This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on pizzanapizza.digital, and what choices you have regarding their use.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect and use personal data. Together, these documents form our commitment to your privacy and data rights under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing fair and transparent business practices.

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 owners to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you visit the same website, the browser sends this cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or previous actions.
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, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit pizzanapizza.digital for the first time, our server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back to our server each time you return. This process allows us to:
- Remember your preferences and settings
- Keep you logged in to your account (if applicable)
- Understand how you navigate our website
- Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- Personalize your experience based on your browsing history
- Maintain your shopping cart items if you place an order online
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
Cookies can be categorized by how long they remain on your device:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Session cookies are typically used for essential website functions such as maintaining your session as you navigate between pages.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by an expiration date) or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits and for analytics and advertising purposes.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Pizzana uses the following categories of cookies on pizzanapizza.digital:
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionalities such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, the website cannot function correctly, and services you have requested cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of these cookies through our cookie settings, as they are required for the website to operate.
Essential cookies help with tasks such as:
- Enabling you to navigate between pages without losing your session
- Storing your order details during the checkout process
- Providing security features to protect your account and transactions
- Remembering items in your cart during your browsing session
3.2 Functional / Preference Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, these cookies remember your language preference, your location (to show nearby Pizzana locations), and other customizations you have applied. The information these cookies collect is typically anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, and whether visitors receive error messages from certain pages. These cookies help us improve how our website works and provide a better user experience. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks, including Google Ads, with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and may share this information with other organizations, such as advertisers.

- Complete an online order or reservation
