Cookie Policy
Last Updated: July 8, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Chuys. We operate the website chuys-newhot.click and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access or use our website. We encourage you to read this policy carefully so that you understand your rights and our obligations with respect to cookie usage. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].
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. These files are stored in your web browser and allow the website — or third-party services operating on the website — to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.
Cookies serve a wide variety of functions. Some cookies are strictly necessary for a website to operate correctly, while others help website owners understand how visitors interact with their site, remember user preferences, or deliver targeted advertising. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but the information they collect can sometimes be linked to your personal data if you have provided it to us.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand user behavior and email engagement.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, functioning similarly to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when your browser session ends.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that uses information about your browser and device to create a unique identifier.
For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
3. How Cookies Work
When you visit chuys-newhot.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or session information.
Cookies can be classified in several ways:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time (defined by the cookie's expiration date) or until you manually delete them.
- First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by our website (chuys-newhot.click).
- Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services or partners (such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms) that operate on our website.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on chuys-newhot.click:
4.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are required for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our site — such as secure login, shopping cart functionality, or page navigation — would not work. Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of our website, they cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your experience.
These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or advertising purposes. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms, setting privacy preferences, or logging in.
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to measure and improve the performance of our site — for example, by identifying which pages are most popular, how users navigate through the site, and where visitors may encounter errors.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions and generates statistical and other information about website use. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website 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 font size) and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of our web pages.
The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies (also known as targeting or marketing 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 remember that you have visited a website and share this information with advertising organizations such as Google Ads and others.
We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing cookies, which allow us to show you relevant Chuys advertisements across the web after you have visited our site.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling certain categories of cookies may affect your experience on our website. Below is a summary of what you may lose access to if you disable each type of cookie:

|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Core website functionality will be severely impaired. You may not be able to add items to your cart, complete orders, log in to your account, or navigate the site properly. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies. |

9. Cookies and Children
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children through cookies or any other means. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
