General Introduction
dishtrailblazer is your go-to spot for simple, friendly recipe inspiration. We skip user accounts and never directly gather any data about you. That means your personal information doesn't get sold or shared, ever.
Still, some details might be automatically picked up by outside services we rely on to make your experience smoother—like stats on site visits, personalized ads, or embedded video players. This privacy policy walks you through how these third parties work, what gets collected automatically, and what dishtrailblazer does to keep your browsing safe and private on dishtrailblazer.
Third-party services used
To keep dishtrailblazer running smoothly and let you access free culinary content, we partner with outside services. They help us analyze how folks use our site, support us with advertising, and make our pages more dynamic with videos. Here's a look at the main third-party tools we use:
- YouTube: We sometimes include recipe videos from YouTube. When you watch them on dishtrailblazer, YouTube may set tracking cookies and measure viewing stats like total plays. If you're signed into your Google account, YouTube/Google could link those views to your profile—but dishtrailblazer can't see any of that personal info. For details, check Google's privacy rules.
- Cloudflare Analytics: We use Cloudflare Analytics for site performance and traffic checks. It gathers general info, including IP and browsing details, but in a way that doesn't single you out. No identifying cookies are set—this helps us keep dishtrailblazer speedy and spot any technical hiccups.
- Google AdSense: AdSense places ads on dishtrailblazer so we can keep recipes free for everyone. These ads rely on cookies to make them more relevant based on what you've been looking at online. dishtrailblazer never sees the data Google uses to personalize these ads. You can read Google's privacy guidelines for more info.
- Google Analytics: To understand what dishes folks love and to improve dishtrailblazer, we use Google Analytics. It gathers anonymous details—like which pages you visit and how long you stick around—often via cookies. We don't receive any personal data about you from Google Analytics.
