Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 10, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizzana. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, your rights to control their use, and how to manage your preferences.

This policy applies to all pages, features, and services available through pizzana-eat.rest. It 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 at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

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

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are embedded in the page ("third-party cookies").

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit pizzana-eat.rest, your browser receives one or more cookies from our server or from third-party servers. These cookies are stored on your device and contain a unique identifier. On subsequent visits, your browser sends this identifier back to our server, allowing us to recognize your session and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be either:

  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that remain on your device only for the duration of your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser, until they expire or you delete them manually.

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and email open rates.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device and browser settings to create a unique identifier.

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

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 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, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, adding items to an online order, or filling out forms. Without these cookies, our website may not work properly.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are exempt from consent requirements under applicable laws.

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 understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around our site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to improve the way our website works and to enhance your browsing experience.

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.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These 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. They remember choices you make, such as your language preferences, your location, or your preferred content, to provide a more personalized experience.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site 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 sites. 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 other advertising platforms that may place cookies to track conversions and serve personalized advertisements related to Pizzana's food offerings and promotions.

6.4 Do Not Track Signals
