General Introduction
Jolie Bites is a food recipe platform built around ease and a fun, relaxed approach. You won't find user accounts here, and we never gather your personal information directly. That means your details are never sold or handed over to anyone.
Even so, some info could be automatically picked up by third-party providers we use for features like site stats, customized ads, or embedded videos. We're laying out this privacy policy so you know exactly what happens, and how your information and privacy stay protected when you explore Jolie Bites.
Third-party services used
Jolie Bites relies on certain third-party services to deliver recipes at no cost, keep the site running smoothly, and offer content like embedded clips. These tools allow us to get insights into visitor activity, display ads for funding, and upgrade your experience. Here's a look at the main partners we work with:
- Google Analytics: This traffic analysis platform from Google helps us review anonymous usage details (like which pages people read or how long they hang out with us). With this, we get to know what recipes you love and find ways to make Jolie Bites even better. Cookies help Google Analytics track this, but Jolie Bites doesn't ever receive info that can identify you personally.
- Google AdSense: Google’s ad platform lets us show advertisements on Jolie Bites, helping finance the site while providing free recipe access for everyone. AdSense may set cookies on your device to show you ads based on your activity. Jolie Bites itself doesn’t ever get access to personal data that Google uses for ad customization. You can read more on Google’s own privacy page.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Powered by Cloudflare, this tool tracks website traffic and performance without identifying you or using personal cookies. It's mainly for spotting technical hiccups and ensuring Jolie Bites loads quickly and remains reliable. Information like IP addresses is only looked at as a group, never on the individual level.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed YouTube videos (owned by Google) with our recipes. Watching these on Jolie Bites could load YouTube/Google cookies for viewing stats or functions (like view counts). If you're signed in to Google, your history might be linked to your account, though Jolie Bites doesn't access any of that info. See YouTube/Google’s privacy policy for details.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files your device stores when you visit a website. At Jolie Bites, as well as through some third-party tools, we use cookies to make your journey smoother and more enjoyable:
- Essential cookies: These are needed to make Jolie Bites function, such as allowing your language preference or remembering your consent settings. Without them, some features may not work right.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics, they gather grouped info about visitor flow and activity. We rely on these insights to spot areas for improvement and make Jolie Bites even better.
- Ad cookies: Set by Google AdSense, these keep track of your browsing to serve ads that match your interests.
When you use Jolie Bites, you’re agreeing to these cookies as outlined here. You can control or remove cookies via your browser. Most browsers let you limit or delete cookies, or warn you before any cookie is set. Remember: turning off cookies could reduce how well Jolie Bites (and many other sites) work for you.
