General Introduction
Abrid Bites is a recipe destination focused on easy, friendly cooking. We don't have accounts, and we never collect your personal details ourselves. That means your private info is never shared or sold by Abrid Bites.
Still, we want to be upfront about how outside tools might automatically gather data while you browse (think: website stats, ads, or embedded videos). This privacy policy explains those practices simply and clearly—plus how Abrid Bites protects your privacy as you use the site.
Third-party services we rely on
To keep Abrid Bites running smoothly and free for everyone, we partner with outside companies. These services help us show videos, track stats, and support the site with ads. Here's a rundown of the main tools we use:
- YouTube: Sometimes we share step-by-step cooking videos hosted on YouTube. Watching these on Abrid Bites may allow YouTube (which is owned by Google) to store cookies or track views. If you’re signed in to Google, YouTube might link what you watch to your profile, but we can’t see any of this info. Check out YouTube/Google's privacy page for more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This Cloudflare tool helps us watch site performance and traffic. It avoids tracking cookies, so nothing personally identifies you. Cloudflare collects some data (like IP addresses and browsing info), but all of it is aggregated—not tied to you as an individual. It helps us keep Abrid Bites running fast and smoothly.
- Google AdSense: Ads on the site are served through AdSense, Google’s ad platform. These help cover our costs while letting you access recipes at no charge. AdSense may use cookies to display ads based on your interests. We don’t see or access any of the personal info used by Google for ad targeting. For more details, you can visit Google’s privacy site.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics helps us see popular recipes, website traffic, and what visitors like most. It uses anonymous data—like which pages are clicked or how long you stay. Google Analytics might use cookies for this, but Abrid Bites never gets any personally identifying info from it.
Cookies and your preferences
Cookies are tiny files added to your device when you visit sites. Abrid Bites, along with our selected partners, use these to make your experience better:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to provide ads that match your interests or browsing history.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use cookies to help Abrid Bites track website statistics. These reports, always aggregated, help us tweak content and boost site performance.
- Functional cookies: These are key for the site to remember your language, keep your settings, or manage your privacy preferences. Some site features won’t work if these are turned off.
By surfing Abrid Bites, you agree to this use of cookies. You can clear or manage cookies anytime using your browser settings. Most browsers let you block, remove, or get alerts for cookies as they arrive. Just be aware: if you turn off cookies, it might limit how well Abrid Bites and other websites work.
Policy changes
This privacy policy might get updated from time to time. We’ll make changes if there’s a shift in the tools we use, the way we handle data, or because of new laws. If we introduce a major change, you’ll see a clear notice right on the Abrid Bites site (like a banner or special notification).
You can always check the date at the top of this page to see when we last made changes. We recommend you drop by now and then to stay current on how Abrid Bites protects your information.
