General Introduction
dishdelightblog is a food blog that focuses on easy, friendly cooking. We don’t use accounts, so we never ask for your personal details. That means we don't share or sell your data, ever.
Still, we’d like to be upfront about the info that might be gathered automatically by third-party tools. These services (like site statistics, personalized ads, or embedded videos) help us improve your experience. This privacy page is here to explain, simply and clearly, what happens with your data and how dishdelightblog works to safeguard your info every time you visit.
Which third-party tools do we use?
dishdelightblog relies on several third-party tools to deliver high-quality, free recipes and a smooth browsing experience. These services let us analyze site trends, host advertising to support our content, and add videos to enrich our pages. Below you’ll find the key third-party services we use:
- YouTube: Sometimes, you'll find recipe videos hosted on YouTube within dishdelightblog posts. If you play a video, YouTube/Google might set cookies to track how it's viewed and count plays. If you’re signed in to your Google account, your views may be connected with your profile. We don’t have access to any of this info. You can learn more from YouTube/Google’s official privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: With Cloudflare, we keep an eye on our site’s traffic and performance. Cloudflare doesn’t use cookies to identify you, but does aggregate some data, like device info or IP. This is used for technical insights only, not to identify individuals, and helps keep dishdelightblog fast and secure.
- Google AdSense: Google runs the ads you might notice across dishdelightblog. These ads help us keep offering everything for free. AdSense can use cookies to show you ads related to what you like or browse. However, dishdelightblog doesn’t have access to your personal ad data. Want to know more? Check Google’s privacy page.
- Google Analytics: This Google tool anonymously tracks general site usage — like how long folks browse, or which recipes are trending. It doesn’t collect info that identifies you personally, but does help us see what’s popular and where dishdelightblog can improve. Cookies may be involved for this traffic data.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files dropped on your device whenever you visit a site. Both dishdelightblog and our external partners use them to make your visit better:
- Functional cookies: These keep the core features of dishdelightblog running smoothly. For instance, they remember your language choices or cookie consent. Without them, certain parts of the site might not work as expected.
- Advertising cookies: These are used by Google AdSense to select which ads appear. They keep track of your interests or browsing patterns to show you ads that match your tastes.
- Analytics cookies: Both Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to gather info (like site views and navigation). This is grouped together, so we can study trends and adjust the site, but never to pinpoint individuals.
By browsing dishdelightblog, you're agreeing to our cookie practices. You’re free to change your preferences in your browser’s settings — you can block, erase or get notified about cookies from there. Just keep in mind, if you turn cookies off, some site features might not work perfectly on dishdelightblog or elsewhere.
How this policy may change
This privacy policy could change over time. From time to time, we’ll update it if our practices shift, if we introduce new tech, or to stay in line with legal requirements. For significant updates, we’ll clearly highlight this on dishdelightblog — maybe a notification on our homepage, or another visible spot.
You can always check the latest version and revision date at the top of this page. We recommend stopping by once in a while to review any updates to our data policy.
