1. Introduction

Welcome to Piada's Cookie Policy. This document provides detailed information about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at piadakitchen.click. We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it to enhance your online experience with our food services.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

Our use of cookies is governed by applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), and where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make their websites work, improve functionality, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Piada) 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.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or previous interactions.

Cookies can store a variety of information, including your preferences, login status, items in your shopping cart, and pages you have visited. Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them (persistent cookies).

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user behavior and email open rates.
  • Local Storage: A technology that allows websites to store data in your browser beyond the duration of a single session.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • JavaScript Tags: Snippets of JavaScript code that collect information about user interactions with our website.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A technique that uses the unique characteristics of your device to identify and track it across websites.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as they are necessary for the website to function properly.

Essential cookies allow you to navigate our website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website, adding items to your order, and completing transactions. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as placing a food order, cannot be provided.

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 and how visitors move around the site.

We use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages they visit most often, how long they spend on each page, and whether they receive error messages from web pages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information to improve how our website works and to understand visitor behavior.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

Functional cookies may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same advertisement from continuously reappearing, ensuring that advertisements are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

Advertising cookies are set by us or our advertising partners and may be used 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.
