General Introduction
Plate Relay is all about sharing easy recipes in a friendly way. There's no need to make an account, and we don't gather your personal details. That also means Plate Relay doesn't sell or pass on any of your information.
Still, we want to be open about the data that may get collected behind the scenes. Services we use from third parties might collect info automatically to help us improve Plate Relay (like visitor stats, ads, or videos). This privacy policy is here to show you how it all works and how we keep your browsing and data safe every time you use Plate Relay.
Third-party services used
To give you free access to tasty recipes and keep Plate Relay running smoothly, we use several third-party partners. They help us make Plate Relay better, support the site through ads, and add cool features like videos. Here are the main tools Plate Relay relies on:
- YouTube: When you watch a recipe video on Plate Relay, it's played through YouTube. Cookies from YouTube/Google might track how you view videos or gather viewing stats, like the number of plays. If you're signed into a Google account, YouTube could connect your watch history to your profile, but Plate Relay doesn't see any of this data. You can get the details in YouTube or Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Plate Relay uses Cloudflare to keep things running quickly and securely. It tracks traffic and performance without using cookies that identify you personally. The browsing data Cloudflare gathers (like your IP address) is grouped together and not traced back to individuals. This helps us spot technical problems fast.
- Google AdSense: AdSense lets us show ads to support Plate Relay while keeping access free for you. It uses cookies to tailor advertising to your browsing habits. Plate Relay never has access to any personal information Google uses. Visit Google's privacy pages for more info.
- Google Analytics: With this tool, Plate Relay can see overall site activity—like which recipes get the most visits or how long someone stays on a page. Google Analytics gathers anonymous stats using cookies, but it never shares information that would let us identify you.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files saved on your device whenever you land on Plate Relay or its third-party partners' sites. They're there to make your experience better:
- Advertising cookies: Plate Relay uses Google AdSense for ads. These cookies help offer you more tailored ads by keeping track of your interests and browsing activity.
- Analytics cookies: Plate Relay works with Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to learn how people use the site. This anonymous info helps us make Plate Relay smarter and faster for everyone.
- Functional cookies: Without these, essential things like saving your language preference or remembering choices wouldn't work right. Some features might even stop working.
By choosing to use Plate Relay, you agree to how we use cookies as explained. You can change or remove cookies in your browser settings—most browsers let you control, block, or erase them, or warn you if one is being set. Just remember, blocking cookies could impact how Plate Relay and other sites look and work for you.
