General Introduction
Skillet Index is all about simple, friendly recipes. There are no user logins, and your personal details aren't collected here. So, we don't share or sell any of your info.
Even so, we want to let you know about some data that could be gathered through third-party partners we use for things like site stats, showing you ads, or embedding videos. This privacy policy breaks down how these tools work and how Skillet Index keeps your data safe while you browse.
Third-party services used
Skillet Index uses several external services to keep things running smoothly and keep recipes free for you. These help us understand how people use the site, show ads that support us, and host video content. Here's a quick look at the main tools we work with:
- YouTube: We may include recipe videos from YouTube (which belongs to Google). When you hit play on a YouTube video here, YouTube or Google might add cookies to collect details about the views and playback stats. If you're signed into Google, YouTube could link your watching to your own Google profile, but Skillet Index has no access to this information. For more details, check YouTube/Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us track site performance and traffic without using cookies that identify who you are. The data—like IP addresses and browsing stats—is combined with other info and isn't tied to you as an individual. This allows us to find bugs fast and keep the site secure and speedy.
- Google AdSense: This is how ads show up on Skillet Index. AdSense may save cookies to help deliver ads that fit your interests. While ads help us keep everything free, we don't use or have access to any data from Google that personally identifies you. You can find more on this in Google's privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics, offered by Google, helps us understand audience trends, like popular recipes or how long folks stay on a page. It collects data in an anonymous, aggregated way and may use cookies for this. Skillet Index never gets details that could identify you directly.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are just tiny text files stored on your device when you use a website. Skillet Index and some of our partners use cookies to improve your visit:
- Functional cookies: These are core for the site to work right—think saving your language or privacy choices. If you block them, parts of Skillet Index might not function as they should.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense sets these up so ads match your interests and browsing style.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics rely on these to understand how people use Skillet Index—what folks click on, how fast pages load, and more. The data gets mashed together and doesn't single anyone out.
By hanging out on Skillet Index, you agree to our cookie use as outlined here. You can adjust your cookie settings or remove them in your browser anytime. Most browsers let you delete or block cookies, or get notified before they're set. Just remember, disabling cookies may change how Skillet Index—and other sites—work for you.
Changes to this policy
Sometimes we'll change this privacy policy. If we tweak how we do things, add new partners, or need to stay compliant with regulations, we'll update this page right away. If anything major comes up, you'll see a notice on our site—maybe a homepage banner or a special alert.
The last update date up top tells you when we made changes. It's a good idea to check back now and then to stay in the loop about how Skillet Index looks after your privacy.
