Welcome to Cabana Taco ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website tacocabana.rest, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or disable them. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and to complying with applicable laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable United States federal and state privacy regulations.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, you may contact us at any time using the contact information provided at the end of this document.
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 to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide information to website owners and operators.
When you visit tacocabana.rest, our web server may send a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. On your next visit, the browser sends this cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or browsing history on our site.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They typically contain the following information:
- The name of the server that placed the cookie
- A unique identifier (an alphanumeric string)
- An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
- Information about your preferences or browsing session on the website
2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your visit to our website. They are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. These are typically used to keep track of your activities during a single browsing session, such as maintaining items in your online order or keeping you logged in while you navigate the site.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that placed them. These cookies are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits, and to collect analytics data over time.
2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Cabana Taco and are only readable by our website. They are used to provide essential functionality and improve your experience on our site.
Third-party cookies are set by third-party services and partners whose features we have incorporated into our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. These third parties may use the information collected to provide services to us and to deliver targeted advertising to you on other websites.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on tacocabana.rest. Below is a detailed description of each category:
3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our site — such as secure login, shopping cart functionality, or page navigation — would not work properly. Because they are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled in our systems without severely impacting your user experience.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are used solely for technical purposes. They do not require your consent under most regulatory frameworks, although we disclose them here for complete transparency.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This includes data on which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on certain pages, what links are clicked, and where users come from (e.g., search engines or social media). We use this data to improve the performance, design, and content of our website.
We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics platform. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect aggregate data about website usage. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. For more information about Google's data practices, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference, region, or whether you have accepted our cookie notice) and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our website.
If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these features may not work correctly, and certain personalized services we offer may not be available to you.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to you as an individual user. They are also used to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers and advertising networks.
We use Google Ads to run online advertising campaigns. Google uses cookies like _gcl_au to track conversions and measure the performance of our advertisements. You can learn more about Google's advertising practices by visiting Google's Advertising Policies.
