General Introduction
platewellcrafted is a recipe hub that's all about keeping things simple and friendly. You won't be asked to create an account here, and we never gather your personal details directly. That means we never trade or share info about you.
Still, it's good to know that some third-party services we use might automatically collect certain data to make the site better for you—like measuring traffic, showing tailored ads, or embedding videos. This privacy policy breaks down how these services work and what platewellcrafted does to keep your privacy safe while you're browsing.
Third-party services used
To offer you top-notch free recipes and keep platewellcrafted running smoothly, we rely on some trusted external services. These partners help us track site use, support our content through advertising, and add rich video experiences. Here are the key third-party providers we work with:
- Google Analytics: This tool from Google gives us overall insights into our audience, like which pages get visited or how long folks stay. It uses cookies just for tracking, and all info is anonymized—we don't know who you are, and nothing personally identifying reaches platewellcrafted.
- Google AdSense: Google's ad platform lets us show advertisements on platewellcrafted. The ads help us keep our recipes free. AdSense can use cookies to suggest ads that fit your browsing habits, but any personal data stays strictly with Google. For details, check out Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this service monitors platewellcrafted's visitors and performance. No personally identifying cookies get used. The data mainly covers things like your IP and browsing info; it's all aggregated, so no one can single you out.
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll find video recipes from YouTube (owned by Google) on platewellcrafted. Watching one could set YouTube/Google cookies to keep tabs on stats like views or playback. If you're logged into Google, YouTube might link your viewing history, but platewellcrafted can't access any of this. See YouTube/Google's privacy terms for more info.
