Overview
Mellie Recipes is a recipe website that emphasizes a simple and welcoming approach. We don’t rely on user accounts, and no personal details are gathered directly from visitors. As a result, none of this data is sold or shared anywhere.
Still, some data might be collected automatically through third-party tools we utilize. This includes tools for analytics, personalized ads, or embedded videos. This privacy policy aims to clearly explain these processes while demonstrating how Mellie Recipes ensures that your privacy is well-protected during your visits.
External Tools We Utilize
Mellie Recipes integrates third-party services to keep our site running smoothly and to ensure our content remains free for visitors. These tools help us analyze user activity, fund our site through ads, and enrich your experience with embedded videos. Here’s a breakdown of the primary ones we use:
