This Privacy Policy describes how Kevin Barry Cook (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit kevinbarrycook.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect information in a few ways:

Information you give us. If you contact us, sign up for a newsletter, or submit a form, we collect the information you provide, such as your name and email address.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information about your device and browsing activity, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits.

Information from third parties. As described below, our advertising and analytics partners may collect information about you and associate it with information they or others already have about you, including your email address.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies to operate the Site, understand how it is used, and support marketing. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect how the Site works for you.

Third-Party Services We Use

Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) to understand how visitors use the Site. GA4 sets cookies and collects information such as your IP address (which is truncated/anonymized by Google before storage), device and browser details, pages viewed, session duration, and general location derived from your IP address. This information helps us measure traffic and improve the Site.

Google processes this data on our behalf. You can learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy and opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

Marketing Identification

When you visit or log in to our website, cookies and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with other personal information they or others have about you, including by association with your email. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with you
  • Send marketing and promotional messages (where permitted)
  • Measure and analyze traffic and engagement
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse
  • Comply with legal obligations

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information with:

  • Service providers (such as analytics, hosting, email, and marketing vendors) who process information on our behalf
  • Advertising and data partners as described in the Cookies and Third-Party Services sections above
  • Legal and safety recipients, where disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, property, or safety

Note that sharing information with advertising partners as described above may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under certain US state privacy laws.

EEA / UK residents. If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have rights under the GDPR including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. Our lawful bases for processing are your consent (for marketing and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (in operating and improving the Site), and compliance with legal obligations.
