Cookie Policy — last updated September 23, 2026.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Cookout Menu Blog uses, and how you can manage them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use a site.
Cookies can be grouped by how long they stay on your device. Session cookies are temporary and are removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a fixed period or until you delete them. Some cookies are essential for a page to load correctly, while others are used for convenience or measurement.
Cookies can also be grouped by who sets them. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by another company whose content or services appear on the page.
Cookie Policy: Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the Site to function (for example, remembering your cookie-consent choice and keeping the site secure). These cannot be disabled without affecting how the site works.
They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences. These cookies do not store information that identifies you personally.
Preference cookies. Remember choices you make, such as dismissing notices. These are set only in response to your actions.
They can make repeat visits more convenient by keeping choices you have already made. If you clear these cookies, you may need to set your preferences again on your next visit.
Analytics cookies. We use Google Analytics, which sets cookies that collect anonymous usage information (pages visited, time on site, approximate location, device and browser data) to help us understand which content readers find useful. You can opt out of Google Analytics entirely with the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
Analytics cookies generally collect information in an aggregated form, so they do not identify individual visitors. They help site owners understand which pages are popular and how readers move through a site.
Advertising cookies. We display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to show you relevant ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance. You can manage ad personalisation through Google Ad Settings.
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.
Learn how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites.
Embedded content. Some pages may include embedded content (for example, maps or videos). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the originating website directly and may set its own cookies under that site’s policy.
Because embedded content comes from another website, that site may set its own cookies according to its own policy. This can happen even if you do not click or interact with the embedded item.
How to manage cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings — every major browser lets you block or clear cookies, usually under Settings or Preferences. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the Site works.
Many browsers also let you block third-party cookies while allowing first-party cookies. You can usually choose to clear cookies automatically when you close your browser. Each browser also offers help pages that explain where its cookie controls are located.
We do not currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for doing so.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly if we add analytics, advertising, or other cookie-setting services. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
