General Introduction
tastyplatestories is all about simple and friendly cooking. We don't offer user accounts and we never gather your personal info directly. That means your data isn't sold or passed along to anyone.
Still, third-party services might automatically pick up some information to help us enhance your visit (like analytics, curated ads, or embedded videos). This privacy policy breaks down what gets collected, how these tools work, and how tastyplatestories's team keeps your privacy front and center while you browse our site.
Third-party services used
To keep tastyplatestories running smoothly—and let you access recipes for free—we rely on outside services. They're key to helping us figure out what works on the site, support our free content with ads, and brighten pages with delicious video content. Check out the main third-party platforms we lean on:
- Cloudflare Analytics: tastyplatestories uses Cloudflare to watch site traffic and maintain performance. No identifying cookies are set. The data collected (like your IP or general browsing info) is grouped together and never used to pick out individuals. This helps us spot bugs and make sure everything's speedy and safe.
- YouTube: Sometimes, you’ll see tastyplatestories recipe videos embedded through YouTube. When you press play, YouTube (owned by Google) might set cookies to log stats about the video—like view counts. If you're signed in to a Google account, YouTube could link those stats to your profile, but tastyplatestories won’t have access. For more details, check YouTube/Google's privacy policies.
- Google AdSense: Our partnership with Google AdSense lets us show you ads to help fund tastyplatestories and keep content free. AdSense could use cookies to display ads tailored to your interests and browsing patterns. tastyplatestories doesn't get any personal data used by Google for this ad targeting. To learn more, head over to Google's privacy info.
- Google Analytics: tastyplatestories relies on Google Analytics to see how visitors move through the site. It tracks traffic anonymously—things like which recipes are checked out or how long people stick around. Cookies might be involved for this, but nothing personally identifying is stored by tastyplatestories. These insights help us serve you better recipes and experiences.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files that get saved on your device each time you visit tastyplatestories.com. Both tastyplatestories and some of our external partners use them to give you a better browsing experience:

- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense relies on these cookies to show ads that might match your tastes and past browsing. They help keep tastyplatestories free by showing more relevant ads.
- Functional cookies: They’re necessary for tastyplatestories to work well—like remembering your language setting or if you gave cookie consent. Some features may stop working without them.
By spending time on tastyplatestories.com, you’re agreeing to these cookie uses as described. You can adjust or clear cookies anytime from your browser settings. Most browsers let you block, remove, or get notified about new cookies. But if you turn cookies off, some parts of tastyplatestories (and other sites) might not work as intended.
