C. Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors find and use the Site. They may collect information about Site traffic, page views, browser and device characteristics, referring sources, and visitor interactions.
Google Tag Manager may be used to manage and deploy analytics and marketing tags. Google Tag Manager is a tag-management system and may cause other technologies listed in this policy to load based on the Site’s configuration and your consent choices.

Third-party providers may combine information collected through the Site with information obtained from other websites, applications, advertising partners, or account activity, subject to their own privacy policies and settings.
4. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
The Site may contain links to or features supplied by third parties, including Google Maps, Google, Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media, analytics, mapping, or advertising services.
When you interact with a third-party feature or follow a link to a third-party website, the third party may place or access its own cookies and collect information according to its own privacy policy. We do not control the cookies, privacy practices, or retention periods used on third-party websites.
Simply displaying a link to a social-media service does not necessarily mean that the social-media provider places a cookie through the Hamburger Stand Site. Cookies may instead be used after you select the link or interact with an embedded feature.
