General Introduction
Hazel Dish is all about easy, friendly recipes. We don't require accounts, and we don’t gather personal info directly from you. So, your data simply isn’t sold or shared.
Still, we want to be upfront about how certain details might be automatically picked up by third-party services that help us enhance your browsing. That covers things like analytics, personalized ads, and embedded videos. This privacy policy’s here to clearly lay out how these work and what Hazel Dish does to safeguard your privacy and info while you’re here.
Third-party services we rely on
Hazel Dish depends on select third-party services to keep things running smoothly, offer free recipes, and make your experience better. These partners let us see how you interact with our site, keep our recipes free with ads, and add video content to our pages. Here’s a rundown of the main third-party services we use:
- YouTube: Whenever Hazel Dish includes a video, it's hosted by YouTube (under Google). If you watch a recipe video on Hazel Dish, YouTube/Google cookies might get set to monitor your viewing activity and gather stats (like views). If you’re signed into Google, YouTube could link that activity to your profile, but Hazel Dish never sees any of this personal data. Check out YouTube’s privacy policy for details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare handles traffic and site performance analysis for Hazel Dish. It monitors how fast and safe everything runs, without setting cookies that can ID you. Info Cloudflare picks up (such as IP or browsing activity) is grouped together and not used to track individuals.
- Google AdSense: Hazel Dish uses Google’s ad platform to show ads that support our free culinary content. AdSense might use cookies to serve ads based on what you’re browsing. Hazel Dish doesn’t get access to Google’s personalization data. All details on this are in Google's privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Google’s audience measurement lets Hazel Dish see anonymous stats about page visits and user activity. This helps us make content better and see what’s popular. Google Analytics uses cookies for tracking, though Hazel Dish doesn't gather or store anything that IDs you.
