Welcome to Pizzana's Cookie Policy. Pizzana operates the website pizza-pizzana.click and is committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy is part of our broader commitment to your privacy and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our website, whether you are browsing our menu, placing an online order, or simply visiting our pages. We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, serve relevant advertisements, and provide certain features that make our website function properly.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our data practices, please contact us at [email protected].

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 more efficiently, improve user experiences, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies generally do not contain any information that personally identifies you directly, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pizza-pizzana.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows our website to recognize your device and remember certain preferences or actions you have taken.

Cookies can store a variety of information, including:

  • Your language preferences and regional settings
  • Items you have added to your shopping cart or order
  • Login status and authentication tokens
  • Pages you have visited and how long you spent on each page
  • How you arrived at our website (e.g., through a search engine or advertisement)
  • Your device type, browser type, and operating system

2.2 Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user behavior and email open rates.
  • Local Storage: A web storage technology that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, which persists even after you close your browser.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when you close your browser tab.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your interactions with our website.

These cookies may be set through our website 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.
