1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site operator. “Similar technologies” include local storage and pixels that perform comparable functions.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Strictly necessary — required for the website to function, such as maintaining your session and remembering choices you make, including your privacy preference (the dns_optout cookie set from our Your Privacy Choices page).
  • Functional — used to remember settings and improve your experience.
  • Analytics — we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it.
  • Advertising — we use Google Ads, which may set cookies used for advertising and measurement. Under California law, this may be considered “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and you may opt out (see below).

You can opt out of analytics and advertising cookies using the consent banner on our website or our Your Privacy Choices page. When you opt out, we disable Google Analytics and Google Ads tags on your browser. We also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.

Some features of our website, such as reservation and online ordering widgets, are provided by third parties that may set their own cookies when you interact with those features. These cookies are governed by the third parties’ own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Managing cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website functions. To learn how to manage cookies in your browser, consult your browser’s help documentation.

5. Global Privacy Control

This website honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser or an extension sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. See our Your Privacy Choices page for details.
