Effective Date: March 25, 2026  |  Last Updated: March 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizzana. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy on pizzanapizza.rest, and the choices you have regarding their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

We operate in the United States and comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection and transparency in online data practices, as well as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for users who are California residents.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

When you visit pizzanapizza.rest, our web server sends a cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences, items in your cart, or your login status.

Cookies themselves do not contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, they may be linked to personal data we already hold about you. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.

2.1 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies to track your activity on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand how users interact with our content.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond what cookies can hold.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when your browser session ends.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code embedded on our website that collect data about your interaction with our pages.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. How We Use Cookies

Pizzana uses cookies for a variety of purposes that are essential to delivering a high-quality, personalized, and secure experience on our website. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Enable core website functionality, such as your ability to browse our menu, place orders, and navigate between pages.
  • Remember your preferences, such as your selected location, language settings, or saved items.
  • Keep you logged in to your account securely during your session.
  • Analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve our content, layout, and services.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on pizzanapizza.rest into four main types:

4.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without them, you would not be able to use core features like navigating the site, placing an order, or completing a transaction. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your experience.

Legal basis: These cookies are deployed based on our legitimate interest in providing you with a functioning website and, where applicable, to fulfill a contract with you (e.g., processing your food order).

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors stay, what links are clicked, and whether users encounter any error messages. This data helps us understand user behavior and continuously improve the performance and content of our website. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose, which is one of the most widely used website analytics platforms in the world.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your location for delivery purposes, your food preferences, or whether you have accepted our cookie policy. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
