Welcome to Pizzana. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on our website located at eat-pizzana.rest, and what 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 Cookie Policy, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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 by website owners to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable certain functionality.
Cookies are not harmful to your device. They do not contain viruses or malware. Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Instead, they store small pieces of data that allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Pizzana — are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit our site using the same device, the website checks whether you have one of its cookies and uses the information to tailor your experience. Cookies typically store preferences and settings, help with sign-in, provide targeted advertising, and analyze site operations.
Most cookies contain a unique identifier called a cookie ID — a string of characters that websites and servers associate with the browser on which the cookie is stored. This allows websites to distinguish your browser from other browsers that have accessed the website and to recognize you during subsequent visits.
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are used to carry information across pages of our website to avoid having to re-enter information.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. They help remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Pizzana uses several categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms, placing an online order, or navigating between pages. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not work without them.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are required for the basic functionality of our website, including the online ordering system for our food services.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help analyze how users interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit our website, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other websites they used prior to coming to our website.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We use Google Ads and may use similar advertising platforms to promote our food services to relevant audiences.

8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the tools listed in this policy to manage your cookie preferences and opt out of certain types of tracking.
9. Cookies and California Privacy Rights
