General Introduction
grilto is all about easygoing, uncomplicated recipes. We don't have accounts, meaning no direct collection or handling of your personal info. That means we're not sharing or selling any of it, either.
Still, it's important for us to clarify that some details might get picked up automatically by third-party tools we use, like for reporting traffic, ad personalization, or displaying videos. This privacy page is here to clearly explain these practices, showing you how we keep your data safe while you browse grilto.
Third-party services used
To keep grilto running smoothly and let you access free recipes, we rely on a few external tools. These help us analyze site use, stay funded through ads, and feature video content on our pages. Here's an overview of the main third-party services we rely on:
- YouTube: Sometimes you'll see recipe videos sourced from YouTube right on grilto. When you play one, YouTube/Google cookies might be set to track playback and gather stats like total views. If you're logged in on Google, those stats could be tied to your account, but grilto doesn't get any of those details. Want more info? Check out Google's official privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare supplies us with traffic and site performance analysis. It helps us spot issues and keep things speedy—no cookies that tag you personally. The information Cloudflare collects (including IP addresses and browsing stuff) is grouped together and never linked to individual users.
- Google AdSense: Thanks to Google's ads platform, grilto shows ads that support our free content. AdSense might use cookies to help show ads tailored to your browsing habits. Everything stays with Google—we can't see, access, or use your personal data for advertising. To dig deeper, refer to Google's privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: Google's analytics tool gives us a big-picture look at grilto traffic with fully anonymous data (like what pages get visited or how long folks stick around). This helps us figure out what recipes people love and make improvements. Google Analytics uses cookies to track this; grilto doesn't handle any personally identifying info.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files your device saves during visits to grilto. These, along with those from our third-party helpers, make your browsing smoother:
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense puts these to work, aiming to show ads that match what you're into based on what you browse.
- Analytics cookies: Both Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics have cookies to grab overall site and usage stats. Nothing is tracked individually, but it does help grilto improve performance and the recipes you see.
- Functional cookies: The basics—these cookies keep grilto working right (like remembering language settings or your consent). Without them, some features might break or not appear for you.
Browsing grilto means you're okay with these cookie uses. You're always able to set, block, or clear them through your browser. Most browsers give you those controls or warnings before any cookie lands. If you block cookies, just know your experience with grilto (and other sites) could change.
