General Introduction
Griddle Glory embraces a philosophy of culinary simplicity and community enjoyment. We operate without user accounts and never directly gather your personal details. As a result, we don't engage in selling or sharing any of your personal information with others.
We'd like to clarify, however, how certain information might be automatically collected through third-party tools we employ to enhance your browsing experience (such as site analytics, customized advertisements, and video content). This privacy statement strives to provide clear, transparent insights into these practices and how we safeguard your information and privacy while you explore Griddle Glory.
Third-party services used
To maintain Griddle Glory's smooth operation and continue delivering free recipes, we utilize various third-party services. These tools help us monitor site usage patterns, support our content through advertising revenue, and enhance our pages with rich video content. Here's a breakdown of the key external services we implement:
- Google Analytics: This Google-provided traffic analysis tool gathers anonymous data about site usage (including page views and session duration). These insights help us identify our most beloved recipes and implement site improvements. While Google Analytics may deploy cookies for tracking purposes, Griddle Glory doesn't collect any personally identifiable information about you.
- Google AdSense: This advertising system allows us to display relevant ads throughout our site. These advertisements support our operations while keeping our content free for everyone. AdSense might utilize cookies to display ads that match your interests based on your browsing behavior. Griddle Glory cannot access the personal information Google uses for ad customization. You'll find more details in Google's privacy documentation.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This performance monitoring service helps us analyze traffic patterns without using identification cookies. It enables us to spot potential technical issues and maintain a fast, secure browsing experience. The information Cloudflare collects (such as IP addresses and navigation data) is combined into aggregate statistics and isn't used for individual identification.
- YouTube: Our site occasionally features embedded cooking videos hosted on YouTube (a Google-owned platform). When viewing these videos on Griddle Glory, YouTube/Google may set cookies to track playback and gather statistics (like view counts). If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube might link your viewing activity with your profile, though we have no access to this information. YouTube/Google's privacy policy contains additional details about their practices.
