General Introduction
Grill And Bites is a food-focused platform that embraces simplicity and shared cooking experiences. We operate without user profiles and never directly gather your personal details. As a result, we don't trade or distribute any personal information about our visitors.
However, we'd like to clarify how certain data might be automatically collected through third-party tools we utilize to enhance your browsing (such as site analytics, customized ads and video content). This privacy statement seeks to provide clear, transparent information about these practices and how we safeguard your information and privacy when you visit Grill And Bites.
Third-party services used
To ensure Grill And Bites runs smoothly and to keep providing free recipes, we employ several third-party services. These tools help us analyze site usage, support our content through advertisements, and enhance our pages with video materials. Here's a breakdown of the key third-party services we utilize:
- Google Analytics: This Google-provided traffic analysis tool collects anonymous data about website usage (such as page views, duration of visits). These insights help us identify which dishes are most appealing and how we can improve our platform. Google Analytics may deploy cookies to monitor this information, but Grill And Bites doesn't collect any personally identifiable data.
- Google AdSense: This advertising system from Google enables ad placement throughout our website. These advertisements help fund our operation while keeping content free for you. AdSense might use cookies to display relevant promotions based on your browsing habits. Grill And Bites cannot access the personal information Google uses for ad customization. You can review Google's privacy policy for additional details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This traffic monitoring service from Cloudflare lets us track site performance without using identifying cookies. This assists us in spotting potential technical problems and maintaining a fast, secure website. The information Cloudflare collects (including IP addresses and navigation data) is consolidated and never used to identify individual visitors.
- YouTube: We occasionally incorporate cooking videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned platform). When viewing YouTube content on Grill And Bites, YouTube/Google cookies may be installed to track playback and gather statistics (like view counts). If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing activity to your profile, though we have no access to this data. For further information, consider reviewing YouTube/Google's privacy documentation.
