📢 Short Version: This website may earn money through display ads and links to third-party services. We are not affiliated with Cook Out the restaurant. Everything we publish is based on honest, independent research — we never let advertising money influence what we say about menu items, prices, or nutrition data.
We put this Affiliate Disclosure together because we believe you deserve to know exactly how this site works financially. No smoke and mirrors. If something on this site could earn us money, we say so right here. This disclosure is required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under 16 CFR Part 255 and aligns with guidelines from consumer protection bodies worldwide.
1. Who We Are
CookoutsMenu.online is an independent, privately operated reference website. We are a small team that manually researches and updates Cook Out menu prices, calories, and related information on a regular basis. We are not employed by, affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any official relationship with Cook Out LLC or any of its franchisees.
Cook Out and all related brand names are the exclusive property of Cook Out LLC. We reference these names only for informational purposes under nominative fair use. For more detail on this, see our Disclaimer page.
2. How This Website Makes Money
Running a website has real costs — hosting, research time, writing, and technical maintenance. To cover these costs and keep the site free for everyone, we use the following monetisation methods:
| Revenue Source | How It Works | Does It Affect Our Content? |
|---|---|---|
| Display Advertising (e.g. Google AdSense) |
Ads shown on pages. We earn a small amount when visitors view or click them. | NO — ads are served automatically by algorithms. We don’t choose which ads appear. |
| Affiliate Links | Links to third-party services (e.g. food delivery apps). If you sign up through our link, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. | NO — we only link to things we would genuinely recommend. No brand pays to be featured in our editorial content. |
| Sponsored Content | Occasionally, a brand may pay us to publish content about their product or service. | DISCLOSED — any sponsored post will be clearly labelled “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership” at the top of that page. |
3. Our Editorial Independence Promise
We take editorial independence seriously. Here is what that means in practice for CookoutsMenu.online:
No Pay-to-Feature
We never accept payment to feature a menu item positively or to hide negative information about prices or ingredients.
Verified Price Data
Our Cook Out menu prices come from community-sourced and publicly available data. No brand pays us to adjust the figures.
Honest Nutrition Info
Our Cook Out nutrition data is based on publicly available information. Affiliate relationships do not change what we report.
4. Affiliate Programs We May Participate In
From time to time, we may participate in affiliate programs such as:
- Food delivery platforms — such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub affiliate programs (relevant to our Cook Out delivery guide)
- Amazon Associates — for kitchen tools, food storage products, or related items
- Nutrition and diet apps relevant to our readers
When you click one of these links and make a purchase or sign up, we may receive a small referral fee. This does not increase the price you pay. You pay the same whether you go through our link or go directly to the company.
5. Third-Party Websites
Our site may contain links to external websites we do not control. When you leave CookoutsMenu.online, this Affiliate Disclosure no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy and disclosure statements of any third-party site you visit through our links.
6. Changes to This Disclosure
Our monetisation arrangements may change over time. If we add a new affiliate program or advertising partner, we will update this page accordingly. The “Last Updated” date at the top will always reflect when we last made a change.
