General Introduction
Welcome to cookible, where we make sharing and finding simple recipes a breeze. You won’t need to sign up––we skip user accounts and don’t collect personal info directly. That means your personal data isn’t sold or given away, period.
Still, certain data may be picked up automatically by third-party tools we use to make cookible better for you––things like website analytics, tailored ads, or embedded videos. This policy explains clearly and honestly which data might be gathered this way, how it happens, and the steps cookible takes to prioritize your privacy whenever you browse our site.
Third-party services used
To make sure cookible runs smoothly and stays free for everyone, we team up with some outside services. These partners help us learn which pages you like, keep cookible going with ads, and let us add fun extras like video tutorials. Here’s a quick look at the main third parties we work with:
- YouTube: You’ll sometimes see videos embedded straight from YouTube (by Google) on cookible. If you play a YouTube video here, cookies from YouTube/Google could track your viewing and gather video stats, like how many people watched. If you’re signed in to Google, YouTube might link views to your profile––but cookible never sees or accesses this data. You can check out YouTube/Google’s privacy policy for more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service powered by Cloudflare helps us track how cookible performs and study general website traffic. Cloudflare Analytics doesn’t use identifying cookies––instead, it gathers info like IP addresses and browsing data but only in large groups, never tying anything back to you personally. Thanks to Cloudflare, we spot technical glitches fast and make sure cookible stays safe and speedy.
- Google AdSense: AdSense, Google’s ad service, lets us show ads that keep cookible free. It uses cookies to make the ads more relevant to your browsing. cookible can’t see or collect any personal data Google might use to customize ad content. You can visit Google’s privacy policy to see how your info is handled by them.
- Google Analytics: This tool from Google collects anonymous stats about how people use cookible––for example, which recipes get lots of clicks or how long folks stay on a page. Its tracking uses cookies, but cookible doesn’t collect or store identifying info. These insights help us shape our content to suit your tastes and needs.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files that websites (like cookible and its partners) store on your device when you visit. Here’s how we and our third-party collaborators use cookies to shape your cookible experience:
- Advertising cookies: These let Google AdSense show ads tailored to what you like or what you’ve browsed. They help offer more relevant suggestions.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to collect and group data about how people use cookible. That way, we can see patterns, learn how visitors move around cookible, and figure out what content is working well.
- Functional cookies: Without these, certain features just won’t work––they’re essential. For example, functional cookies remember what language you chose or save your consent settings to keep cookible running smoothly.
By hanging out on cookible, you agree to our cookie practices as explained. If you prefer, you can manage or erase cookies anytime from your browser’s settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, clear them, or get a heads-up before they appear. Just be aware that turning off cookies might impact how cookible (and other sites) work for you.
