General Introduction
Welcome to Ighir Bites, where sharing straightforward recipes and a relaxed atmosphere are at the heart of what we do. We don't offer user profiles and never ask for your personal details directly. This means we never trade or give away anything that could identify you personally.
Still, it's important for us to outline how some automatic data collection might happen through third-party features that help make Ighir Bites better for you. These might include site analytics, personalized ads, or built-in video content. This privacy policy gives you a clear rundown of these tools and our approach to your privacy while visiting Ighir Bites.
Third-party services used
To keep Ighir Bites running smoothly and recipes free to access, we rely on select external providers. These tools help us improve the site, support our work with advertising, and add engaging video content. Here's a breakdown of which third-party services we use:
- Google Analytics: This is Google’s service for tracking site statistics. It anonymously gathers info like which pages you visit or how long you stick around. These insights show us which meals you're loving and help us tune up Ighir Bites. Google Analytics works via cookies, but Ighir Bites never gets details that would personally identify you.
- Google AdSense: Google's ad network lets us display advertisements here. These ads help cover our costs and keep recipes free for you. AdSense uses cookies to personalize which ads you see to what interests you. Ighir Bites doesn’t handle or see the private info Google uses to select those ads. For extra info, you can always check out Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: We use Cloudflare to track traffic and keep the site running well. Unlike some tools, it doesn’t use personal cookies for tracking. Data from Cloudflare (like your IP or site activity) is tallied in bulk and never ties back to just you. This helps us spot bugs while keeping Ighir Bites fast and safe.
- YouTube: Some of our recipes feature step-by-step videos hosted on YouTube (part of Google). Watching a video here places cookies for YouTube/Google, tracking stats like play count. If you’re signed in to a Google account, your views may be linked to your profile, but we don’t access any of this info. See YouTube/Google's privacy policy if you'd like more details.
