1. Introduction

Welcome to SonicMenu.com.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how cookies and similar technologies may be used on our website, and what options visitors may have for managing them.

SonicMenu.com is an independent informational website that provides menu-related information about Sonic Drive-In, including food items, drinks, estimated prices, nutrition information, and related dining topics.

We aim to explain our website technologies transparently so visitors can make informed decisions about their privacy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store in your browser or on your device when you visit a page. They can help websites remember certain information, recognize a browser, maintain settings, and support website functionality.

Cookies may be classified by how long they remain on a device:

  • Session cookies: These are generally removed when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: These may remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

Cookies may also be classified according to who sets them:

  • First-party cookies: These are set by the website you are visiting.
  • Third-party cookies: These are set by external services or providers whose technologies are used on a website.

The exact cookies used on SonicMenu.com depend on the website’s current features, settings, and third-party services.

3. Why We May Use Cookies

Depending on the features enabled on SonicMenu.com, cookies and similar technologies may be used for the following purposes.

3.1 Essential Website Functionality

Some technologies may be necessary to help the website operate properly, maintain security, prevent abuse, or support essential technical functions.

Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent. Other technologies may require consent, depending on their purpose and the relevant legal requirements.

3.2 Website Preferences

Certain technologies may help remember choices or settings, such as a visitor’s preferences or consent selections, where those features are available.

These technologies can help provide a more consistent experience when visitors return to the website.

3.3 Analytics and Performance

If analytics tools are enabled, they may use cookies or similar technologies to help us understand how visitors interact with our pages.

Analytics information may include page visits, general traffic patterns, browser or device information, and interactions with website content. This information can help us identify technical issues and improve the usefulness of our website.

We will describe analytics practices in accordance with the tools actually used on the website and applicable privacy requirements.

3.4 Advertising

If advertising services such as Google AdSense are enabled, cookies or similar technologies may be used to deliver advertisements, limit repeated displays, measure advertising performance, detect invalid activity, or personalize advertisements where permitted.

The specific technologies and purposes depend on the advertising provider, the visitor’s location, consent choices, and applicable settings.

3.5 Security and Fraud Prevention

Some website or third-party technologies may help identify suspicious activity, protect website services, and reduce misuse or fraudulent interactions.

The technologies used for these purposes depend on the services implemented on the website.

4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

SonicMenu.com may use Google AdSense or other third-party advertising services to support website operations, if these services are enabled.

Third-party providers may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to display and measure advertisements. Depending on the service and applicable settings, these technologies may support personalized or non-personalized advertising.

Personalized advertising may use permitted information about a visitor’s interests or previous activity. Non-personalized advertising may rely more heavily on contextual information, such as the page being viewed, although certain technologies may still be used for functions such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention.

Visitors can find additional information about Google’s practices through the following resources:

Third-party providers may change their technologies, policies, and available controls over time. We encourage visitors to review the relevant provider information for the latest details.

This section describes potential advertising practices. It should not be interpreted as a claim that Google AdSense is currently active unless it has actually been implemented on SonicMenu.com.

5. Consent and Cookie Preferences

Depending on your location and the technologies used, applicable law may require us to obtain consent before placing or accessing certain cookies or using similar technologies.

Where required, we aim to provide an appropriate consent mechanism that explains the relevant purposes and allows visitors to make the choices available under applicable law.

Depending on the consent tool and legal requirements, available options may include accepting, rejecting, or customizing non-essential cookies. Visitors should be able to review or change their choices where required and where the website’s consent tool supports those controls.

Essential technologies may be treated differently from analytics or advertising technologies under applicable law.

Important: This policy alone does not collect consent, block cookies, or change browser behavior. Any required cookie banner, consent-management platform, or consent-recording mechanism must be implemented and configured separately.

6. How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser

Most modern browsers allow visitors to view, block, restrict, or delete cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

  • Delete existing cookies.
  • Block cookies from particular websites.
  • Restrict third-party cookies.
  • Configure notifications when cookies are set.
  • Clear browsing data when closing the browser.

The exact steps vary by browser version and device. Consult your browser’s official help documentation for instructions.

Please be aware that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect website functionality, saved preferences, or other features.

Browser controls may not automatically withdraw consent already recorded by a website’s consent-management platform. Where applicable, use the website’s own consent or privacy controls as well.

7. Managing Advertising Preferences

If third-party advertising services are used, visitors may have additional options for managing advertising preferences through the relevant provider.

For Google services, visitors can explore the Google My Ad Center at:

https://myadcenter.google.com

The available controls may depend on factors such as account status, location, browser settings, and the type of advertisement being displayed.

Changing advertising preferences does not necessarily eliminate all advertisements. It may instead affect how advertisements are selected or personalized.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services

SonicMenu.com may link to external websites or use third-party services to support certain features.

Those external websites and providers may use their own cookies and similar technologies under their respective policies. We do not control all third-party technologies or their privacy practices.

Following an external link or interacting with a third-party service may be subject to that provider’s terms, privacy policy, and cookie practices.

We encourage visitors to review the relevant third-party policies before using external services.

9. Personal Information and Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may collect or relate to information such as browser identifiers, device information, website activity, preferences, or approximate location, depending on the technology involved.

Whether this information constitutes personal information under applicable law depends on the circumstances and relevant legal definitions.

Our collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information are explained in our Privacy Policy. Where required, we will provide relevant disclosures and obtain consent for applicable processing activities.

We aim to use website technologies in a manner consistent with applicable privacy requirements and the actual services implemented on SonicMenu.com.

10. Data Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary depending on the purpose of the technology and the provider that sets it.

Session cookies generally expire when the browser session ends, while persistent cookies may remain until a set expiration date or until they are deleted.

Third-party providers may apply their own retention periods. We do not control every retention period used by external services.

For information about the retention of personal information more generally, please consult our Privacy Policy.

11. Children’s Privacy

SonicMenu.com is a general informational website and is not specifically directed toward children under the age applicable under relevant privacy laws.

Where cookies or advertising technologies are used, their implementation should comply with applicable requirements relating to children’s privacy and advertising.

If we become aware that a technology or data practice requires review under applicable children’s privacy laws, we will consider appropriate steps based on the circumstances.

12. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website features, technology providers, advertising practices, or legal obligations change.

Any updates will be published on this page, and the Effective Date will be revised accordingly.

We encourage visitors to review this policy periodically so they can remain informed about how cookies and similar technologies may be used.
