Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 22, 2026

1. 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. These files are stored in your browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and browsing behavior.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are delivered to your browser. The browser stores cookies for a specified period of time, and each time you return to the website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to remember your preferences and provide a more personalized and efficient experience.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not programs and cannot be used to spread viruses or access your hard drive.

2. How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit our website at via313-pizza.digital, cookies are downloaded to your device. The next time you visit the site from the same device, the browser checks to see if it has any cookies that are relevant to our site. If it does, the browser sends these cookies back to our server. This allows us to recognize your device and tailor the content and functionality to your preferences.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by other websites whose services are used on that page ("third-party cookies"). We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website.

There are two main types of cookies based on their lifespan:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your activity during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you manually delete them. They allow websites to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

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

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. They help us remember your preferences as you move from page to page and ensure that your session remains active. Essential cookies are required for the proper operation of our online ordering system, shopping cart, and account management features.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics 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, how visitors move around our site, and where visitors are coming from. 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 visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is transmitted to Google.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

For our food ordering platform, functional cookies remember your location preferences, delivery address details, favorite menu items, and language settings to provide you with a better and more convenient ordering experience.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and measure the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. These cookies cannot gather information from other websites you visit that do not use the same services.
