Statutory Disclosure Architecture

Cookie Policy & Tracking Consent Governance

This document sets forth the dense technical measure of storage identifiers, advertising parameters, and consent state machinery operating across Lou’s Diner.

Article I. Effective Date and Statutory Scope.

This Cookie and Storage Policy took effect on November 12, 2026 (2026-11-12) for all electronic communications directed to Lou’s Diner at lousdiners.com. Operated by Lousdiners at 431 S Decatur Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada 89107, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, our commercial scratch diner provides morning breakfasts ($22–$85), flat-top smash burgers ($20.59–$25), and traditional lunch plates ($15–$30) à la carte. Our web presence functions exclusively as an informational and booking inquiry terminal. This site processes no financial credit transactions, holds no consumer payment cards, and utilizes digital cookies strictly to manage reservation requests, preserve support communications, and audit advertising placements.

Article II. Classification of Storage Mechanisms.

Digital storage deployed on this site is divided into three distinct operational classifications: Strictly Necessary, Analytical Performance, and Targeted Advertising Attribution. Strictly necessary items comprise browser storage keys essential for transmitting seating requests via puboe68.php, logging support messages via dema53a.php, and recording the user’s consent selection. Analytical mechanisms capture non-personal operational page timings, error triggers, and device viewport metrics to ensure table reservation forms render cleanly on mobile devices. Advertising attribution tools measure click-through efficacy from search engine campaigns, correlating incoming marketing references with completed kitchen inquiries.

Article III. Comprehensive Inventory of Local Storage & Cookies.

The following tabular register specifies every persistent cookie and browser storage key utilized by Lou’s Diner, its origin provider, designated operational purpose, and technical expiration window:

Identifier Name Origin Entity Operational Purpose Retention Window
site_consent_v2 Lou’s Diner (First-party) Records explicit consent state (accepted or declined) for cookie management. 12 months
chat_token Lou’s Diner (First-party) Retains authenticated conversation identifier for support chat widget via dema53a.php. 12 months
_gcl_au Google LLC (Third-party) Conversion measurement for Google Ads when ad_storage is granted. 90 days
_ga / _ga_* Google Analytics (Third-party) Maintains pseudonymous session metrics when analytics_storage is granted. 13 months
_uetsid / _uetvid Microsoft Corporation (Third-party) Tracks paid conversions and query effectiveness for Microsoft Advertising. 30 days / 13 months
_fbp Meta Platforms, Inc. (Third-party) Attribution for Meta Ads campaigns when user permits marketing cookies. 90 days

Article IV. Advertising Networks & Click Parameters.

Lou’s Diner purchases commercial search and social advertising traffic through Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads. When a visitor selects a sponsored advertisement linking to our Decatur Blvd restaurant, the advertising platform appends a distinct query parameter to the landing URL: Google Ads affixes gclid, Microsoft Advertising affixes msclkid, and Meta Ads affixes fbclid. These click identifiers are processed by our scripts strictly to evaluate campaign return and prevent fraudulent invalid clicks. We make no representations that any advertising platform has endorsed, verified, or pre-approved our diner website or culinary claims.

Article V. Google Consent Mode v2 Architecture.

In strict compliance with modern digital privacy protocols, lousdiners.com implements Google Consent Mode v2. Prior to any interaction with the consent banner, our system enforces a default policy wherein four specific storage signals are maintained in the denied status: ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage. No analytical or advertising cookies are written to the client’s browser until affirmative approval is captured. If the visitor declines or subsequently withdraws authorization, all four signals revert immediately to denied, terminating further tracking and purging transient identifiers.

Article VI. Mechanism for Granting & Modifying Consent.

Upon initial arrival at lousdiners.com, a dedicated consent interface presents the options to Accept All or Decline Optional. Visitors may reconsider or modify their preference at any point during their browsing session by selecting the Cookie Settings control prominently embedded in our website footer. Activating this control re-displays the consent panel, permitting instantaneous revocation of advertising permissions and updating the local site_consent_v2 ledger.

Article VII. Consequences of Tracking Refusal.

Visitors who decline optional tracking encounter zero degradation in diner functionality. The entire à la carte menu, breakfast pricing matrix ($22–$85), flat-top burger details ($20.59–$25), chef Ivan Petrov’s background, and restaurant directions to 431 S Decatur Blvd remain fully accessible. Table reservation requests submitted through puboe68.php and direct chat exchanges via dema53a.php execute without hindrance, relying solely on stateless server transmission and necessary session tokens.

Article VIII. External Vendor Privacy Documentation.

Where third-party measurement mechanisms operate pursuant to granted consent, their collection, storage, and retention practices are governed by the respective providers' formal privacy statements.
