Cookie Policy

01What are cookies and local storage?

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store. When you return to the website, the browser sends the cookie back so the site can "remember" something about your visit — like whether you're logged in, or what's in your cart.

Local storage is a similar feature, but more modern and more private: data is stored only on your device and is never automatically sent to the server with each request. It's what modern sites use for things like remembering your cart or your preferences.

Both are normal parts of how the modern web works. Neither is malicious by itself — what matters is what is being stored and who can read it.

02What this site stores

Here is the complete list. Every item below is stored in your browser, on your device, and is readable only by this site (not by other websites, not by third parties).

Name	Type	Purpose	Lifetime
atilanos_cart_v1	localStorage	Stores the items in your shopping cart — item IDs, names, prices, and quantities. Required for the cart and checkout to work.	Until you clear it, empty the cart, or place an order
atilanos_cookie_consent	localStorage	Records that you've dismissed the cookie banner so it doesn't appear on every page you visit.	Until you clear your browser data
last_order	sessionStorage	Holds order details (order number, pickup time, items, total) so the confirmation page can display them right after checkout. Session storage is automatically cleared when you close the browser tab.	Until the tab is closed

That's the entire list. We do not store any personal identifying information in cookies or local storage — your name, phone number, email, and any notes you add to an order live only on our server after you submit the form, not in your browser.

03What we don't use

We want to be explicit about this, because many restaurant websites quietly load a dozen third-party scripts without telling you. We don't. This site does not use any of the following:

• Google Analytics, Plausible, Matomo, Fathom, or any other analytics platform. We don't track page views, sessions, user behavior, bounce rates, or anything else.
• Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Twitter/X Pixel, Pinterest Tag. No advertising trackers of any kind.
• Google Ads conversion tracking or remarketing tags. No ad targeting.
• Heatmap or session recording tools (Hotjar, FullStory, Microsoft Clarity, etc.). We do not record your screen or your mouse movements.
• A/B testing scripts that modify what you see. Everyone sees the same site.
• Live chat widgets from third parties. Our contact form is the only way to message us, and it goes directly to our own server.
• Any script that reads data from other sites you've visited. Browser cookies are isolated per-domain; we cannot and do not read cookies from other websites.

If you see a claim somewhere that this site uses any of the above, that claim is false. We have no commercial interest in tracking you, we don't have the infrastructure to process tracking data, and we don't want the liability.

04Third-party resources

This site loads a small number of resources from third parties. These are not cookies set by us, but their servers do see standard request information (your IP address, user agent, and what page you're on) when your browser fetches them:

• Google Fonts — the typefaces used on this site are served from Google's servers. The standard Fonts API does not set cookies. See Google's privacy policy.
• Font Awesome via Cloudflare CDN — the icon font is served from Cloudflare's servers. Cloudflare does not set cookies for these static asset requests.
• Google Maps — used on the Visit, Contact, and Home pages to embed a map of our location. Google Maps may set its own cookies when embedded, including cookies used to remember your map preferences and, in some jurisdictions, to personalize advertising. We do not control these cookies. If you prefer not to load Google Maps, you can view our address without the map by clicking the "Get directions" link, which opens Google Maps in a new tab instead of embedding it.

We do not share any information about you with Google beyond what any standard web request reveals (your IP address and the URL you're requesting). We do not send your name, email, phone, order details, or browsing behavior to Google or to any other third party.

05How to control cookies and storage

You have complete control over what this site (and any site) can store in your browser. Here's how to manage it in the major browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies. You can also clear site data for a specific site by clicking the lock icon in the address bar.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Or right-click a page → View Page Info → Permissions.
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data. You can remove data per-site.
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.

If you clear all storage for this site, the following will happen: your cart will be empty, the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit, and any temporary order-confirmation details will be gone. You will not lose any data we already hold — orders and messages you've already sent are stored on our server, not in your browser.

You can also block third-party resources entirely using a browser extension like uBlock Origin or by disabling embedded maps. The site will still function; you just won't see the map on the Visit and Contact pages, and you'll need to use the "Get directions" link to open Google Maps in a new tab.

06Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) header with every request. Because we don't track you in the first place, our behavior is the same whether DNT is on or off — nothing changes, because there was nothing to turn off.

The same applies to Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. We don't sell or share personal information, so there's nothing to opt out of.

07Changes to this policy

If we add a third-party service that sets cookies, or change how we use local storage, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date at the top. We will not silently introduce tracking after telling you we don't track — if that ever changes, this page will say so plainly.

Material changes will be announced on the home page for at least 30 days. Minor clarifications (fixing a typo, rewording a sentence) may be made without notice.
