Last Updated: May 16, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Cabana Taco ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at cabana.rest and explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use to operate our website and improve your dining experience online. Whether you are browsing our menu, placing an order, or simply learning about our restaurant, we want you to understand how data is collected and used through cookies.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website. By using cabana.rest, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
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. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to give website owners information about how their site is being used.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. When you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you first visit cabana.rest, our website sends cookie files to your browser. These files are stored either in your browser's memory (session cookies) or on your hard drive (persistent cookies). Each time you revisit our website, your browser retrieves these cookies and sends the relevant information back to our web server.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by other organizations whose content appears on the page, such as advertising or analytics providers ("third-party cookies").
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to determine whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within your browser.
- JavaScript: Small pieces of code that help us track user behavior and improve website functionality.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several different categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a specific purpose and has different implications for your privacy and browsing experience.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in to an account, or filling in forms.
Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as navigating between pages or completing an online order — cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with cabana.rest. They help us learn which pages are the most and least popular, see how visitors move around the site, and identify any errors or issues with functionality. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We use Google Analytics to collect this type of data. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to monitor or improve website performance.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our website. They allow our website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, your location, or customizations to our menu display — so we can provide a more personalized experience.
If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and Facebook. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device.
These cookies 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.
