General Introduction
freshbitewave is your go-to hub for fuss-free recipes with a welcoming vibe. Our platform doesn’t use account logins, and we steer clear of collecting your personal data directly. That means we never sell or pass along your info to anyone else.
Still, it's important for us to share how some third-party services might automatically gather certain details (like analytics, targeted ads, or embedded video content) to make your browsing better. This privacy notice lays out the basics of how these tools work, what data could be collected, and the steps freshbitewave takes to look out for your privacy as you explore our recipes.
Third-party services used
To make sure freshbitewave works smoothly and serves up free recipe content, we rely on outside service providers. These platforms help us understand what you enjoy, keep the site running, fund our content with ads, and add some fun with embedded recipe videos. Here are the key third-party solutions we use:
- YouTube: Occasionally, our site includes video demos from YouTube (which is run by Google). Watching a YouTube video on freshbitewave may allow YouTube/Google cookies to track playbacks and gather stats like view count. If you’re logged into Google, YouTube might link this data to your account, but we can't access any details tied to you. For more specifics, check out YouTube or Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: freshbitewave uses Cloudflare to get a better picture of site performance and visitor patterns, all without cookies that directly identify you. This info is taken in aggregate and lets us spot technical snags or keep the platform speedy and protected. Cloudflare gathers certain details—like IP addresses and browsing insights—but not in a way that singles you out.
- Google AdSense: freshbitewave shows ads to cover costs, using Google’s AdSense network. These ads are tailored to your interests based on browsing, thanks to cookies. However, freshbitewave doesn’t receive or store any of the personal data that Google uses for ad targeting. Visit Google’s privacy policy for more on how your data is managed.
- Google Analytics: To see how people use freshbitewave, we work with Google Analytics, which tracks general info like which pages are viewed and how long visitors stick around. This is all anonymized, helping us know which content resonates most—and how we can do better—without identifying individual users. Google Analytics does use cookies to do this.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files your device stores when you visit a website. Both freshbitewave and our partners use cookies to make your experience smoother:
- Advertising cookies: These are set by Google AdSense to customize ads. They might keep tabs on what you like or how you browse so ads are a better fit for you.
- Analytics cookies: Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics use these to take a general look at traffic and site activity. This kind of data is pulled together and shows us how folks move around freshbitewave, so we can keep making improvements.
- Functional cookies: Super important for basic site operations—like saving your language choice or remembering your consent settings. Without them, some features might not work right.
By hanging out on freshbitewave, you’re agreeing to our cookie use as explained above. If you want to control or remove cookies, you can do that in your browser’s settings. Most browsers let you clear, stop, or get alerts before any cookies land. Just know that saying no to cookies might affect how freshbitewave (and other sites) work for you.
Changes to this policy
We might tweak this privacy policy from time to time. Changes could happen if we update our methods, start using new providers, or need to stay legal and up to date with the rules. If we make any big changes, we’ll let you know clearly—like updating the homepage or popping up a notice so you’re in the loop.
The revision date at the top shows when this page was last updated. We suggest checking back every so often to see how freshbitewave is looking out for your privacy.
