Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 20, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizzana's Cookie Policy. At Pizzana, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your interactions with our website. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what choices you have regarding their use, and how they affect your experience on our website.
This policy applies to all users who visit pizz-pizzana.click, regardless of how you access or use the website. We encourage you to read this policy carefully and to regularly check this page for any updates or changes. By using our website after any such changes are posted, you agree to the updated Cookie Policy.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please do not hesitate to contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy.
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 and operators to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to collect analytical and behavioral data about visitors.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and sent to your browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge). Your browser stores the cookies and sends them back to the web server each time you visit that website again. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or previous actions.
Cookies do not typically contain personal information that directly identifies you, but the information they store can be linked to personal information we hold about you or that we receive from third parties. Cookies cannot install malware or viruses on your device and are not programs — they are simply small files containing data.
2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
Cookies can be classified in several ways. One common distinction is between session cookies and persistent cookies:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your web browser. They are used to keep track of your movements from page to page within a website so that you do not have to provide the same information repeatedly during a single visit.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after you close your browser and are activated again each time you visit the website that created that cookie. Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits and can remain on your device for varying durations — from days to years, depending on the cookie's purpose.
2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
- First-Party Cookies: These are cookies that are set directly by Pizzana (the website you are visiting). They are primarily used to improve your experience on our website and to remember your preferences.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than the one you are currently visiting. They are typically placed by third-party services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. These cookies allow those third parties to recognize your device across different websites and to collect data for purposes such as analytics and targeted advertising.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several different types of cookies on our website, each serving a distinct purpose. These categories are based on the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) cookie classification framework and are widely recognized in the United States and internationally.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate, and services you have requested — such as browsing our menu, placing an online order, or accessing account features — cannot be delivered.
These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they do not require your consent under applicable laws and cannot be disabled through our cookie management settings.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They help us measure the number of visitors to our site, how visitors navigate through the pages, which pages are most visited, and what content is most engaging. This information allows us to continually improve the performance and usability of our website.
We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website is generally transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made (such as your preferred language or region, your location, or your login information) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, font, and other parts of the web pages that you can customize. 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. Quite often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by these third-party organizations.
We use Google Ads (Google Advertising) for our advertising activities. These cookies help us measure the performance of our ad campaigns and deliver relevant ads on Google's partner websites and services.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
In the United States, the use of cookies is governed primarily by the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) and, for residents of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). We are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the use of cookies and tracking technologies.
Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to know about the personal information collected through cookies, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of such information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising their privacy rights. If you are a California resident, please refer to our full Privacy Policy for more information about your rights under California law.
For essential cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website. For all other cookies — including analytics, functional, and advertising cookies — we rely on your consent, which you provide by accepting our cookie notice when you first visit our website.
6. How to Manage and Control Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. We provide several ways for you to manage your cookie preferences:
6.1 Cookie Consent Tool
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline different categories of cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Settings" link available at the bottom of our website. Please note that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to your withdrawal.
6.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Settings," or "Preferences" menu of your browser. Below are links to instructions for managing cookies in the most common browsers:

6.3 Opt-Out Tools Provided by Third Parties
Several of our third-party service providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms. We encourage you to use these tools to manage your preferences with those specific services:
Third-Party Opt-Out Links

6.4 Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. There is currently no universal standard for interpreting DNT signals, and our website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, we provide other means for you to manage your cookie preferences as described in this section.
7. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies at any time, it is important to understand the potential impact this may have on your experience when using our website. Below, we outline the possible effects of disabling different categories of cookies:
7.1 Disabling Essential Cookies
Because essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, disabling them is generally not possible through our cookie management tool. If you choose to block all cookies through your browser settings (including essential cookies), significant portions of our website may not function correctly. You may be unable to place online orders, access your account, complete payment transactions, or use other core features of our food ordering platform.
7.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies
If you choose to disable analytics cookies, we will no longer be able to collect data about your visit to our website. This means we will have less information available to improve the website's performance and content based on user behavior. Your experience on the website will generally not be affected by disabling analytics cookies, but we will lose valuable insights that help us make our website better for all users.
7.3 Disabling Functional Cookies
Disabling functional cookies may result in a reduced quality of experience on our website. Features such as saved preferences, personalized content, and remembered cart items may not work correctly. You may need to re-enter your preferences every time you visit, and some personalized features of our online menu and ordering system may not be available.
7.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies
If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements when browsing the internet, but those advertisements will be less relevant to your interests because they will no longer be personalized based on your browsing behavior. Disabling advertising cookies will not reduce the number of ads you see — it will only make them less targeted to your preferences.
8. Cookies and Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information through our website, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take steps to remove such information and ensure that appropriate parental consent mechanisms are in place.
9. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We reserve the right to update or modify this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in our cookie practices, legal requirements, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of our website following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.
