Cookie Policy
Last Updated: May 16, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizzana. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control and manage your cookie preferences when visiting pizzanameal.rest.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We encourage you to review this page periodically. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners and third-party service providers to make websites function efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Pizzana — are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when you visit our website and when you visit certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit a website for the first time, a cookie is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit the same website, your device checks whether it has a cookie associated with that site. If it does, your device sends the stored information back to the website. This allows the website to recognize your browser and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, or shopping cart contents.
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate from page to page on our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that track when a page is accessed or an email is opened.
- Local Storage: A form of web storage that allows websites to store data locally on your browser with no expiration date.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
- JavaScript Tags: Snippets of code embedded in our website to collect information about user behavior and interactions.
For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all references to "cookies" include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use cookies for several different reasons. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "Essential" or "Strictly Necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.
3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account authentication. You cannot opt out of these cookies, as disabling them would render our website inoperable. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary for the operation of the website.
Essential cookies are used to:
- Maintain your session as you move between pages
- Remember items you have added to your online order or cart
- Authenticate your identity when you log into your account
- Ensure the security of the website and prevent fraudulent use
- Remember your cookie consent preferences
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These 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 website, and whether they encounter any error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies are used to:
- Remember your language and region preferences
- Remember your login details so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit
- Personalize content based on your previous interactions with our website
- Enable embedded content such as maps for restaurant locations
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
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. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
We work with advertising partners such as Google Ads and may use retargeting technologies to serve relevant ads to users who have previously visited our website. These technologies enable our advertising partners to show you Pizzana advertisements when you visit other websites across the internet.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable certain cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our website. The specific impacts depend on which category of cookies you choose to disable:
7.1 Disabling Essential Cookies
Essential cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tool, as they are strictly necessary for the website to function. Blocking these cookies through your browser settings, however, may result in:
- Inability to log in to your account
- Loss of items in your online order or shopping cart
- Inability to complete an online food order
- Reduced security when accessing your account
- Inability to access certain secure areas of the website
7.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies
If you disable analytics cookies, we will be unable to collect information about how you use our website. This means we cannot improve the performance, content, or usability of our site based on your interactions. Your experience will not be significantly degraded, but you will be contributing less to our efforts to improve the website for all users.

Disabling functional cookies may result in:

If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same advertisements repeatedly, and you may be shown advertisements for products or services that are not relevant to you. Disabling advertising cookies does not mean you will see fewer advertisements overall.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.
9. Children's Privacy
Our website is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13.
