General Introduction
At Snack Splat, we've built our food-focused platform around trust and transparency. You won't find any user accounts here, and we don't gather your personal details. That means there's zero personal data being traded or transferred to others.
Still, it's important you know about the automatic data collection that happens through our third-party tools. These help enhance your browsing experience with features like usage metrics, custom ads, and video content. Here's our straightforward breakdown of how we protect your privacy while you explore Snack Plat.
Third-party services used
To keep Snack Splat running smoothly and maintain our free recipe collection, we've partnered with several service providers. They assist us with site analytics, revenue generation, and multimedia integration. Here's what you should know about our key partners:
- Google Analytics: This tracking tool gives us anonymous insights about how you use our site. We'll see which dishes you love most and where we can make improvements, but we won't know who you are personally. Google might use cookies, but your identity stays private.
- Google AdSense: We keep our content free thanks to these targeted ads. While AdSense may track your interests via cookies, we never see your personal details. Check out Google's privacy terms for the full scoop.
- Cloudflare Analytics: They help us keep things running fast and smooth without cookie-based tracking. While they'll spot your IP address and browsing patterns, it's all anonymized data that can't be traced back to you.
- YouTube: When we embed cooking videos, YouTube's parent company Google might drop some cookies to count views and track playback. If you're logged into Google, they might link your viewing history, but we can't access any of that data. YouTube's privacy policy has more details.
Cookies and consent
When you visit Snack Plat, tiny data files called cookies help create a better browsing experience. Here's how we and our partners use them:
- Functional cookies: Think of these as the kitchen basics - they keep your preferences saved and ensure everything works properly. They're essential to the site's operation.
- Analytics cookies: Our friends at Google and Cloudflare use these to understand traffic patterns. This helps us serve up better content and keep the site running smoothly.
- Advertising cookies: These help Google AdSense show you ads that match your interests.
By using Snack Plat, you're okay with these cookie practices. Want more control? Your browser settings let you manage or remove cookies anytime. Just remember, blocking them might affect how well Snack Splat works for you.
Changes to this policy
Just like recipes, our privacy policy gets tweaked now and then. We'll update it to match new features, services, or legal requirements. When we make big changes, you'll know about it - we'll post notices right on our homepage.
Check the date at the top to see when we last updated things. It's worth bookmarking this page and checking back occasionally to stay in the loop about our privacy practices.
