Welcome to Taco Time's Cookie Policy. At Taco Time, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and the choices you have regarding their use.

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

We operate in accordance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable to California residents.

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 operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to gather information about how users interact with their websites.

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 Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit our website, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website or navigate to a new page on our site, your browser sends this cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize you and remember your preferences, making your experience more efficient and enjoyable.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are embedded on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types of cookies may be used on food-tacotime.click.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during the time you are using our website. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Session cookies help our website remember your actions during a single browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie itself, or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie and serve various functions such as remembering your preferences across sessions.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Taco Time uses several categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed description of each type and the purpose they serve.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, account access, and accessibility.

5.1 Google LLC

We use Google Analytics and Google Ads services provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

Google Analytics uses IP anonymization on our website, meaning your IP address is truncated within EU member states or other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to Google.

• Inability to use certain interactive features of our website

7.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies

Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from understanding how you use our website.

You may still see the same content, but we will have less insight into how to optimize your experience.

7.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies

Disabling advertising cookies will not prevent you from seeing advertisements; however, the advertisements you see will be less relevant to your interests and browsing history. You may continue to see general ads rather than ads tailored to your preferences.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not currently respond to DNT signals from browsers. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 6 to limit tracking on our website.

9. Your Rights Under United States Privacy Laws

Depending on your state of residence, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including data collected through cookies. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to:
