Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 3, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizzana ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzana-cafe.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.

By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where applicable law requires your consent before we place certain cookies on your device, we will ask for that consent explicitly.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other tracking technologies, please contact us at [email protected].

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 their websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and deliver reporting information.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are embedded on the page, such as advertising networks or analytics providers ("third-party cookies"). Cookies do not contain your name or personal details like credit card information; instead, they typically store a unique identifier that helps the website recognize your device on return visits.

How Cookies Work

When you visit pizzana-cafe.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. On your next visit, your browser sends this cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and recall your preferences. This process helps create a smoother, more personalized browsing experience — for example, remembering items in your order basket or keeping you logged into your account.

Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track whether an email has been opened or a page visited.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity and no automatic expiration.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared once your browser session ends.
  • Scripts: Code snippets that collect information about how you interact with our website.

This Cookie Policy applies to all of these technologies collectively.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on pizzana-cafe.rest into four main types based on their purpose:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms, or placing an online order. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they do not require your consent under applicable US law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). However, you can still block them through your browser settings, though this may affect website functionality.

3.2 Analytics & 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 understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors navigate the site, and whether users encounter any errors. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google may transfer data to its servers in the United States or other countries. For more information, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our 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. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly. Examples include remembering your language preference, your region, or display settings you have chosen.

3.4 Advertising & 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 directly store 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 conversion tracking and remarketing features. These are governed by Google's advertising policies and applicable US advertising laws, including guidelines issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
