Privacy Policy
What Olive Garden Menu collects (no accounts, no advertising, no analytics) and what happens to your approximate location.
Last updated: 22 July 2026
Olive Garden Menu ("the site") is published by EasyMenue. This policy explains what the site does with information about you. It is short because the site does very little.
The short version
- There are no visitor accounts, no sign-up, no newsletter and no contact form.
- We run no advertising, no analytics, no tracking pixels and no third-party social widgets.
- We never sell or share personal information, and we do not build a profile of you or track you across other websites.
- One cookie is set, and only after you choose a restaurant yourself.
What the site processes
Your choice of restaurant
When you pick a restaurant, we store its short name in a first-party cookie so your prices are right on the next page. That is the entire contents of the cookie: no identifier, nothing about you. Details are in the cookie policy.
Your approximate location
Prices are per-restaurant, so if you have not chosen one, the site tries to guess the nearest. It uses, in order: your explicit choice (which is never overridden), approximate coordinates supplied by our content delivery network, or, where configured, a third-party IP-geolocation service. If none of those answers, the site simply shows prices for all restaurants.
Where an IP lookup is used, the result is cached for 24 hours in a file named after a one-way SHA-256 hash of the address. Your IP address itself is not written to that cache and is not stored in our database, and the cached record holds only an approximate city and coordinates. The guess is accurate to roughly a city, never to an address.
Server logs
Our hosting provider keeps standard web-server logs (IP address, timestamp, page requested, browser user-agent) as a normal part of serving and securing the site. We do not combine these logs with anything else or use them to identify visitors.
Administrator sign-in
The site has a private editor area for our own staff. It uses a session cookie and is not available to visitors.
Why we are allowed to do this
Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies: the restaurant cookie is set on your own explicit instruction and is necessary to deliver what you asked for; location estimation and server logging rest on our legitimate interest in showing correct local prices and in keeping the site running securely. We do not rely on consent for advertising or analytics, because we do neither.
Who else is involved
We do not sell, rent or share personal information. Information necessarily passes through our web host and our content delivery network, and, only if IP lookup is enabled, an IP-geolocation provider, which receives the visiting IP address for that lookup alone.
How long anything is kept
- Restaurant cookie: one year, or until you clear it or switch back to "all restaurants".
- Cached location guess: 24 hours, then overwritten or deleted.
- Server logs: retained by our hosting provider under their own schedule.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal information, and to complain to your data protection authority. Write to admin@easymenue.com and we will act on it.
In practice we hold almost nothing that identifies you, so we will usually be unable to locate any record tied to you. The honest answer to an access request here is normally "we hold nothing", and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
California residents
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are used in the CCPA/CPRA. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for any purpose requiring a right to limit.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
The site does not track visitors across other websites, so there is no cross-site tracking for these signals to switch off.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes materially we will update the date at the top. Questions: admin@easymenue.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Olive Garden Menu use cookies to track visitors?
No advertising, analytics or tracking cookies are set at all. The only cookie a visitor can receive stores the short name of the restaurant you choose, so your prices are correct on the next page; it contains no identifier and nothing else about you. Details are in the cookie policy.
Does this site sell or share my personal information?
No. We never sell or share personal information and do not build a profile of visitors or track them across other websites. There are no visitor accounts, no sign-up and no advertising, so there is essentially nothing about an individual visitor for us to sell.
How does the site know which Olive Garden restaurant is near me?
In order, it uses your explicit choice (never overridden once made), an approximate location from the content delivery network, or, where configured, a third-party IP-based lookup accurate to roughly a city, never an address. Your IP address itself is not stored in our database; a cached lookup keeps only a one-way hash.
How long is my chosen restaurant remembered?
The restaurant cookie lasts one year, or until you clear it or switch back to "all restaurants", which deletes it immediately. A cached location guess (used only when you have not chosen a restaurant) is kept for 24 hours and then overwritten or deleted.
What privacy rights do I have under GDPR or CCPA on this site?
You may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to processing of your personal information, and Olive Garden Menu does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising under the CCPA/CPRA. Write to admin@easymenue.com; in practice we usually hold no record tied to any individual visitor, and we say so rather than pretend otherwise.
