How we use your data
We use the data we collect exclusively for the following purposes:
Running and improving the site. Analytics data helps us understand which drink guides are most popular, which pages load slowly, and where visitors drop off. This directly informs what content we write and fix next.
Responding to contact form submissions. When you message us, we use your name and email only to reply. We do not add you to any mailing list, newsletter, or marketing system unless you explicitly request it.
Spam and abuse prevention. Server logs including IP addresses may be used to identify and block automated abuse, spam form submissions, and malicious traffic.
Displaying advertising. If we display third-party ads, the ad network may use cookie data to show you relevant advertisements. See the Advertising section below.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making, profiling, or any purpose not listed above. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party.
Cookies and tracking
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use the following categories of cookies:
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the site function. For a full list of cookies we use, see our Cookie Policy.
Third-party services
We use a small number of third-party services to operate this site. Each has access only to the data necessary for their function and is bound by their own privacy policies:
Google Analytics
Provides website traffic and usage analytics. Data is processed by Google and subject to Google's Privacy Policy. We have enabled IP anonymization in our Analytics configuration.
Hosting provider
Our web hosting provider processes server requests and may log IP addresses for security and performance purposes. These logs are retained according to the host's standard data retention policy.
Contact form processor
Messages submitted through our contact form are processed by a third-party form service (such as Formspree or Netlify Forms). Your name, email, and message are transmitted to that service to deliver your message to us. Please review their privacy policy for details on how they handle submitted data.
Fonts
We load web fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests a font file, Google may log your IP address. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
We do not use Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or any other social media tracking tools on this site.

This site may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks. If we use Google AdSense, Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.
In accordance with FTC guidelines, sponsored content and affiliate links on this site are disclosed clearly at the point of use. Advertising relationships do not influence our editorial content or menu information.
We comply with the Google AdSense program policies, including the requirement to disclose the use of cookies for advertising in this privacy policy.

Children's privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Our content — menu information for a coffee chain — is intended for general audiences and parents researching kids menu options.
If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.
Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect the data we hold, including HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our site, limited access to contact form data, and use of reputable third-party services with their own security practices.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we work to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal data, we will notify affected individuals as required by applicable law.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the services we use, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
For significant changes — such as a new advertising relationship or a new data collection practice — we will make reasonable efforts to notify visitors, such as by placing a notice on the homepage for a period after the change.
Continued use of this website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated privacy policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
