Last Updated: April 22, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizzana ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website pizz-pizzana.digital. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and giving you meaningful control over your data.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. As a business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing unfair or deceptive practices.
By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy and agree to the use of cookies as described herein. If you do not agree to the use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or refrain from using our website.
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 by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and gather information about how users interact with the site.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts a website and are sent to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie as a small file and sends it back to the server each time you visit the same website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies serve a variety of purposes, including:
- Keeping you logged in to your account
- Remembering items in your shopping cart or order preferences
- Recognizing your preferred language, location, or settings
- Helping us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
- Delivering relevant advertisements and marketing content
- Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, session storage, and scripts. These technologies function similarly to cookies and may be used in combination with cookies to improve the performance and personalization of our website.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and some are strictly necessary for the functioning of our site, while others are optional and can be controlled by you.
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies (also called "strictly necessary" cookies) are required for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of the site cannot function properly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your experience on our site.
Examples of what essential cookies do on our site:
- Maintain your session as you navigate between pages
- Enable secure login and authentication where applicable
- Store your cookie consent preferences
- Support online ordering and food menu functionality
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and any error messages they encounter. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify individual users. We use this information to continuously improve our website's performance and content.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user behavior and generates reports that help us understand website traffic patterns.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your location to show relevant restaurant hours, remember your food preferences, or store items you've previously viewed. These cookies do not track your browsing activity across other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies (also called targeting 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. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook).
These cookies may track your browsing habits across different websites to build a profile of your interests and show you targeted advertisements. You have the right to opt out of this type of tracking, and we provide guidance on how to do so in Section 5 of this policy.
