What cookies are
Small files your browser stores so a site can remember things between page loads.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information between page loads, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice. Similar technologies, including local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
Cookies are set either by the site you are visiting or by a service the site uses for a specific task. They are not programs, they cannot run on their own, and they do not read other files on your device. Most of them expire after a set period, ranging from the length of a single visit to a few months, depending on what they are used for.
Cookies we use
The site uses cookies for basic operation and for understanding how visitors move through the pages. They fall into three categories, and we do not use cookies to collect payment details.
Required for the site to function and to submit forms. Without them, contact and quote requests cannot be sent, and parts of the page may not display correctly.
Used to measure page visits and general usage patterns, so we can see which pages visitors read and improve the content that is not working.
Used to remember settings you select, such as a dismissed notice, so you do not have to make the same choice again on your next visit.
Why we use them
Each category does a different job on the site, and we keep the list short on purpose.
Keep the site working
Strictly necessary cookies hold the page together and allow contact and quote request forms to be submitted. They also keep a session steady while you move between pages.
Understand what gets read
Analytics cookies help us see which pages visitors use, how long they stay, and where they leave. That tells us which menus, event pages, or answers need clearer wording.
Remember your choices
Preference cookies remember choices you make, so you don't have to re-enter them on your next visit. They are not used to build a profile of you or to target advertising on this site.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services that support site analytics. These providers process data according to their own privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies directly. Where such cookies are used, they are limited to measurement and site performance.
What this means for you
Analytics data is read in aggregate to judge which pages help visitors. If you would rather not take part, blocking analytics cookies in your browser does not stop you from reading the site or sending us a request.
Managing cookies
Every mainstream browser lets you see, block, and delete cookies. Where those controls live depends on the browser you use.
Check what is stored
Your browser's privacy or storage settings list the cookies and site data currently held for the pages you visit, with the option to remove them individually or all at once.
Block or allow by site
Most browsers let you allow cookies for sites you trust and block them elsewhere. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site, including forms, from working correctly.
Clear data when you want
Deleting cookies signs you out of stored preferences and resets any notice you have already dismissed. The site will ask again the next time you visit.
Private browsing
Private or incognito windows discard most cookies when you close the window. They are useful for a quick visit, but they do not remove cookies already stored from earlier sessions.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the cookies used on the site change. The current version is always published on this page, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
If a change affects what a cookie is used for rather than how it is described, we will say so in the section it belongs to, so you can compare the current wording with what you read before.
Questions about this policy
Questions about this policy can be sent to Costa Vida Mexican Street Food & Gourmet Catering at 1242 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704, USA, or by phone at +1-512-555-7423.
Do cookies on this site store payment details?
No. The cookies described in this policy cover site operation, measurement, and preferences. Payment details are not collected through cookies on this website.
What happens if I block all cookies?
You can still read the site. What may stop working is the ability to submit a contact or quote request, because those forms rely on strictly necessary cookies to keep the session steady while the form is sent.
Do I need to accept cookies to browse the menu and event pages?
No. Menu pages, event information, and this policy are readable without accepting anything. Cookies matter mainly when a form is involved or when we measure which pages are used.
How long do cookies stay on my device?
It depends on the cookie. Session cookies disappear when you close the browser. Others stay for a set period, from a few days to a few months, and you can remove any of them earlier through your browser settings.
Planning food for an event?
Cookie questions go to the address above. Menu, taco bar, and party tray questions belong with the team that plans the food.
