Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 30, 2026

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by Guziman's Gomez, accessible at guzimansgomez.com. It is intended to provide you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect and process your personal data.

As an Australian business, we are committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Where applicable, we also consider guidance issued by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). When cookies involve the collection of personal information, those activities are governed by our Privacy Policy in accordance with Australian law.

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, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to deliver personalised experiences to users.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Guziman's Gomez) 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 — for example, advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies typically store a range of information, including a unique identifier for your browser or device, the type of browser and device you use, your IP address, and information about your browsing behaviour on our site. Some cookies are temporary — known as "session cookies" — and are deleted when you close your browser. Others are "persistent cookies" and remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

In addition to cookies, we may also use related technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and scripts that perform similar functions. For simplicity, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for a variety of reasons. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the technical operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. Others help us to improve your experience, understand how visitors use our site, and deliver relevant advertising. Specifically, we use cookies to:

• Ensure our website functions correctly and securely;
• Remember your preferences and settings (such as language or region);
• Understand how visitors interact with our website through analytics data;
• Deliver relevant advertising and promotional content relating to our food offerings;
• Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns;
• Improve website performance and user experience over time;
• Prevent fraudulent activity and enhance security.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies used on guzimansgomez.com into the following four types:

4.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in to an account, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as placing an order or accessing secure areas — cannot be provided. Because they are essential to the delivery of services you have explicitly requested, these cookies do not require your consent under applicable Australian law.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and whether users encounter any errors. All information collected by these cookies 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.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly — for example, saved preferences such as your preferred restaurant location may not be retained between visits.

4.4 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.

5. Cookies We Use — Detailed Table

The following table sets out the specific cookies used on guzimansgomez.com, their purpose, type, and duration:

Note: This table is subject to change as we update our website features and third-party integrations. We recommend reviewing this Cookie Policy periodically for the latest information.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them. The primary third-party services we use are:

• Meta (Facebook): We use the Facebook Pixel to measure conversions and deliver targeted advertising on Facebook and Instagram. Meta's data policy is available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/.
• Google DoubleClick: Used for ad serving and tracking the effectiveness of display advertising campaigns.

We do not control these third parties' tracking technologies or how they use them. If you have any questions about a third party's advertising or data practices, you should contact that third party directly.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, and guzimansgomez.com does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

10. Cookie Data and the Australian Privacy Act

Where cookies collect personal information about you — such as your IP address, device identifiers, or browsing behaviour linked to your identity — such collection is governed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Guziman's Gomez is committed to handling your personal information in accordance with these obligations, including:

• Only collecting personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities (APP 3);
• Being transparent about how we collect and use personal information (APP 1 & APP 5);
• Storing personal information securely and protecting it from misuse or unauthorised access (APP 11);
