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 their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and generate analytical and statistical information about how visitors use the site.
Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit our website at chuysgrill.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small text file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that run content on the page you are viewing (known as "third-party cookies"). We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website.
2.2 Cookie Lifespan
Cookies can be categorized based on their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to remember your actions during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several different types of cookies on our website, each serving a specific purpose. Below, we explain each category and why we use them.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
Without these cookies, certain services on our website — such as online ordering, reservation booking, or account access — cannot be provided. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not function as a result.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand 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.
We use Google Analytics to collect this data. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, and it uses cookies to track and report website traffic.

3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website, such as remembering your preferred location, language settings, or your name when you return to the site. 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 and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
