Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

BBQ Dropout (“we”, “us”) runs the website bbqdropout.com. This page explains what information is collected when you visit, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. The short version: you can read everything here without an account, we don't sell your information, and the only thing we measure is how the site is used.

Information you give us

The site has no accounts, comments or sign-up forms. If you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address and whatever you write, and we use it only to reply to you.

Information collected automatically

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages they read. It sets cookies in your browser and collects information such as the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, your approximate location (country and city), and your device and browser type. Google processes this information on our behalf, and we see it only as combined statistics. We don't use it to identify you.

You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser settings. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

YouTube videos

Our guides include videos hosted on YouTube. Until you press play, the page loads only a preview image from YouTube's servers. When you press play, the YouTube player loads from YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube, which is owned by Google, may then collect information about your viewing under the Google Privacy Policy.

Hosting

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information needed to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, including your IP address. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Links to other sites

We link to other websites, including our pages on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we aren't responsible for how they handle your information.

Some links may be affiliate links. If you buy something after following one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and the retailer may use cookies to record that the visit came from us.

How we share information

We don't sell or rent personal information. It is shared only with the service providers named above (Google and Cloudflare) so the site can run and be measured, or when the law requires it.

How long information is kept

Analytics information is kept under the retention settings of our Google Analytics account. Emails you send us are kept for as long as needed to deal with your message.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to how it is used. To make a request, email [email protected]. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser at any time; the site works without them.

Children

This site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new “last updated” date.
