Legal and site information

Cookie Policy

This policy describes how this website uses cookies and similar browser storage. The site is an independent informational guide for Guzman y Gomez Woolloomooloo, it does not process orders or payments, and nothing here changes how pickup or delivery orders are handled by the restaurant or by the app.

What this page covers

  • What cookies and similar browser storage are, in plain language.
  • Which cookie types this site may set, and what each one is for.
  • How third-party services behave when pages load their content.
  • How to view, block or delete cookies in your own browser.
  • Why ordering runs outside this site and who handles that data.

Questions that this page does not answer can go to the team through the contact page.

What cookies are

Small files, kept in your browser, holding very little.

Cookies are small text files that a website can store in your browser. They allow a site to recognise a browser across page loads, remember a setting, or measure how pages are used. A cookie does not run programs on your device and it cannot read files you keep on it; it simply carries a short value back to the server that set it.

Similar technologies, such as local storage, serve comparable purposes and are covered by this policy in the same way. Local storage keeps a value in the browser without sending it with every request, which makes it useful for remembering a preference between visits. Where this page says cookie, read it as covering both forms of browser storage unless the difference matters.

Each cookie has a lifetime. Session cookies disappear when you close the browser tab, while persistent cookies stay until their set expiry date or until you remove them. Most cookies used for basic site behaviour fall into the shorter-lived group.

Cookies used on this site

The site may use cookies for basic functionality and for analytics that show which pages are visited and how the site performs. Nothing here is tied to your name or to a Guzman y Gomez account, and the site does not build a profile of individual visitors for advertising.

Keep the site working

Functional cookies

These support features like form behaviour and remembering a choice you made while browsing, for example that you have already seen a notice. They keep the site predictable from one page to the next. Turning them off is possible through your browser, but parts of the site may then behave differently or ask for the same preference again.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies provide aggregated usage information, such as how many visits a page receives and where visitors leave. Reports built from them describe traffic in groups, not individuals, and they are not used to identify you by name. If the site stops measuring something, the report simply stops including it.

Aggregated only Not tied to a name

Straight answers

Does the site store payment details? No. There is no checkout here, so no card data is entered on these pages.

Does it sell cookie data? No. Usage information stays with the tools that measure the site.

Can you stop analytics entirely? Yes, by blocking third-party requests or disabling cookies for this domain in your browser.

For the wider picture on how details are handled, the privacy policy is the companion document to this one.

Third-party cookies

Some pages may load resources from third parties, such as embedded content or analytics services, and those providers may set their own cookies. Their use of information is governed by their own policies rather than this one.

If you want to limit them, browser settings and content blockers can restrict third-party requests. Blocking every third-party request sometimes removes embedded media along with the cookie, which is a reasonable trade if you would rather not be tracked across sites.

What to check, and where

Who set the cookie

Your browser lists the domain next to each entry, so a name that does not match this site came from an embedded service.

How long it lasts

Session entries clear when you close the browser; dated entries stay until that date or until you delete them.

What it is used for

A short value with a random identifier usually means measurement; a stored preference usually means formatting or display settings.

What the provider says

Embedded services publish their own cookie notes. Those pages, not this one, describe what the provider does with the data.

Managing cookies in your browser

Every major browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies through its settings. The names differ slightly, but the controls sit close together, usually under a heading for privacy, site data, or content settings.

Blocking all cookies may change how some parts of the site work, particularly form handling. Deleting cookies removes existing ones but does not prevent new ones being set on a later visit unless you block them as well. Clearing them regularly is the middle path: you keep the site working normally and simply start each visit with a clean slate.

Private or incognito windows take a similar approach. Cookies set during a private session are discarded when the window closes, which is useful for checking how the site behaves for a first-time visitor. If you use more than one browser, settings apply per browser, so a block in one does not carry over to another.

Browser extensions that manage cookies work the same way as the built-in controls, with the advantage that you can apply one rule across several sites at once.

Where the numbers come from

Counts and page reports are read from the tools that measure this site. Only the site owner sees them, and they stay on this domain and its measurement providers.

Cookies and the ordering process

Two separate systems, two separate sets of rules.

This site does not run an ordering or checkout system, so no cookies here are used to complete a transaction. Ordering happens through the restaurant, the GYG app, or a third-party delivery platform, each of which applies its own cookie and privacy practices. Questions about data used during an order should go to whichever service handled it, because that service holds the account and the record.

The practical difference matters at checkout. A preference set on this site does not travel to the app, and a payment method saved in the app is not visible here. If you clear cookies for this domain, nothing resets in the app or on the delivery platform you use.

What this site does help with is information. You can read about the menu, delivery and pickup options, and how the food is prepared before you decide where to order. What to see and what to order sit on the menu page, and the service formats are described on the delivery and pickup page.

Changes to this policy

The cookies used on the site may change as the site is updated. When they do, this policy is the place where that is described. Continued use of the site after a change indicates acceptance of the updated description.

If you have questions about what is currently in use, contact the site through the contact page. It helps to mention which browser you use and what you were doing when a cookie appeared, since that narrows down which part of the site set it.

Before you write in

  • Check whether the cookie matches this domain. If it does not, an embedded service set it.
  • Note whether the issue persists in a private window, where old cookies are not carried over.
  • For anything tied to an order, start with the restaurant, the GYG app, or the delivery platform instead.
