General Introduction
Rapid Skillet is all about sharing straightforward recipes and a relaxed cooking vibe. You won’t find user accounts here, and Rapid Skillet doesn’t directly collect your personal info. That means we don’t sell or trade any details about you, ever.
However, you should know that some data might get picked up automatically by outside partners that help us enhance your visit (like traffic insights, personalized ads, or embedded videos). This privacy notice is here to explain what’s collected by these third parties and how Rapid Skillet safeguards your browsing and privacy while you explore our site.
Third-party services used
To keep Rapid Skillet running smoothly and to keep our recipes free, we rely on a few trusted third-party services. These partners give us useful feedback on how folks use the site, keep content accessible with ads, and spice up pages with videos. Here are the main third-party platforms we work with:
- Cloudflare Analytics: This service from Cloudflare tracks our website performance and visitor volume without using personal data or tracking you individually. It helps Rapid Skillet spot technical issues so the website stays quick and secure. Cloudflare collects group-based stats like IP addresses or general browsing info, but never to single you out.
- YouTube: Sometimes, Rapid Skillet shares recipe videos that play right from our pages through YouTube (part of Google). If you watch these videos on Rapid Skillet, YouTube or Google could set cookies to keep track of views and playback stats. If you’re signed in with Google, YouTube might add it to your profile. Rapid Skillet never gets to see this personal data. For more on what YouTube collects, check their own privacy information.
- Google AdSense: This advertising platform by Google lets us show ads so Rapid Skillet can remain a free resource. AdSense often tailors ads based on your browsing using cookies. Still, Rapid Skillet doesn't see or handle any personal data Google uses for these ads. Read more details in Google’s privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Google’s analytics tool gives us big-picture info about site usage (like pages visited or how long visitors stick around). This helps Rapid Skillet spot which recipes are favorites and where we can do better. Google Analytics uses cookies, but Rapid Skillet never gets access to anything that identifies you personally.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files saved on your web device when you visit Rapid Skillet. Both Rapid Skillet and our third-party partners use these cookies to make your time here smoother:
- Analytics cookies: Rapid Skillet uses these, along with services like Cloudflare Analytics and Google Analytics, to understand how people interact across the site. Everything remains anonymous and simply helps us upgrade our recipes and site experience.
- Functional cookies: Rapid Skillet relies on these basics so the website operates right—like remembering what language you picked or saving your cookie consent. Skip them, and certain site options might not cooperate.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these bits to show you more relevant ads while you’re here, based on your activity or interests.
Using Rapid Skillet means you’re okay with our cookie approach above. You’re in control—your browser lets you limit, block, or erase cookies anytime, or even alert you before they're set. Just remember, disabling cookies could change how Rapid Skillet works for you or impact other websites too.
Changes to this policy
Rapid Skillet might tweak this privacy notice from time to time. Updates could happen if our practices shift, if we partner with new services, or anytime legal or policy changes call for it. If something major changes, you’ll spot a clear heads-up on rapidskillet.com—maybe a homepage alert or an announcement just for this purpose.
Whenever you want, you can check right at the top of this page for the latest update date. Rapid Skillet encourages you to stop by this page now and then so you’re always in the loop on how your privacy is handled.
