General Introduction
Fordish is your go-to destination for simple, friendly recipes. We don't require you to set up an account, and we never gather personal details from you directly. That means your data isn't shared or sold, period.
Still, we think it's important for you to know that some info gets collected automatically by outside providers we use. This helps us personalize your experience—like keeping track of site visits, showing relevant ads, or hosting videos. Below, we'll break down exactly how your privacy is protected with Fordish and what info may be gathered behind the scenes.
Third-party services used
To keep Fordish running smoothly and to offer you all our recipes free of charge, we rely on several third-party platforms. These help us learn how visitors use the site, show tailored ads to help fund content, and include videos. Here’s a look at the main services Fordish works with:
- Google Analytics: This is an audience measurement tool from Google that tracks things like which pages folks visit and how long they stick around. Using cookies, Google Analytics collects anonymous traffic stats, which help Fordish improve and highlight the recipes people love. No data is ever collected that could directly identify you.
- Google AdSense: Ads shown on Fordish are powered by Google’s AdSense platform. These ads help support the site financially while keeping everything free for you. AdSense may use cookies to show ads based on your activity on Fordish. Fordish doesn't have access to any personal details used for customizing ads. If you're interested, you can review the privacy policy from Google for more details.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Fordish uses Cloudflare for traffic and performance monitoring. Cloudflare gives us aggregated insights, like IP addresses or browsing data, but it doesn’t use cookies that track you individually. This info helps Fordish fix technical problems and keeps things running quickly and securely.
- YouTube: Sometimes, Fordish embeds recipe videos hosted on YouTube (owned by Google). Watching a video here might set YouTube or Google cookies, which track video plays or viewing stats. If you're logged into Google, YouTube can link your views to your account, but Fordish never sees or accesses this data. For details, you can check out the privacy policy from Google/YouTube.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files that get saved to your device when you visit Fordish. Both Fordish and our external partners use cookies to make your experience better:

- Analytics cookies: Fordish uses Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to gather data on site traffic. Everything’s anonymous and grouped together, so it helps us see how people use Fordish and allows us to fine-tune both content and site speed.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to show you relevant ads based on what you’re interested in or your browsing history.
By browsing Fordish, you're agreeing to our cookie usage as explained here. You can manage or erase cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers give you options to block or remove cookies, or warn you before any get added. Just keep in mind that disabling cookies may change how Fordish and other sites work for you.
