General Introduction
freshforklab is all about keeping recipes easy and sharing them in a welcoming way. We don't use user accounts and we never gather your personal details ourselves. That means we don't sell or swap any personal info about you, either.
Still, we think it's important to let you know how some data might get collected automatically by outside services. We use those for things like tracking traffic stats, personalizing ads, or showing embedded videos. This privacy policy's here to make clear how that works and what freshforklab does to keep your data safe while you browse.
Third-party services we use
To keep freshforklab running smoothly (and free!), we rely on a few tools from outside providers. These services help us get to know what our visitors enjoy, keep the site funded with ads, and bring you embedded recipe videos. Here are the main ones we work with:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This tool lets us see how the site performs and tracks overall traffic — without storing cookies that personally identify you. freshforklab uses this info only in summary form, so it's never tied to you as an individual. It helps us spot problems or speed issues to keep the site smooth and secure.
- YouTube: Sometimes, you’ll see videos on freshforklab from YouTube (owned by Google). When you hit play, YouTube or Google may set cookies to measure things like views or watch time. If you’re signed in on Google, YouTube might connect video activity to your personal profile. freshforklab never sees that personal information. Want to learn more? Head over to YouTube or Google’s privacy details.
- Google AdSense: We show ads from Google AdSense to help pay for the free recipes on freshforklab. AdSense might use your browsing habits or interests from cookies to show more relevant ads, but we don’t have access to your specific personal data. To learn how Google manages your ad experience, check out their privacy page.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics gives us anonymous stats about how visitors use freshforklab — like popular pages and average time spent. Cookies may log this activity, yet we never get anything that would identify you. These insights help us spot trends and improve our site.
Cookies & your choices
Cookies are tiny files your browser stores when you land on a website. freshforklab and our partners use cookies for a better, smoother visit:
- Advertising cookies: These are set by partners like Google AdSense. They remember what you’re interested in, so ads can be more relevant for you as you browse.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics rely on these little files to show us general stats about how visitors move through freshforklab. We use this info (which is always grouped together, never personal) to make the site better and faster.
- Functional cookies: These cookies make sure freshforklab works the way it should — remembering things like your language settings or privacy consents. Without them, some features just wouldn't work right.
By continuing to use freshforklab, you agree to how we use cookies as described here. Want to manage or wipe them? You can do that anytime in your browser’s settings — most browsers let you block, remove, or get a warning before cookies are stored. Just know, switching off cookies might limit how well freshforklab (and other sites) work for you.
How we'll update this policy
