General Introduction
Pixel Forks is a cooking recipe platform that keeps things simple and friendly. We don’t use user accounts, and we’ll never directly collect your private data. That means we won’t sell, share, or give out your personal details to anyone.
Still, we want you to know how some third-party tools might automatically gather certain info to help us boost your experience—for instance, for site stats, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy policy lays out exactly what’s collected, why, and how Pixel Forks keeps your data and privacy protected while you browse around pixelforks.com.
Third-party services used
To keep Pixel Forks running smoothly—and to continue offering free recipes—we rely on a few outside tools. These help us understand how folks use our site, fund the platform with ads, and add video content to our pages. Here are the primary third-party services we use:
- YouTube: Some recipes on Pixel Forks include video guides from YouTube (which belongs to Google). If you play a video on pixelforks.com, YouTube/Google might use cookies to monitor views and playback stats (like how many times a video’s watched). If you're signed in to Google, YouTube could link this with your profile, but Pixel Forks doesn’t see any of this data. For more info, check out YouTube/Google’s privacy guidelines.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare gives us web traffic info, helping us check site speed and reliability. It doesn’t rely on cookies that identify you personally, and any details Cloudflare gathers (like device info or IP addresses) are aggregated and never used to single you out.
- Google AdSense: Ads on Pixel Forks run thanks to Google’s AdSense network. These ads help us offer our recipes for free. AdSense might use cookies to show you ads that match your interests and previous visits. Pixel Forks doesn’t see the personal data Google uses for ad targeting. If you want more details, you can review Google’s privacy policy.
- Google Analytics: This is Google’s audience tracking tool. It gathers general (anonymous) stats on site visits, page popularity, and time spent browsing. With Google Analytics, we can see which recipes get the most views and look for ways to improve pixelforks.com. Details are tracked via cookies, but we never receive anything that could personally identify you.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny text files your device accepts when you check out a website. Pixel Forks and our partners use them to make your visit better:

- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense cookies help us display ads based on your interests or browsing habits. That means you’ll probably see more relevant ads.
- Functional cookies: These keep the site’s basic features working, like remembering language settings or your cookie consent. Without them, some things may not work right.
