Last Updated: May 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Taco Time. This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at tacotime-food.click (the "Website") and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect and process personal data.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

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 owners to make their websites work more efficiently and to provide analytical and reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are delivered to your browser. Your browser then stores the cookie locally. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. There are two main types of cookies based on their origin:

• First-party cookies: These are set directly by Taco Time when you visit our website.
• Third-party cookies: These are set by a third party (such as Google or Facebook) via our website. These third parties may use cookies to track your online activity across multiple websites.

Cookies can also be categorized based on how long they persist on your device:

• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain a consistent browsing session.
• Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences on return visits.

3. How We Use Cookies

Taco Time uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

• Ensuring the proper functioning of our website and online ordering system.
• Remembering your preferences and settings to improve your browsing experience.
• Analyzing how visitors use our website so we can improve its performance and content.
• Delivering targeted advertising and measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
• Providing social media features and integrating with third-party platforms.
• Preventing fraudulent activity and maintaining the security of our website.
• Complying with our legal obligations under applicable U.S. laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), where applicable.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

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

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our website — such as online ordering, account access, and secure checkout — may not work correctly. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools.

Legal basis: These cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website to our users.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the structure, content, and performance of our website. For example, analytics cookies help us understand which pages are most popular, how long users spend on our website, and where they come from.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this information. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device to track your usage of our website and generates statistical and other information about website usage. The information generated is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or saved food orders) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website pages.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful 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 third-party advertising networks with our permission.

We may use Google Ads and other advertising platforms to serve targeted advertisements to users who have previously visited our website. These platforms use cookies to track your browsing behavior and serve relevant ads across other websites you visit.

Under the FTC Act and applicable consumer protection laws, we are required to ensure that our advertising practices are fair, truthful, and non-deceptive.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

The specific impacts of disabling each type of cookie are described below:

• Essential Cookies: If you disable essential cookies, significant portions of our website may not function correctly. You may be unable to add items to your cart, complete online orders, log in to your account, or access secure areas of our website. We strongly recommend that you keep essential cookies enabled.
• Analytics Cookies: Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from collecting data about how you use our website. This means we will be less able to improve our website's performance and content based on user behavior. Your browsing experience should otherwise remain unaffected.
• Functional Cookies: If you disable functional cookies, certain personalized features may not work correctly. For example, your saved preferences, preferred location settings, and customized menu selections may not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter them each time.
• Advertising Cookies: Disabling advertising cookies will not stop you from seeing advertisements, but the advertisements you see will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same advertisements more frequently, as the frequency-capping features of advertising cookies will no longer function.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, like many websites, tacotime-food.click does not currently respond to DNT browser signals.

However, we provide you with meaningful choices about the data we collect through our cookie management tools and the opt-out mechanisms described in Section 7 above.

10. California Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, you may have additional rights regarding the use of cookies and the personal information collected through them under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These rights may include:
