General Introduction
Simple Afer is your go-to spot for easy recipes and friendly sharing. You don’t need to create an account, and we never ask for your personal info. We don’t sell or exchange any details about you, period.
Still, we want you to know that certain usage data might get collected automatically by some third-party tools we rely on. That can include things like analytics, ads, or embedded media. This privacy policy is here to explain—in plain English—how this works and how Simple Afer keeps your info safe whenever you visit.
Third-party services used
To keep Simple Afer running smoothly and give you free access to our recipes, we use different third-party tools. These partners help us track site performance, show advertisements, and enrich our pages with things like videos. Here’s a rundown of the main ones we partner with:
- YouTube: From time to time, you’ll find videos on our pages hosted by YouTube. These videos help bring recipes to life. If you press play, YouTube (owned by Google) uses cookies for tracking and video stats. If you’re signed in to Google, YouTube might tie your activity to your account, but Simple Afer never sees this information.
- Cloudflare Analytics: We use Cloudflare to track site performance and visitor traffic without relying on cookies that point to you personally. This helps us spot technical glitches and keep things fast and safe. Cloudflare collects general data like IP addresses and browsing info, but it’s always grouped together and not linked to you specifically.
- Google AdSense: Simple Afer displays ads through Google’s AdSense network. These ads help fund our content by showing you relevant advertising, sometimes informed by your browsing habits. Google’s cookies power this, but Simple Afer doesn’t access the personal data that Google relies on for ad targeting. For details, check out Google’s privacy documentation.
- Google Analytics: With Google Analytics, we check things like page popularity and how people interact with our recipes. Data is anonymous and helps us make improvements where needed. Cookies help Google gather this data, but none of it is personally tied back to you. Simple Afer can’t see who you are.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device while you browse. At Simple Afer, along with our partners, we use cookies to make things easier and smarter:
- Advertising cookies: Powered by Google AdSense, they record your browsing interests to deliver ads more in line with what you like.
- Analytics cookies: These are used by tools like Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to help us see site trends and how people use Simple Afer. We look at this combined info to improve your experience and overall site quality.
- Functional cookies: These basics make sure Simple Afer works as it should—like knowing your language preferences or if you’ve set certain consent options. Some features just won’t work without them.
By using Simple Afer, you agree to the way we use cookies as laid out here. You can change or remove cookies in your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you block, delete, or get notifications before a cookie is stored. Just remember: if you turn off cookies, certain features on Simple Afer and other sites might not work as intended.
Changes to this policy
Occasionally, Simple Afer may update this privacy policy. That can happen when we tweak our practices, launch new features, or need to match up with new rules and laws. If a major update comes out, you’ll see an announcement right on our homepage or through a special notice.
Check the top of this policy for the latest update date. We recommend revisiting this page every so often to stay in the loop about how we handle your privacy.
