Cookie Policy
Effective Date: August 23, 2026 | Last Updated: August 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Smokey and the Brisket (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.smokeyandthebrisketsd.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, tags, and local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this Policy. First-party cookies are set by us. Third-party cookies are set by our partners. Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain until they expire or are deleted).
How We Use Cookies
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable core functionality such as security, network management, navigation, and form submission. Cannot be switched off. | Session ID, security/CSRF tokens, load-balancing, form anti-spam |
| Performance / Analytics | Collect aggregated information about how visitors use the Site so we can measure and improve performance. | Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager (_ga, _ga_*, _gid) |
| Functional | Remember choices you make to provide enhanced, personalized features. | Language, region, saved preferences, accessibility toolbar settings |
| Advertising / Targeting | Build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on and off the Site; measure ad performance. | Meta (Facebook) Pixel (_fbp, fr); Google advertising and remarketing cookies |
| Embedded Third-Party Content | Set by services embedded in or linked from our pages, under their own policies. | Google Maps, online ordering and catering platforms, social media embeds |
If our Site embeds or links to an online ordering, catering, reservation, waitlist, or delivery service (such as Toast, PerfectVenue, DoorDash, or a similar provider), that provider may set its own cookies once the widget loads or once you follow the link, governed by their own cookie and privacy policies. We link to those policies where the widget or link appears.
Your Choices & How to Manage Cookies
- Browser controls. Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site functions.
- Opt-out signals. We honor recognized opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), where required by law. You can enable GPC in a supporting browser or extension.
- Analytics opt-out. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Advertising opt-out. You can manage interest-based advertising through the DAA and NAI opt-out tools, and through your Meta ad preferences and Google My Ad Center.
- Direct request. You may also email us at managers@smokeyandthebrisketsd.com or call 619-439-6544 to ask us to stop sharing your personal information for targeted advertising.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is no consistent industry standard for DNT, the Site may not respond to DNT signals; however, we honor the Global Privacy Control as described above.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We will revise the “Last Updated” date when we do.
