General Introduction
Fire and Bites delivers mouthwatering recipes without the hassle of user registration. We're committed to a no-frills approach - you won't find any direct data collection here, and we never trade or distribute personal information.
We'd like to be upfront about how certain automated data gets gathered through our third-party partnerships that enhance your browsing experience - think usage stats, relevant ads, and video content. Here's a transparent look at how we safeguard your privacy while you explore Fire and Bites.
Third-party services used
To keep Fire and Bites running smoothly and offer you complimentary recipes, we rely on select third-party tools. These services give us insights into site usage, help fund our content, and integrate video features. Here's what we use:
- Google Analytics: This Google tool tracks anonymous visitor data like page views and session length. It helps us identify trending recipes and make site improvements. While Google Analytics uses cookies, Fire and Bites never collects personally identifiable details.
- Google AdSense: This platform displays ads that keep our content free. AdSense may use cookies for ad targeting, but Fire and Bites can't access your personal data. Check Google's privacy policy for more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This cookie-free service monitors site performance and traffic. It helps us tackle technical issues and maintain speed. Cloudflare aggregates data like IP addresses - nothing that identifies individual users.
- YouTube: Our embedded recipe videos come from YouTube (owned by Google). Watching these may trigger YouTube/Google cookies for playback tracking and stats. While logged-in users' viewing history may link to their Google profiles, we can't access this data. See YouTube's privacy policy for details.
Cookies and consent
When you visit websites, small text files called cookies get stored on your device. Both Fire and Bites and our partners use these to enhance your experience:
- Functional cookies: These power core features like language settings and consent choices. The site needs these to work properly.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to gather site usage data. This helps us understand visitor behavior and optimize Fire and Bites.
- Advertising cookies: These enable Google AdSense to show relevant ads based on your interests and browsing.
Using Fire and Bites means you're okay with these cookie practices. You've got control through your browser settings to manage or remove cookies. Most browsers let you block them, delete them, or get notifications first. Just know that blocking cookies might impact your experience here and elsewhere.
