General Introduction
dasrezept values unpretentiousness and a welcoming atmosphere; it's a spot dedicated to the world of cooking. We skip user accounts and don't grab your personal info directly. So, we aren't selling or handing over any of your data.
Still, we wanna spell out how some data might get picked up automatically. It happens via other folks' services we use, all to boost your experience (think traffic numbers, custom ads, and videos right in the page). Bottom line, this privacy policy tells you plain and simple what's up, what we do to keep your data safe while you're checking out dasrezept.
Third-party services used
To keep dasrezept running smoothly and keep dishing out free recipes, we're using a handful of services from outside companies. They help us get where folks are clicking, pay for things with advertising, and spice up the site through embedded video. Here's the basics on the services we're tapping:
- Google Analytics: Google gives us this audience analysis tool. It grabs anonymous numbers on what's going on with the site (like pages viewed, time spent). These stats tell us which recipes are a hit and how to make the site better. Google Analytics might use cookies for this, but dasrezept doesn't round up stuff that directly points to you.
- Google AdSense: Ads show up around dasrezept, and that's AdSense, Google's ad platform. The ads help pay the bills while we keep content free. AdSense sometimes drops cookies to show you ads based on what you're looking at. Keep in mind, dasrezept doesn't get access to personal info that Google uses to tweak those ads. Swing by Google's privacy policy if you wanna know more.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare's web traffic analysis service lets us monitor site health and traffic levels without using cookies that ID you. This helps us spot possible technical hiccups and keep dasrezept fast and secure. This stuff Cloudflare grabs (IP addresses, browsing info) is clumped together and doesn't point to individual users.
- YouTube: Sometimes we slip in videos from YouTube (part of the Google universe). When you're watching a YouTube video on dasrezept, YouTube/Google might use cookies to watch the playthrough and grab stats (like view counts). If you're signed in with Google, YouTube might even tie that viewing to your profile, but we don't get to see that info. Check outta YouTube/Google's privacy policy to learn the specifics.
Cookies and consent
When you swing by a website, tiny text files get stored on your device—those are cookies. dasrezept and its partners use cookies to make your browsing experience smoother:
- Functional cookies: These essential cookies keep the site ticking (like remembering your language choice). Some gears won't turn without them.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics lean on these to capture site stats and usage data. This grouped-up data helps us spot what folks are up to on dasrezept, which helps us dial in the content and performance.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense drops these to serve up those ads. They might log your interests and browsing to hit you with more relevant ads.
By exploring dasrezept, you're agreeing to our use of cookies. You can tweak or nuke cookies from your browser's settings. Block or delete cookies in most browsers, or get pinged before they land. Just know, dialing down cookies might mess with your experience on dasrezept and other sites.
Changes to this policy
Our privacy policy might change down the road. We might tweak it to show our latest practices, new tricks we're using, or to respect changing regulations. If we make big changes, we're on it—we'll throw it out there on the site, maybe with a banner on the front page.
At the top, there's a last updated date indicating the latest tweak. Check out this page every now and again to get the scoop on our privacy habits.
