About Costa Coffee Menu UK
Costa Coffee Menu UK is an independent website for visitors in the United Kingdom. We share menu prices and nutrition information for general guidance. We are not affiliated with Costa Limited or Costa Coffee. Under UK law, we are the data controller for information collected here. You can email us at costamenuprice@gmail.com with any privacy questions.
Information We Collect
The information we collect is limited and mostly technical in nature. Our servers record your IP address, browser type, device, and pages viewed. Advertising partners may also record approximate location and referring websites. If you email us, we receive your name, email address, and message. We never ask for payment details or sensitive personal data.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information only for clear and honest purposes. It helps us run the website, keep it secure, and improve menu content. We also use it to reply to messages and measure advertising performance. Advertising income helps keep this website free for every visitor. We never sell your personal information to any third party.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we need a legal basis for processing your data. We rely on your consent for personalised advertising cookies and optional analytics. We rely on legitimate interests to run and secure the website. We also process data when the law requires us to. You can withdraw your consent at any time you choose.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies and similar technologies are small files stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and local storage. Some are essential for the website to load and stay secure. Others support analytics and the delivery of advertising to visitors. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Google AdSense Advertising
We use Google AdSense to show advertising on this website. Google uses advertising cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve relevant ads. These ads can be based on your visits to this website and other sites. Google and its partners may therefore recognise your browser across different websites. Google explains these practices in detail in its own privacy policy.
Third Party Vendors and Ad Networks
Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on previous visits. These vendors and ad networks may place and read cookies in your browser. They may also use web beacons when ads are served. We have no access to or control over these technologies. Google's ad technology providers list shows which companies may serve ads here.
How to Opt Out of Personalised Ads
You can opt out of personalised ads at any time. Visit Google Ads Settings to turn off personalised advertising from Google. You can also use the Digital Advertising Alliance opt out page. Your Online Choices offers another option for visitors in the UK and Europe. Opting out keeps ads on screen but makes them less relevant.
Cookie Consent for UK Visitors
Cookie consent is requested from visitors in the UK, EEA, and Switzerland. Our consent banner follows Google's EU User Consent Policy for advertising. You can accept, reject, or manage choices before personalised ads load. Change your mind anytime using the privacy settings link in our footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect any processing done before withdrawal.
Analytics Tools
We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand traffic. These tools use cookies to count visits and measure popular pages. We review the results only in summary form, never as individual profiles. You can stop tracking by installing Google's browser extension. This helps us improve menu pages and fix technical problems.
Who We Share Information With
We share information only when it is necessary and lawful. Advertising partners such as Google receive data needed to serve and measure ads. Hosting, security, and analytics providers process data on our behalf. Authorities may receive data when the law clearly requires us to share it. Google acts as an independent controller for data it collects for advertising.
International Data Transfers
International data transfers may occur because some partners operate outside the United Kingdom. Google, for example, may process data in the United States. We rely on partner safeguards approved under UK data protection law. These include adequacy regulations and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement. We expect every partner to protect your information to the same standard.
Data Retention
Our data retention approach is to keep information only while needed. Messages you send us are kept until your request is resolved. Cookie data lasts as long as each cookie remains active. Advertising partners follow their own retention rules for the data they collect. Server logs are deleted after a limited period for security reasons.
Your Data Protection Rights
Your data protection rights under UK GDPR are strong and clear. You may request access, correction, or deletion of your information. You may also object to or restrict processing, and ask for portability. Email us to use any right and we will reply within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Children’s Privacy
Children's privacy matters to us, so we handle it carefully. This website is not directed at children under the age of thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from any child. If you believe a child sent us information, please contact us. We will delete that information as soon as we can.
Data Security
Data security is a priority for everyone who runs this website. We use reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect information. These include secure hosting, access controls, and regular software updates. No online method is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute protection. Please use caution when sharing personal details through any website.
External Links
External links on this website may lead to other organisations. These may include the official Costa Coffee website and other brands. We do not control their content or their privacy practices. Their policies may differ from the policy you are reading now. Please read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Policy Updates
Policy updates may happen when laws, advertising rules, or our website practices change. We will publish each revised version on this very page. We will highlight any significant changes clearly on the website. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy. Please check this page regularly so you always stay fully informed.
