General Overview
urbanforkbeat's recipe platform celebrates easygoing cooking and friendly sharing. You won't need an account anywhere, and we don’t take your personal details directly. As a result, there's no selling or trading of your info — ever.
Still, some data might be gathered automatically by third-party tools we use to enhance your visit (think: traffic stats, custom ads, and embedded vids). This privacy policy spells out what happens, how outside services handle your data, and urbanforkbeat's commitment to keeping things secure and straightforward when you browse our site.
Third-Party Integrations
urbanforkbeat relies on several outside providers for smooth operation and free recipe access. These partners assist us in learning about your use of our platform, supporting content costs with ads, and adding video experiences. Here are the main tools we use:
- Google Analytics: This tool from Google examines visitor activity anonymously (which pages interest folks, how long they linger). That helps us see which recipes resonate and guides our improvements. Google Analytics uses cookies for tracking, but urbanforkbeat never sees anything personally identifiable.
- Google AdSense: Google's own ad network displays promotions on our site, letting us offer recipes for free. AdSense relies on cookies to show ads matching your browsing. urbanforkbeat doesn't access the personal info Google uses for tailoring ads. For details, check Google’s own privacy statements.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Powered by Cloudflare, this solution monitors website health and activity quietly, with no identifying cookies. It lets us pinpoint tech glitches and keep urbanforkbeat lightning-fast and safe. The info Cloudflare handles (like IPs and basic browsing stats) gets bundled together — there's no individual tracking.
- YouTube: Sometimes we embed a recipe video from YouTube, part of the Google family. Watching one from urbanforkbeat’s site lets YouTube drop cookies and tally stats (view count, playback). If you’re signed in to Google, YouTube may tie video watches to your account, but urbanforkbeat can’t see or retrieve any of that data. More about this in Google’s/YouTube’s privacy info.
Cookies & Your Choices
Cookies are tiny text files saved to your device when you visit a website. urbanforkbeat and its third-party providers use them to boost your experience:
- Functional cookies: They make urbanforkbeat work as it should — think remembering your language or that you’ve given cookie consent. Block these, and some features may hiccup.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics. They look at how urbanforkbeat’s site gets used but only in merged batches, which helps us spot trends and make the platform better.
- Advertising cookies: When Google AdSense serves ads, these cookies note your interests and habits for more relevant suggestions.
By browsing urbanforkbeat, you agree that cookies get used as described. If you want to change your cookie settings or wipe them out, check your browser controls. Most browsers let you block, trim, or give you a heads up before dropping cookies. Keep in mind, disabling them could change how urbanforkbeat and other sites work for you.
