General Introduction
Metro Chop is all about easy, friendly cooking. No account sign-ups here! We don’t ask for your personal info directly, so there's nothing for us to sell or give away.
Still, we want you to know how some info may be automatically picked up by services that help us run things better (like analytics tools, personalized ads, or embedded videos). This privacy policy is here to break down those details simply. We'll explain what happens and how Metro Chop keeps your privacy, so you can feel secure browsing metrochop.com.
Third-party services used
To keep Metro Chop running smoothly and free, we rely on a handful of outside services. They help us understand visitors, fund our content with ads, and include cool video enhancements. Here are the main third-party tools featured here:
- Google Analytics: Google’s site stats tool gives us general info on metrochop.com traffic (like time on page or views per recipe). It might use cookies to pull these anonymous details. Metro Chop never learns who you are personally.
- Google AdSense: This ad service puts ads on metrochop.com, helping keep our recipes free. AdSense cookies might use your browsing to show you ads that fit your interests, but Metro Chop doesn’t get to see any personal data that Google handles for customizing ads. You can find out more in Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare Analytics: Cloudflare helps us track site performance and keep everything fast—no identifying cookies involved. Data like your IP and navigation gets combined with everyone else’s, so Metro Chop can't recognize any individual users.
- YouTube: Occasionally, we embed videos from YouTube (a Google platform) to spice up recipes. When you play a video on metrochop.com, YouTube/Google cookies might log views and playback info. If you’re signed in on Google, YouTube could connect your viewing with your account, but Metro Chop can’t see or access this data. Check YouTube or Google’s privacy policy for more info.
Cookies and consent
Cookies are tiny files that get saved to your device when you visit a site. On metrochop.com, Metro Chop and our partners use cookies to make your experience better:
- Functional cookies: Super important for the site to work (like remembering your language or what you consented to). If these are missing, some features just won't happen.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics use these to learn how people use Metro Chop. It’s all bundled up so we can spot trends and improve the site—nothing is tied directly to you.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses these to match ads to your interests or past browsing, aiming to give you ads that make sense for you.
By hanging out on Metro Chop, you’re agreeing to these cookies. If you want, you can change how your browser handles cookies—most let you block, delete, or get alerts before cookies sit on your device. Just know that refusing cookies could change how metrochop.com and other sites behave for you.
