Welcome to Chuys ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at chuys-food.click and explains in detail how and why we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our platform.

As a food business operating in the United States, we are committed to transparency about our data practices. This policy is designed to comply with applicable U.S. federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on consumer data and online tracking.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. These files are created by the web server and stored in your browser. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies serve many different purposes. Some cookies are strictly necessary for a website to function properly, while others help website owners understand how visitors interact with their content, remember user preferences, or deliver targeted advertising.

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether you have opened a page or email.
• Local Storage Objects: Data stored in your browser's local storage that persists even after you close the browser.
• Session Storage: Temporary data stored in your browser that is cleared when the browser session ends.
• Tracking Pixels: Small pieces of code placed on our website pages that collect information about your browsing behavior.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit chuys-food.click, our server sends one or more cookies to your browser. Your browser stores these cookies locally on your device. When you navigate to other pages on our site or return on a subsequent visit, your browser sends the stored cookies back to our server. This two-way communication allows us to:

• Recognize you as a returning visitor
• Maintain your session while you browse
• Remember your preferences (such as language settings or items in your cart)
• Analyze how you use our website to improve performance
• Deliver relevant advertising based on your interests

Cookies themselves do not contain personally identifiable information such as your name or payment details. However, the information collected by cookies may be linked to personal information we already hold about you, if you have provided it to us.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types:

4.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, certain features of the site would not function properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent as they are strictly necessary to provide the services you have requested. They typically include:

• Security cookies that help prevent fraudulent use of login credentials
• Load-balancing cookies that ensure smooth website performance
• Cookies that remember items you add to an online order or cart

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. This data is used in aggregate form to help us understand website traffic patterns and improve our website's performance and content. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics tool.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your preferred location, language, or the last food items you viewed. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or using a live chat feature. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads and Facebook 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.
