This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our Site, whether you are browsing our menu, placing an online order, or simply exploring our food offerings. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are also available on our Site.

We are committed to transparency and to respecting your privacy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to collect information about how visitors interact with a website.

When you visit our Site for the first time, a cookie file is placed on your device's hard drive or in your browser's storage. Each time you return to our Site, your browser sends this cookie back to our servers, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics providers or advertising networks ("third-party cookies"). Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time:

• Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They help the website remember what you selected on the previous page, for example, to avoid having to re-enter information.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits to a website.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs"), local storage, and scripts to collect information about how you use our Site. This Cookie Policy applies to all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies."

• Analyzing Site performance: Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site so we can improve it, measure the effectiveness of our online menu presentations, and troubleshoot issues.
• Delivering relevant advertising: Advertising and targeting cookies help us display relevant promotions about our menu items and special offers to you, both on our Site and on third-party platforms.
