1. Introduction

Welcome to Chuy's. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences when you visit our website at chuysrestaurant.rest.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together provide a complete picture of how we handle your personal information. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

We operate as a food service business in the United States and comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

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 websites work more efficiently, provide a better and more personalized browsing experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Chuy's) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit our website, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit our site from the same device, the browser checks to see if it has a cookie that is relevant to the site and sends the information contained in that cookie back to the site. The website then recognizes that you have visited before and tailors what pops up on screen to you accordingly.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can store a range of information, including your preferences, login details, shopping cart contents, and browsing history on our site.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our website:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in emails or web pages that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action.
• Local Storage: A type of web storage that allows websites to store data locally within your browser with no expiration date.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when the page session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code embedded in our website that help track user behavior and gather analytics data.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Understanding these categories will help you make informed decisions about which cookies you are comfortable accepting.

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 only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Essential cookies enable core functionalities such as:

• Maintaining your session while browsing our website
• Remembering your cookie consent preferences
• Enabling secure areas of our website
• Processing online reservations or order forms
• Load balancing and security functions

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance effectively.

We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used analytics platforms, to collect and analyze data about how users interact with our website. This helps us improve the overall experience for our guests.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, your location for finding nearby restaurant locations, or customizations you make) and provide enhanced, more personal features. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They 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. We use Google Ads and similar platforms to reach potential customers who may be interested in dining at Chuy's.

5.3 Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want your online activity tracked. Our website currently responds to DNT signals on a best-effort basis. However, because there is no accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, we cannot guarantee full compliance with all DNT browser settings at this time. We encourage you to use the opt-out tools described above for more reliable control over your data.

5.4 Mobile Device Controls

If you access our website via a mobile device, you can manage interest-based advertising preferences through your device settings:
