General Introduction
Apex Dish makes sharing recipes easy and enjoyable. We skip user accounts and won't ever ask for your personal details. That means your private info isn't collected, sold, or given away by us.
Still, for your awareness, here’s how some information might be automatically gathered through select third-party tools we use. These help us enhance your visit—like tracking visitor stats, tailoring ads, or showing embedded videos. This privacy policy breaks down what goes on behind the scenes and how Apex Dish works to keep your data safe when you're browsing.
Third-party services used
To keep Apex Dish running smoothly and offering recipes at no cost, we rely on a few trusted third-party services. They help us analyze site usage, support content creation through ads, and add video features. Here’s a rundown of the primary third-party platforms involved:
- YouTube: Occasionally, we include recipe videos from YouTube. Watching these on Apex Dish may set YouTube/Google cookies, which track views and playback stats. If you’re signed in on Google, YouTube could link views to your account, but Apex Dish doesn’t see or access this info. For details, you can review YouTube/Google’s privacy policies.
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service lets us monitor how Apex Dish performs and handles traffic, all without using cookies that pinpoint your identity. It gathers anonymous data (like your IP and what you browse), helping us solve site problems and keep our pages speedy and safe without tracking who you are.
- Google AdSense: With this ad platform, we show you relevant ads to help fund Apex Dish’s free recipes. AdSense can use cookies to personalize promotions based on your browsing, but our team can’t access the personal ad data Google uses. For more information, see Google’s privacy resources.
- Google Analytics: Google’s analytics tool collects anonymous info about which parts of Apex Dish visitors use most and for how long. This helps us improve what we serve. Google Analytics uses cookies to tally this data, but Apex Dish doesn’t get enough info to identify you personally.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny pieces of text your browser keeps when you land on a website. Apex Dish and some of our third-party partners use them to enhance your browsing:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to track interests or browsing, so ads fit you better.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to gather general visitor data and understand how you interact with Apex Dish. All data is collected in bulk, so nothing points specifically to you.
- Functional cookies: The essentials—these are needed for things like remembering your language or your choices about consent. Some site features won't run without them.
By being on Apex Dish, you’re agreeing to this use of cookies. You can adjust or clear cookies anytime from your browser settings—most give you control to delete, block, or get a warning before cookies show up. Just know, blocking cookies can change how Apex Dish and other websites work for you.
