General Introduction
Delish Docket is a recipe website focusing on friendliness and simplicity. We don’t have user accounts and don’t directly gather your personal data. Because of this, we neither sell nor share any of your personal information.
That said, we’d like to explain how certain data might be automatically captured via third-party services we use to improve your experience (such as traffic stats, personalized ads, and embedded videos). This privacy policy aims to provide a clear and transparent explanation of these practices and how we protect your privacy while browsing Delish Docket.
Third-Party Services Utilized
To ensure Delish Docket operates smoothly and to keep providing free recipes, we utilize services from external providers. These services help us better understand how you interact with the site, fund our content through ads, and enrich pages with video material. Below are the main third-party services we employ:
- Google Analytics: A Google-provided audience tracking tool. It anonymously collects data like pages visited and time spent to help us identify popular recipes and enhance the site. Google Analytics may use cookies for data tracking, but Delish Docket doesn’t collect any personally identifiable details from you.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform displays advertisements to fund our site while letting us offer free content. AdSense may use cookies to deliver ads based on your browsing habits. Delish Docket doesn’t access any personal data used by Google for ad personalization. For more details, see Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: A traffic analysis service by Cloudflare. It helps track site performance and traffic without using cookies to identify you. We use Cloudflare for detecting potential issues and ensuring our site remains fast and secure. Data collected by Cloudflare (like your IP and navigation info) is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed recipes as videos hosted on YouTube (a Google service). Watching a YouTube video on Delish Docket might result in cookies being placed by YouTube/Google to track video playback and gather stats like view counts. If logged into your Google account, YouTube may link this activity to your profile, though we don’t access any of that data. See the YouTube/Google privacy policy for specifics.
