General Overview
Quick Lish is a recipe website that focuses on convenience and user friendliness. We don't use user accounts or gather personal information directly. As a result, we don't sell or share any of your personal information.
That said, we want to explain how data may be automatically collected through third-party tools we employ to improve your experience (such as traffic stats, relevant advertisements, and embedded videos). This privacy document aims to inform you openly and clearly about these processes and how we protect both your data and privacy when you're browsing Quick Lish.
Third-Party Tools We Use
To ensure the smooth operation of Quick Lish and keep offering free recipes, we rely on services from outside providers. These tools help us understand how you interact with the site, fund our content through ads, and enhance the pages with video materials. Below are the main third-party services we utilize:
- Google Analytics: Analytics platform by Google that gathers anonymous data like site visits and time spent on pages. It helps us discover which recipes are most viewed and how to improve. Google Analytics may place cookies to track data, but Quick Lish doesn't collect anything to identify you personally.
- Google AdSense: Ad platform run by Google, displaying advertisements on our site. These ads support us financially so we can continue providing free recipes. AdSense may use cookies to show ads tailored to your browsing behavior. Quick Lish has no access to the personal data Google utilizes for ad targeting. Check Google's privacy policy for details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare provides a web analytics service that lets us monitor site performance and traffic without cookies identifying individuals. These insights help us spot technical issues and ensure Quick Lish remains fast and safe. Cloudflare aggregates data like IP addresses and browsing behavior without personal identification.
- YouTube: Occasionally, Quick Lish embeds cooking videos hosted on YouTube, a Google-owned platform. When you watch videos, YouTube/Google may use cookies to track views and collect stats like the number of plays. If you're signed in to Google, YouTube might associate your viewing data with your account, but Quick Lish can't access this info. For more, see YouTube/Google's privacy policy.

- Analytics cookies: Tools like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these cookies to collect aggregated data about how visitors use Quick Lish. This helps us refine and enhance the site's performance.
