General Introduction
Meadow Plate is dedicated to sharing easy-to-follow recipes in a friendly setting. You won’t find user accounts here, and Meadow Plate never asks for your personal info directly. That means we don’t sell or distribute any details about you.
Still, it’s important to let you know how some information could be collected automatically by outside providers that help make the site better—things like site analytics, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy page explains what’s collected, why, and how Meadow Plate cares for your privacy every time you visit meadowplate.com.
Third-party services used
To keep Meadow Plate running smoothly and provide free recipe content, we rely on a few outside service providers. These partners allow us to learn how visitors use the site, serve advertising to keep content free, and add extra features like embedded videos. Here’s a look at the main services involved:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This performance monitoring tool gives us insights into web traffic and speed without dropping identifying cookies. It helps us spot technical glitches and keeps meadowplate.com secure and speedy. Cloudflare only provides aggregated statistics, and Meadow Plate can’t identify you personally.
- YouTube: Recipe videos are sometimes displayed via embedded YouTube players. If you watch a video, YouTube (owned by Google) may store cookies to record statistics like view counts and playback activity. If you’re signed into a Google account, YouTube could link viewing to your profile, but Meadow Plate never sees or accesses that info. Want details? Check YouTube/Google’s own privacy page.
- Google AdSense: AdSense, Google's ad solution, lets us show ads and keep our recipes accessible for free. These ads use cookies to match your interests and browsing habits for more personalized recommendations. Meadow Plate doesn't have access to what Google uses for targeting these ads. More specifics are available in Google's privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Analytics from Google tracks traffic patterns at a group level, like popularity of recipes or time spent on certain pages. It uses cookies to do this anonymously. This helps Meadow Plate tune content and make improvements, but we never see info that could identify you personally.
