2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information about how the website is being used.
Cookies are stored in your browser and are sent back to the originating website each time you revisit it, or to any other website that recognizes the same cookie. Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies a user, but any 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 first visit pizzainn-new.rest, our server places a cookie file in your browser. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize your browser and remember certain information, such as your language preferences or the items in your shopping cart.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies").
2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration
- Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Pizza Inn uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type and its purpose.
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of the website — such as adding items to your order, navigating between pages, or accessing secure areas — would not work. Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you can still disable them through your browser settings, though doing so may significantly affect your experience on our site.
Essential cookies do not collect or store any personally identifiable information. They are used solely to enable basic functionality and security features of the website.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This includes data such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit most frequently, and any error messages they may encounter. This information helps us improve the performance and usability of our website.
We use Google Analytics — a web analytics service provided by Google LLC — to collect this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track and report website traffic. The data collected by Google Analytics is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may use this information to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past — such as your preferred language, location, or font size — in order to provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and to show you relevant advertisements across the web, including on Google Search, YouTube, and other websites that participate in Google's advertising network.
