General Introduction
Ilem Bites focuses on making cooking easy and welcoming. We don’t require user registration and never collect your personal details directly. That means no selling or sharing of your personal info—ever.
Still, certain information might get picked up automatically through a few third-party tools we use. These help us make your browsing experience better, like tracking site stats, showing ads, or displaying embedded videos. In this privacy policy, we’ll clearly explain how these processes work, what gets collected, and how Ilem Bites protects your privacy every time you visit.
Third-party services used
To keep Ilem Bites running smoothly and to keep our recipes free, we rely on several outside services. These help us learn about how folks use the site, support our business through ads, and add features like videos. Here’s a look at the main services Ilem Bites partners with:
- Google Analytics: Google’s traffic-tracking platform collects site usage stats, such as which pages you visit or how long you hang around. This anonymous info helps us spot popular recipes and see what needs improvement. Google Analytics might use cookies to keep tabs on visits, but Ilem Bites never receives anything that can personally identify you.
- Google AdSense: This platform from Google displays ads on Ilem Bites. The ads help us cover our costs, so you keep getting recipes at no charge. AdSense may use cookies to tailor ads based on your activity. Ilem Bites isn’t given access to the personal details Google uses for these ads. To learn more, visit Google’s privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Provided by Cloudflare, this web analysis tool helps us monitor how well Ilem Bites runs, without cookies that track individual users. It helps us catch technical hiccups and ensures the site stays snappy and safe. Data Cloudflare gathers (like IP addresses or browsing patterns) is only considered on an aggregate level—it’s never linked to you personally.
- YouTube: Occasionally, you’ll find recipe videos hosted on YouTube (owned by Google) right on Ilem Bites. Watching these videos may let YouTube/Google set their own cookies to measure stats like view counts. If you’re signed into your Google account, YouTube could link your viewing to your profile, but we aren’t privy to any of this info. For more details, check YouTube’s privacy policy on Google’s site.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are little files saved on your device when visiting a site. Ilem Bites and our partners use cookies to make your experience better while you browse:
- Functional cookies: Absolutely essential for things like remembering your language settings or whether you’ve given consent. Without these, certain features just won’t work right.
- Analytics cookies: Both Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to gather basic info on site visitors. It’s non-personal and helps us fine-tune the content and performance of Ilem Bites.
- Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense to show ads personalized to your tastes. They keep tabs on your interests or history to make the ads more useful for you.
By using Ilem Bites, you’re okay with us using cookies as described. You can always adjust or remove cookies via your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete them, or get notified first. Just remember: turning off cookies could change how you use Ilem Bites or other sites.

This privacy policy isn’t set in stone. We may tweak it if our data practices change, we add new tools, or we need to meet new legal rules. If anything important changes, Ilem Bites will clearly mention it on our website—maybe right on the homepage or in a notification just for you.
