Welcome to Cabana Taco's Cookie Policy. This document explains how Cabana Taco ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at cabana-taco.rest (the "Website").

By continuing to use our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act).

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. These files are created by the website's server and stored locally on your device by your web browser. Cookies allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, preferences, and actions over time.

Cookies serve a variety of important functions on the internet, including:

  • Authentication: Keeping you logged in as you navigate through a website.
  • Preferences: Remembering your settings, such as language preferences or items in a shopping cart.
  • Analytics: Collecting data about how visitors use a website to help improve its performance and content.
  • Advertising: Delivering advertisements that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing behavior.
  • Security: Helping detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect user accounts.

2.1 Types of Cookies by Origin

Cookies can be classified based on their origin:

  • First-Party Cookies: Set directly by Cabana Taco when you visit our Website. These are primarily used for functionality and to improve your experience.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services and partners (such as Google Analytics or advertising networks) that provide features or services on our Website. These third parties may collect data about your online activities across different websites.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They enable a website to link your actions during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (specified in the cookie's expiration date) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

2.3 Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny, transparent graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views and email opens.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage mechanisms that allow websites to store data locally on your device beyond cookie limitations.
  • JavaScript Tags: Short pieces of code that run in your browser and collect data about your interactions with our Website.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We organize the cookies used on cabana-taco.rest into four main categories based on their purpose:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our Website. Without them, services that you have requested — such as browsing our menu, filling out contact forms, or placing online orders — cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

Because these cookies are essential to the functioning of the Website, they are placed on your device without requiring your consent, as permitted under applicable law.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, including which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter any error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — it is used to improve how our Website works, not to identify individual users.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand our Website's performance. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our site, which is then transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, location, or the last items you viewed on our menu) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a post. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We may use Google Ads and similar advertising platforms to reach potential customers who have previously visited our Website or to find new customers who share similar interests with our existing visitors.

While you have every right to disable or block cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and performance of our Website. Below is a summary of the potential impacts:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Disabling essential cookies will significantly impair your ability to use the Website. Core features such as secure browsing, session management, and form submissions may not function correctly. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
Analytics Cookies Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from understanding how visitors use our Website. This means we may be less able to identify and fix performance issues or improve your experience over time. Your use of the Website will not be materially affected.
Functional Cookies Without functional cookies, the Website will not be able to remember your preferences (such as your preferred location or previously viewed menu items). You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit.
Advertising Cookies Disabling advertising cookies will mean that you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly, and advertisers will have less information about the effectiveness of their campaigns.
