1. Introduction

Welcome to giordanospizza.digital, operated by Giordanos ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on our website, and the choices you have regarding their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website. By accessing and using giordanospizza.digital, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or refrain from using our website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Giordanos) 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 it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

• The name of the server the cookie was sent from
• The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device)
• A value — usually a randomly generated unique number or identifier

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs"), which are tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand how you interact with our content, and local storage technologies, which allow websites to store data locally within your browser.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit giordanospizza.digital for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They allow websites to link your actions during a single browsing session and are used for things like keeping you logged in during a visit.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse our website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site or completing an online order. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as adding items to your cart or remembering your login — cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes and cannot be switched off in our systems.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for instance, which pages visitors go to most often and if they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information to improve how our website works. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preferences, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our 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 for this purpose.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Services

In addition to our own cookies, we allow various third-party services to place cookies on your device when you visit giordanospizza.digital. These include:

6.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use our site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You can learn more about Google's privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

6.2 Google Ads

We use Google Ads to advertise our products and services. Google Ads uses cookies to track conversions and serve relevant advertisements. The _gcl_au cookie is used by Google AdSense to help advertisers understand and improve the performance of their ad campaigns.

6.3 Meta (Facebook) Pixel

We may use the Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel) to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram, and to show you more relevant ads. The _fbp cookie is set by Meta to track visitors across websites for relevant advertising purposes.

6.4 Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager to manage and deploy marketing tags (snippets of code) on our website without modifying the code directly. Google Tag Manager itself does not use cookies that collect personal information; however, it facilitates the firing of other tags which may collect data.
