General Introduction
Try Plately is your go-to recipe platform that prioritizes simplicity and ease of use. We don’t have user accounts and don’t collect your personal information directly. This means we never sell or share any personal data about you.
That said, we’d like to explain how some data might be automatically gathered through third-party tools we use to enhance your experience. Examples include traffic stats, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy policy is designed to clearly and transparently explain these practices and the steps we take to ensure your privacy and data protection when browsing Try Plately.
Third-Party Services in Use
To keep Try Plately running smoothly and to provide you with free recipe access, we depend on services provided by third parties. These tools help us understand how you engage with the site, fund our content through advertisements, and enrich pages with additional media like videos. Below are the key third-party services we use:
- Google Analytics: This audience insight tool by Google gathers anonymous traffic data, such as pages visited and time spent. It helps us figure out which recipes are most liked and how to make the site better. While Google Analytics might use cookies to track this data, Try Plately doesn’t acquire any personal identifiers about you.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform displays ads on our site, enabling us to keep content accessible for free. AdSense might use cookies to show ads that match your browsing habits. Try Plately doesn’t access your personal data Google might utilize to tailor these ads. Check Google’s privacy policy for more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Offered by Cloudflare, this tool analyzes website performance and traffic without placing cookies that can identify you. It lets us monitor site speed, resolve technical hiccups, and keep Try Plately secure. The data collected, like your IP and browsing activity, is aggregated and not tied to any specific user.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed recipe videos from YouTube, a platform owned by Google. Watching these videos on Try Plately might result in YouTube’s cookies being used to track playback stats, such as view counts. If you’re logged into Google, your activity may link to your account, though Try Plately doesn’t have access to this data. Visit YouTube’s privacy policy for more insight.
