General Introduction
freshplatejournal is all about sharing great recipes in a simple, friendly way. There aren't any user accounts, and freshplatejournal doesn't gather your personal details directly. That means we never sell or give away anything personal about you.
Still, certain info might get collected automatically by the outside services we use (like for tracking site visits, showing ads, or playing embedded videos). This privacy policy aims to clearly show you how these tools work and what freshplatejournal does to keep your info and browsing safe.
Third-party services used
To keep freshplatejournal running smoothly—and bring you delicious recipes for free—we team up with a few trusted third-party services. These help us see which pages you love, support our content through ads, and even let us share helpful recipe videos. Here are some key services you'll find on freshplatejournal:
- YouTube: Sometimes, we use YouTube videos right inside freshplatejournal articles. When you watch one, YouTube (owned by Google) might set cookies to track views and how videos are played. If you're logged into your Google account, YouTube may connect videos you watch with your profile. Still, none of that information reaches freshplatejournal. You can explore YouTube or Google's privacy policies to learn more.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this service helps us see how freshplatejournal performs and who visits. It doesn't use cookies that can identify you as an individual, but it does collect some info like IP addresses and general browsing patterns—always in a way that's grouped and anonymous. This helps us catch problems and keep things speedy and secure.
- Google AdSense: We show Google ads on freshplatejournal to help keep recipes free. Google AdSense may use cookies to deliver ads tailored to your interests. However, freshplatejournal never sees or handles the personal data used for ad targeting. Check Google's privacy info for more details.
- Google Analytics: This audience tool lets us see which recipes are popular, how long people spend on pages, and more. Google Analytics sets cookies to collect anonymous data, but we don't collect anything you could be personally recognized by.
Cookies and consent
