General Introduction
Turbo Plates is all about easy, friendly recipe inspiration. We never require accounts, and we don't gather your personal details directly. There's no selling or sharing of your info—ever.
Still, it's important to know some details might be collected automatically by external services we work with to make browsing better for you, like traffic measurement, ads, or embedded videos. This privacy notice breaks down what data may be picked up automatically, how we use those services, and the steps Turbo Plates takes to protect your privacy when you explore turboplates.com.
Third-party services used
To keep Turbo Plates running smoothly and to keep all the recipes free, we rely on several outside providers. These allow us to fund the site with ads, enhance the pages with video features, and see how people use turboplates.com. Here are some of the main third-party tools we use:
- Google Analytics: This Google-powered tool anonymously tracks things like page views and time spent. It gives us insight into which recipes people love and where the site can improve. Analytics may use cookies, but Turbo Plates never receives anything that reveals who you are.
- Google AdSense: AdSense, from Google, manages all the adverts shown on turboplates.com. Ads help us keep content free for you. Cookies may be used to display ads tailored to your interests, but Turbo Plates can't access any private ad data. For further info, check out Google’s privacy page.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Run by Cloudflare, this tool works without cookies that would recognize visitors individually. It gives us aggregated data, like IP addresses and general browsing patterns, which helps us spot performance hiccups or security issues. Nothing collected here is used to single anyone out.
- YouTube: Some recipe pages may have embedded videos from YouTube (run by Google). Watching one puts YouTube/Google cookies on your browser for video statistics (like view counts). If you’re logged into your Google profile, YouTube could link your views, but Turbo Plates never sees any of that info. Learn more by reading YouTube’s or Google’s privacy policy.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. Turbo Plates and our third-party partners use cookies to give you the best experience:
- Functional cookies: These are needed to keep turboplates.com working as it should (like saving your language or cookie choices). If you block them, certain site options might not work right.
- Analytics cookies: Used by services like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to understand traffic and usage patterns. The data helps Turbo Plates see how visitors move around the site to improve both recipes and overall performance. All info gets bundled up and isn’t tied to you.
- Advertising cookies: Used with Google AdSense to offer you tailored adverts. They pay attention to your interests or browsing to bring you ads that matter more to you.
By using turboplates.com, you’re okay with how we use cookies as explained here. You can set your browser to clear or block cookies, or get alerts before a cookie is saved. Keep in mind that turning off cookies could affect your experience on Turbo Plates and elsewhere.
