General Introduction
Fork Ledger is all about keeping things easy and enjoyable for everyone who loves recipes. There aren't any user accounts here, so Fork Ledger doesn't directly gather your personal data. That means your information isn’t sold or shared with anyone else.
Still, we think it’s important to be open about how certain data might get collected by services Fork Ledger relies on to make your experience smoother (like tracking how much traffic we get, showing you tailored ads, or playing videos). This privacy policy spells out exactly what gets gathered by those third parties and how Fork Ledger works to keep your privacy safe while you browse the site.
Third-party services used
To keep Fork Ledger running smoothly and let you browse our recipes at no cost, we depend on a handful of third-party tools. These services help us keep track of how visitors use the site, pay the bills with advertising, and embed videos for richer content. The main platforms Fork Ledger partners with are listed below:
- Cloudflare Analytics: Fork Ledger checks how the site’s doing and keeps it speedy and secure with help from Cloudflare. This service looks at things like traffic and technical snags, but the info stays aggregated—so no identifying any individual visitors. Plus, it doesn't use cookies that follow you around.
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll see videos hosted through YouTube right on Fork Ledger. Watching one means YouTube (part of Google) may save cookies to keep track of stats like viewing numbers. If you’re logged into Google, YouTube might link what you watch to your account, but Fork Ledger won't ever see any of that data. For details, check out YouTube or Google’s privacy pages.
- Google AdSense: We use AdSense to show ads throughout Fork Ledger, and that’s how we keep content free for you. AdSense cookies can help show you ads that match your interests or web activity; however, Fork Ledger can’t access any personal details Google uses for ad targeting. You can always read more about this by visiting Google’s privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Fork Ledger relies on this Google offering to get a sense of which recipes are trending or what visitors click on most. Google Analytics gathers general data (like which pages you visit or how long you stay) to give us insight for making the site better—but it never identifies you personally. Cookies may be involved in its tracking.
Cookies and consent
When you check out Fork Ledger, small pieces of data called cookies could get stored on your device. Both Fork Ledger and its partners use these cookies to enhance how the site works for you:
- Advertising cookies: These are how Google AdSense knows what ads to show you on Fork Ledger. They might save info about your interests and browsing to keep ads relevant.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics count on these cookies to understand site usage and traffic. All the collected info is blended together, which helps Fork Ledger learn how visitors interact and find ways to improve.
- Functional cookies: These cookies keep things running smoothly on Fork Ledger. For example, they remember your language settings or any privacy choices you’ve made. Without them, some parts of the site just wouldn’t work right.
By using Fork Ledger, you’re agreeing to these cookie uses as described. You’re always in control, though—manage or clear cookies in your own browser settings. Most browsers give you tools to block, delete, or get alerts about cookies before they're placed. Heads up: turning off cookies can change how Fork Ledger (and other pages) behave for you.
Changes to this policy
This privacy policy could change from time to time. Whenever Fork Ledger updates its terms—whether it’s to meet the law, add new features, or change how we do things—we’ll make that clear right on the website (like a homepage message or update notification).
You can always spot the current version by checking the date listed at the top. We encourage you to check back here now and then so you’re always in the know about Fork Ledger’s privacy commitments.
