Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 23, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cabana Taco. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your visit to our website. This Cookie Policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. This Cookie Policy applies to all pages and services available through taco-cabana.click.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

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 stored by your web browser and contain information such as a unique identifier, the name of the website, and some digits and numbers. They serve many different purposes, from enabling basic website functionality to helping businesses understand how users interact with their content.

Cookies were originally designed to help websites remember stateful information, such as items in a shopping cart. Over time, their use has expanded significantly to include analytics, advertising, personalization, and more.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit a website, your browser sends a request to the website's server. The server responds by sending back the requested web page, along with one or more cookies. Your browser stores these cookies locally on your device. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the stored cookies back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions from your previous visit.

There are two main categories of cookies based on their lifespan:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are stored in your browser's memory only while you are browsing a website. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies help websites recognize you as you move from page to page within the same site.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits and to track your behavior over time.

Cookies can also be categorized based on who sets them:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Cabana Taco, the website you are visiting. They are generally used to improve your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services or companies other than Cabana Taco, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks. These cookies may track your browsing activity across multiple websites.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Cabana Taco uses the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and certain features and services would be unavailable to you. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be turned off in our systems.

Essential cookies are used for purposes such as:

  • Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
  • Remembering items you have added to an online order or cart
  • Ensuring the security of your browsing session
  • Remembering your cookie consent preferences
  • Enabling access to secure areas of the website

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to measure and improve the performance of our website, identify which pages are most popular, and understand how users navigate through our site. This helps us continuously improve the user experience.

We use Google Analytics to collect this type of information. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The data collected through these cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify individual users.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our website. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your language preference, your location, or your login details, to provide a more personalized experience.

If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies 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. They may also track your visits to other websites.

We use Google Ads cookies to track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. This helps us understand which ads are driving traffic to our website and which are resulting in conversions such as online orders or reservations.

While you have the right to restrict or disable cookies, it is important to understand how doing so may affect your experience on our website. The impact varies depending on which types of cookies you disable:

  • Essential Cookies: If you disable essential cookies, our website may not function properly. You may be unable to complete online orders, access certain features, or maintain a secure browsing session. We strongly recommend keeping essential cookies enabled.

  • Functional Cookies: If you disable functional cookies, some personalized features may not work correctly. For example, your language preferences, location settings, or saved order preferences may not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter this information each time.
  • Advertising Cookies: Disabling advertising cookies will not reduce the number of advertisements you see, but the ads you do see may be less relevant to your interests. You will still see advertisements, but they will be more generic in nature.

8. Third-Party Cookies and Links

Our website may include content and links from third-party websites, social media platforms, and other external services. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with their content on our website.
