General Introduction
Fordishes is all about easy, friendly recipe sharing. You won't find user accounts here, and we never directly gather personal details about you. We also promise not to sell or share anything personal.
Still, it's important you know that some info may be automatically gathered by outside tools we use—like tracking site traffic, personalized ads, and embedded videos. This privacy notice breaks down what data gets collected, who collects it, and how Fordishes works hard to safeguard your privacy whenever you visit us.
Third-party services used
To make Fordishes run smoothly and keep recipes free for everybody, we rely on a few outside services. These help us see how folks use the site, support our content through ads, and add videos to our pages. Here's a look at the key third-party services Fordishes uses:
- YouTube: Recipe clips on Fordishes are hosted on YouTube. When you play a video here, YouTube (run by Google) may set cookies to track views and gather stats. If you're signed in to Google, YouTube might link your views to your account, but Fordishes never sees this data. You can learn more in YouTube/Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare let us monitor traffic and the health of Fordishes without cookies that could pinpoint any user. This info helps us spot tech hiccups and keep things speedy and secure. Data like IP and browsing patterns get mixed together, so we can't spot individuals.
- Google AdSense: Ads are managed through AdSense. Showing ads helps us pay the bills and keeps the site free. Google may use cookies to match you with ads you care about, but Fordishes doesn’t access any personal ad data. Find more details in Google's privacy information.
- Google Analytics: Fordishes taps into Google Analytics to study how people move through our site (like which pages get visited and how long folks stick around). The tool uses cookies but Fordishes never gathers anything that could personally identify you.
Cookies and consent
When you browse Fordishes, tiny files called cookies get saved to your device. Fordishes and partners use these to make your visit smoother:
- Advertising cookies: AdSense relies on these to serve you ads tailored to your interests or activity.
- Analytics cookies: Cookies from Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics capture how users explore Fordishes. We use this grouped data to make the site and recipes better.
- Functional cookies: These make Fordishes work right—like remembering what language you picked or your consent choices. Without them, some features might not operate like they should.
By using Fordishes, you accept how cookies work as described here. You can change or remove cookies any time using your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or clear cookies or get a warning before they're set. Just know, turning off cookies could impact how Fordishes and other sites run for you.
