Cookie Policy
Last Updated: May 28, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizzana ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website located at food-pizzana.digital, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. When you visit food-pizzana.digital, we may collect information from you automatically using cookies and similar tracking technologies. This document provides detailed information about these practices so you can make informed decisions about your privacy.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.
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 — for example, 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 Cookies Work
When you first visit our website, your browser downloads a cookie from our server or a third-party server. This cookie is stored locally on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your browser and remember information about you and your preferences. This communication happens automatically and invisibly in the background.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small electronic files (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us to count users who have visited certain pages and for other related website statistics.
- Local Storage: A web storage technology that allows websites to store data persistently in your browser without an expiration date.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
- JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about your interactions with our website.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for several important reasons:
- To ensure our website functions correctly and securely
- To remember your preferences and settings
- To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- To deliver relevant advertising and promotional content
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- To provide a personalized experience when you order food from us
- To prevent fraud and protect the security of our online ordering system
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use into four main types:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website 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, or placing a food order. Without these cookies, certain services you have asked for cannot be provided.
These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are generally first-party cookies.
4.2 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 to 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 site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
4.3 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. They allow us to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
4.4 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.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may affect your experience on our website in the following ways:
8.1 Essential Cookies
If you disable essential cookies, core functionality of our website will be impaired. Specifically, you may:
- Be unable to place food orders through our online ordering system

- Experience issues with our secure checkout and payment processing
- Be unable to log in to your account or access account features
- Be exposed to reduced security protections (such as CSRF prevention)

9. California Privacy Rights and Cookies
If you are a resident of California, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Some of the information collected through cookies may constitute "personal information" or "sensitive personal information" under these laws.
As a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected about you, including through cookies
- Request deletion of personal information collected through cookies
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
- Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights
- Use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf
Sharing data through advertising cookies (such as those used by Google Ads and Facebook) may constitute "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA. You can opt out of such sharing by using our cookie consent tool or by submitting a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" request to us at [email protected].
We also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of sale/sharing of personal information as required by California law.
10. Federal Compliance and FTC Guidelines
Our use of cookies and tracking technologies complies with applicable federal laws and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, including the FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices. We provide clear and conspicuous notice of our tracking practices, obtain consent where required, and offer meaningful choices to users regarding data collection through cookies.
We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under the age of 13 in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
11. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.
While we currently do not respond to DNT browser signals in a standardized way, we do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which is a legally recognized opt-out mechanism under California law. If your browser is configured to send a GPC signal, we will treat this as an opt-out from the sale or sharing of your personal information through cookies.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable laws, or other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, notify you via a prominent notice on our website or by email.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of food-pizzana.digital after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
