Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 3, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to pizzana-cafe.digital (the "Website"), operated by Pizzana ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our Website, and the choices you have regarding their use.

By continuing to browse and use our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) — we will seek your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

2. What Are Cookies?

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

Cookies perform several important functions:

  • They remember your preferences — such as your language settings, items in a shopping cart, or login status — so you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit.
  • They help websites load faster by storing certain elements locally on your device.
  • They allow website owners to analyze how visitors interact with their site, helping improve usability and content.
  • They enable targeted advertising by tracking browsing activity across websites to show you relevant ads.

Cookies are not programs or viruses. They cannot run code or deliver malware to your device. They are simply small data files that serve the functional purposes described above.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by pizzana-cafe.digital and can only be read by our Website. They are generally used for core functionality and user preference storage.

Third-party cookies are set by external service providers (such as Google Analytics or advertising networks) whose code or content we include on our Website. These third parties may also be able to read their cookies on other websites that use the same services.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain a continuous browsing session.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by an expiry date) even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on pizzana-cafe.digital into four main types:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are indispensable for the basic functionality of our Website. Without them, certain services or features you have requested cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary for the Website to function, they do not require your consent.

Essential cookies allow you to:

  • Navigate between pages without losing your session information
  • Use our online ordering features or contact forms securely
  • Access secure areas of the Website
  • Remember items you have added to an order basket

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter any errors. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous; it does not identify individual visitors. We use this data solely to improve the performance and usability of our Website.

We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics platform. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymized information about your usage of our Website. For more information about how Google uses this data, visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not permit these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) with the Website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, sharing personal information with advertising networks for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. California residents have the right to opt out of such activities. Please see Section 6 for opt-out options.

Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. At this time, there is no uniform technical standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals across the internet. We currently do not alter our data collection and use practices in response to DNT browser signals. However, we remain committed to complying with applicable privacy laws, including the opt-out rights described in this policy.

6. Your Rights Under U.S. Law

  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential / Strictly Necessary The Website may not function correctly. You may be unable to complete online orders, use contact forms, or navigate securely between pages. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
