1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Like many websites, Garcia’s uses cookies to make our website at www.garciaschicago.live (the “Website“) work as you would expect it to. A cookie is a small string of data sent by the Website that is stored in your computer’s Internet browser and provided back to the Website each time you interact with the Website to uniquely identify your browser. Cookies do not convey personally identifiable information (“Personal Information“) about you; they provide anonymous information to us regarding how you use the Website. We may use session cookies, which are temporary cookies that disappear after you close your browser and/or persistent cookies, which remain on your hard drive after you close your browser and are reloaded when you open a new browser session.

We also use cookies for other purposes, including providing you with a more personalized web experience. For example, Garcia’s and some of our service providers, advertisers and other third parties may use a variety of technologies to learn more about how you use our Website.

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 Website, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

These cookies are set to make accessing the Website more convenient to the user. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services.

Social media widgets on the Website may also place and access session and/or persistent cookies in your browser.
