1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Inn ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, food-innpizza.rest. This policy is intended to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with 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, our data practices are guided by applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, among other relevant regulations.

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 their websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and are delivered to your browser. When you return to a website that has previously set a cookie, the browser sends that cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visit, such as your preferences, items in your shopping cart, or login status.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but the information they store can be combined with other data we hold about you to build a more complete profile of your browsing habits and preferences.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit food-innpizza.rest for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. Each cookie contains a unique identifier that allows the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits. The cookie stores information such as:

  • Your language and regional preferences
  • Items you have placed in your online order or shopping cart
  • Login status and session information
  • Pages you have visited and content you have interacted with
  • Technical information about your device and browser

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that provide functionality on our website, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies").

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to track your interactions with our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A mechanism for storing data in your browser that persists even after the browser session ends.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but only persists for the duration of your browser session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small snippets of code that track user behavior and interactions on our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on food-innpizza.rest. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested cannot be provided, and our website cannot function as intended.

Essential cookies do not require your consent under most legal frameworks because they are strictly necessary for the delivery of the service you have requested. However, we still include them here for full transparency.

Examples of essential cookie functions include:

  • Maintaining your session when you log in to your account
  • Remembering items in your online food order during checkout
  • Ensuring security features work correctly to protect your data
  • Load balancing to ensure the website performs consistently

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are most frequently visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify individual users.

We use this information to understand how our website is performing, identify areas for improvement, and make informed decisions about our content and digital marketing strategies. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, your location for local restaurant suggestions, or your pizza order history so that future orders are faster and more convenient.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website. If you disable functional cookies, some features of our website may not work as intended, and your experience may be less personalized.

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 our advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

These cookies track your browsing activity across our website and other websites, building a profile of your interests. This profile is then used to display targeted advertisements on other websites you visit. We use Google Ads and may also use social media advertising platforms such as Facebook (Meta) for this purpose.
