General Introduction
Meadow Forks is your go-to place for easy, enjoyable cooking inspiration. We don't have user accounts, and we never ask for your personal details. So, there's no personal info to sell or hand over to anyone.
Still, some data may get collected automatically by outside services to boost your browsing (like site analytics, customized ads, or embedded videos). This privacy policy gives you a clear view of what happens behind the scenes and how Meadow Forks's got your privacy covered while you explore our site.
Third-party services we use
To keep Meadow Forks running smoothly and bring you no-cost recipes, we sometimes rely on third-party tools. They help us improve your experience, keep our content free thanks to ads, and add videos right on our pages. Here are the main outside services we use:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us monitor performance and site traffic without cookies that pinpoint who you are. The service only shows us summarized information (for example, IPs or general browsing patterns), so you stay anonymous. This helps fix tech hiccups and keeps Meadow Forks fast and protected.
- YouTube: Occasionally, you’ll spot recipe videos hosted on YouTube, which is part of Google. Watching these on Meadow Forks means YouTube/Google might save cookies to keep track of video views and stats (like view counts). If you’re logged into your Google account, YouTube might connect your activity to your profile—but we never see this info. To find out more, check YouTube/Google’s privacy policy.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform puts advertisements on Meadow Forks, so we can keep the recipes free. AdSense uses cookies to pick ads suited to your browsing habits. Meadow Forks never has access to the personal information Google may use to select ads. Read more details in Google’s own privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics lets us track site usage (like which pages are most read or average time on site). They use cookies to gather anonymous data, which we review to tweak and improve your Meadow Forks experience. We don’t collect or see information that directly identifies you.
Cookies and your choices
Cookies are short bits of text data saved to your device when you browse online. Meadow Forks and our partners rely on cookies to create a better experience for you:
- Advertising cookies: These are used by Google AdSense to show you relevant ads. They learn about your interests and browsing, helping serve up content that matters to you.
- Analytics cookies: Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics use these cookies to see how visitors use Meadow Forks. The insights are merged together, letting us fine-tune the site and understand how people move around on our pages.
- Functional cookies: These crucial cookies support day-to-day features—like remembering which language you picked or your cookie preferences. Without them, some parts of Meadow Forks won’t work as intended.
By enjoying Meadow Forks, you’re agreeing to how we use cookies. Prefer not to accept cookies? You can update or remove them any time in your browser settings. Most browsers let you block, erase, or get alerts before cookies are set. Turning off cookies, though, may affect how Meadow Forks or other sites work for you.
