Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 11, 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, what types of cookies we deploy on pizzana-pizzas.rest, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Together, these documents form our complete disclosure regarding data collection practices on our website.
By visiting or using our website at pizzana-pizzas.rest, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies as described herein, you have the option to adjust your browser settings or opt out of certain cookies as explained in the sections below.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to website owners about how their sites are being used.
When you visit our website, our server may send a cookie to your device. Your browser stores this file, and the next time you visit our website, your browser sends that cookie back to our server. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, the personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons: Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user activity and engagement.
- Local Storage: A web technology that allows websites to store larger amounts of data on your device compared to cookies.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
- JavaScript Tags: Short snippets of code that can track user behavior and collect analytical data.
For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
3. How Do Cookies Work?
Each cookie contains certain pieces of information, which may include:
- The name of the cookie
- The domain and path of the website that set the cookie
- An expiration date (after which the cookie is no longer sent to the website)
- A unique identifier that allows the website to recognize your browser
Cookies can be classified in two main ways:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your visit to a website. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by the expiration date 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 by their origin:
- First-Party Cookies: Set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, pizzana-pizzas.rest).
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by a domain other than the website you are visiting. These are typically placed by third-party services integrated into our website, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or social media platforms.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our website may not work, and services you have requested, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling out forms, cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes and do not remember where you have been on the internet.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our website and services, you cannot opt out of them through our cookie consent tool. However, you can disable them through your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of our website.
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 understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
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
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. These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference, the region you are in, or your username) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
If you do not allow these cookies, 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, including Google Ads. 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.
