General Introduction
Griddle Pocket is a recipe website that keeps things straightforward and friendly. We never ask you to make an account and we don't collect your personal info directly. That means we don't share or sell your details.
Still, some info might get gathered automatically through third-party tools we use to make Griddle Pocket better, like traffic insights, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy policy walks you through what’s collected automatically, how it’s used, and what Griddle Pocket does to protect your privacy while you’re here.
Third-party services used
To keep Griddle Pocket running smoothly and offer recipes for free, we rely on a few outside services. They help us spot what’s working across the site, keep the lights on by supporting ads, and let us add videos. Here are the main ones we use:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service from Cloudflare shows us how well Griddle Pocket is performing and highlights technical hiccups, all without cookies that could ID you. Data like your IP and browsing patterns are combined and never used to single you out.
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll come across videos on Griddle Pocket that are hosted on YouTube, which is part of Google. Watching them might let YouTube/Google set cookies for tracking views and stats. If you’re logged into your Google account, they could link that viewing to your profile, but Griddle Pocket never sees this info. More can be found in YouTube/Google’s privacy policies.
- Google Analytics: Google’s audience measurement tool collects general traffic data—like what you look at or how long you stay. It helps us discover what recipes are hits and how to make things even better. Google Analytics may use cookies, but Griddle Pocket doesn’t access anything that reveals who you are.
- Google AdSense: Ads on our pages are provided by Google’s ad platform. This helps fund Griddle Pocket and lets us keep recipes free. Google AdSense can store cookies to recommend ads that match your interests. Griddle Pocket doesn't see or handle any personal advertising data. For more details, check Google’s privacy information.
