1. Introduction
Welcome to Chuys. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are also available on our website.
This Cookie Policy applies to all users of mexican-chuys.click located in the United States, and our practices are in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.
If you have any questions about this policy or how we use cookies, please contact us at [email protected].
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. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Chuys) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit the website from the same device, the browser checks to see if it has a cookie that is relevant to the site and sends the information contained in that cookie back to the site. The site then "knows" that you have been before and, in some cases, tailors what pops up on screen to take account of that fact.
Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information such as your name or email address, but only if you provide this information. Website owners can only access personally identifiable information that you have voluntarily provided. The website cannot gain access to other cookies or to any other information on your computer.
2.2 Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to track your activity on our website:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action.
- Local Storage: A feature of your browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but only lasts for the duration of your browsing session.
- Fingerprinting: A method of collecting information about your device and browser settings to create a unique "fingerprint" that can be used to identify you across websites.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
