General Introduction
Meanwhilerecipe is your go-to spot for easy recipes, created to be straightforward and welcoming. You won't need any accounts here, and we never directly ask for your personal info. That means we never sell or share anything that might identify you.
Still, we think it's important to let you know what kinds of data might get picked up automatically by third parties we use to boost your experience (like site stats, relevant ads, or embedded videos). This privacy page is here to lay out what happens, showing you how your privacy and data are protected while you’re browsing Meanwhilerecipe.
Third-party services used
To keep Meanwhilerecipe running smoothly and continue giving you free access to recipes, we rely on external services. These partners let us track site performance, fund our recipes through advertisements, and add video content. Check out the main services we use:
- YouTube: Sometimes, we feature recipe videos from YouTube, which is part of Google. Whenever you watch a YouTube video on Meanwhilerecipe, YouTube or Google cookies might be used to note video plays and gather stats (like view counts). If you've signed in on your Google account, your viewing could be linked to your account. Meanwhilerecipe can't see any of this info. Head to YouTube or Google’s privacy policies if you’re curious about their data usage.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This tool helps us scale site speed and monitor traffic, without setting cookies that tag you personally. Data from Cloudflare (like browsing stats or your IP) is grouped together and isn’t connected to you as an individual. We use it to catch technical issues and keep the site secure.
- Google AdSense: AdSense lets us show you advertisements that help us keep recipes free. Ads may be personalized based on how you browse. AdSense cookies personalize those ads, but Meanwhilerecipe never sees the private data Google holds about you. Feel free to look up Google’s privacy policy for details on how they handle your info.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics collects anonymous data like which pages get the most visits or how long you spend on the site. This helps us figure out what’s most popular and improve your experience. We don’t access anything that identifies you directly. The data is tracked through cookies, but it’s anonymous from Meanwhilerecipe’s side.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are little text files your device stores when you visit Meanwhilerecipe. We and the third-party providers use cookies to make browsing better for you:
- Advertising cookies: Used through Google AdSense, these cookies save your browsing patterns and interests so ads can be more matched to you.
- Analytics cookies: Cloudflare and Google Analytics use these to gather details on how folks use the site. Stats are reported together, not individually, helping us tweak Meanwhilerecipe and its content.
- Functional cookies: These cookies are necessary for the site's basic functions, like saving your language settings or remembering if you've accepted our policies. Without these, some parts might not work right.
When you browse Meanwhilerecipe, you’re agreeing to the cookie use described above. You can clear or control cookies in your browser settings any time. Most browsers let you block, remove, or get notifications before a cookie is saved. Just keep in mind, shutting off cookies can impact how Meanwhilerecipe and other places work for you.
