Information we collect
Cloudflare Web Analytics
Home Automation Cookbook uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its content, navigation, accessibility, and performance. This may include aggregated measures such as pages viewed, referrers, and basic browser or device information.
Cloudflare Web Analytics is used for site optimization and troubleshooting only. Home Automation Cookbook does not run ad networks, and we never collect kids’ data. Cloudflare’s free Web Analytics beacon is designed to work without client-side cookies for analytics.
Cloudflare processes this data under its own privacy terms. Read the Cloudflare Privacy Policy for more information about collection, use, protection, and retention.
You can use browser or network tools to block the analytics beacon. Blocking analytics does not prevent you from reading the site.
