Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar search term into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.
Information Collected During Visits
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical information when pages load. That information helps operate the site and understand how visitors use Cobb County jail, court, and locator content.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure site use and remember basic technical preferences. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used

Links Beyond This Site
This site links to Cobb Sheriff pages, jail rosters, Georgia Department of Corrections resources, court portals, federal and immigration locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites and serve targeted ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's technology, not through a Cobb County government records system.
