Cookout Menu Blog (“we”, “our”, “us”) is an independent, unofficial guide to the Cook Out restaurant chain, published for general information and reference purposes only.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you give us directly. If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we receive whatever you send — typically your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
We use this only to respond to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records basic technical data when you visit: your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you visit, and the time and duration of your visit.
This is standard server-log data used for security and to understand how the site is used.
Comments. If commenting is enabled on any page, comments you submit (including any name, email address, and website you provide) are stored so the comment can be displayed.
Comment cookies may remember your details for convenience.
How we use your information
- To respond to your questions, correction reports, and feedback
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website
- To analyse aggregated, anonymous usage trends
- To protect the site against spam, abuse, and security threats
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
Cookies
We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. In short: strictly necessary cookies keep the site working; preference cookies remember choices such as cookie consent; Google Analytics sets analytics cookies to help us understand anonymous usage trends; and Google AdSense sets advertising cookies to show ads and measure their performance.
You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Privacy Policy: Third-Party Services
Our web host processes technical data on our behalf in order to serve the site. We also use:
- Google Analytics, which collects anonymous usage information (pages visited, time on site, approximate location, device and browser data) to help us understand which content is useful.
Google’s use of this data is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and the Google Analytics Terms of Service. You can opt out entirely with the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
- Google AdSense, which displays advertising on the Site. Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites, and to measure ad performance.
You can manage ad personalisation through Google Ad Settings. Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Data retention
We keep contact correspondence only as long as needed to handle your request. Server logs are retained according to our hosting provider’s standard schedule.
Where you have asked us to delete information you provided, we will do so unless we are required to keep it for legal reasons.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and to object to certain processing.
To make a request, email us at info@uscookoutmenu.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Children’s privacy
This website is a general-audience restaurant guide. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at info@uscookoutmenu.com and we will delete it.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent revision, and continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
