What We Collect

We collect personal information you provide when you contact us via our contact form, including your name, email address and message content. We do not require registration to read our content.

We also collect non-personally identifiable technical data via cookies and analytics tools, including pages visited, time on site, device type and approximate location. This data is used in aggregate to improve our content and understand our audience.

How We Use Your Information

Information submitted via the contact form is used solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the website (hosting, analytics), under strict confidentiality obligations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This website uses first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set by scriptoutlook.com and are used for basic site functionality (e.g. remembering your cookie preference). Third-party cookies are set by service providers including analytics and advertising platforms, as described below. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; this will not prevent you from reading our content.

Third-Party Services and Advertising

This website may display content recommendations and advertisements powered by Taboola (Taboola.com Ltd / Taboola, Inc.). Taboola and its partners may use cookies, pixel tags, unique identifiers and similar non-cookie technologies to collect information about your device and browsing activity in order to serve you interest-based advertising and to measure the performance of those advertisements. This data collection occurs on our pages and, in some cases, on other websites and apps across the internet.

We also use analytics software (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use this site. This data is collected in aggregate and does not personally identify you.

How to opt out of interest-based advertising:

Please note that opting out does not stop advertising from appearing — it means the advertising shown will be less tailored to your interests.

Affiliate Links

Some articles on Script Outlook contain affiliate links to third-party retailers. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission. Clicking affiliate links does not result in us collecting any personal information about you beyond what the retailer's own systems collect in the ordinary course of a transaction.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months, after which they are securely deleted. Analytics data is retained in accordance with our analytics provider's standard retention policies.
