Last Updated: May 9, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to 4 Rivers BBQ. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website, 4rivers-bbq.click.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and store your personal information. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. We encourage you to review this page periodically. The date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, 4 Rivers BBQ) 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 (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit a website, your browser requests a webpage from the web server. The server sends back the requested page along with one or more cookies. Your browser stores these cookies on your device. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends back the cookies to the server, which allows the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They help websites remember what you did during a single browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They help websites remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
• Local Storage: A web storage technology that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that uses information about your browser, device, and network to identify you across different websites and sessions.

For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may then not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

3.2 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 to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to help analyze how our website is used. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. This information is processed in a way that does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. 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, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

Functional cookies help us remember your preferences, such as your preferred language or region, font size, and other display settings, so you do not have to re-enter this information each time you return to the website.

3.4 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 directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies help us understand which of our marketing activities are most effective and allow us to provide you with targeted advertising on third-party websites and platforms.
