your needs.
