Last Updated: May 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizzana. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website at pizzana-meal.digital, including those who browse our menu, place online food orders, or interact with any other features on our platform. We encourage you to read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

If you have any questions about how we use cookies or wish to exercise your rights under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, 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 operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect analytical and marketing data.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes those cookies. Cookies perform various functions, such as remembering your preferences, keeping you logged in, and helping website operators understand how visitors interact with their content.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. For more information on how we handle personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit our website, your browser receives one or more cookies from our web server or from third-party services integrated into our website. Your browser stores these cookies locally. On subsequent visits, your browser automatically sends the relevant cookies back to the server, which allows the website to recognize your device and recall information about your previous session.

Cookies can be classified based on their lifespan:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser or end your browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (specified in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

Cookies can also be classified based on their origin:

  • First-Party Cookies: Cookies set directly by Pizzana when you visit our website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by a domain other than Pizzana, typically placed by third-party services such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or social media platforms that we have integrated into our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed description of each category and the purpose they serve.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms, or adding items to your online order cart. Without these cookies, certain features of our website would not function correctly.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can configure your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may not function as a result.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits to our website and track traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and whether users encounter any error messages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how our customers use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of the website, including your IP address, which is anonymized before being stored by Google.

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 integrated into our pages. These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, your location, and other customizable settings, to provide a more personalized experience.

If you choose to disable functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be diminished.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are placed on your device 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 work by 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 integrate with other advertising platforms to deliver relevant promotions about Pizzana's food offerings to you across the web. These cookies track your browsing habits and allow us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do our best to honor such signals where feasible, but we cannot guarantee that all third-party services integrated into our website will respond to DNT requests.
