1. Introduction

Welcome to Via 313 ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at pizzas-via313.rest and explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or disable them.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food service business operating in the United States, we adhere to applicable privacy and consumer protection standards, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the FTC Act.

Please read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you can adjust your browser settings or use the opt-out tools described in this document. However, please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on our website.

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 to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide website operators with information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are stored in your browser's designated folder and contain data such as:

  • The name of the server that set the cookie
  • A unique identifier (a string of numbers and letters)
  • An expiration date (after which the cookie is no longer active)
  • Information about your browsing preferences and behavior

When you revisit a website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Via 313 on pizzas-via313.rest. These cookies are used to improve your experience and help us understand how you interact with our website.

Third-party cookies are set by external services and partners (such as Google or Meta/Facebook) that provide features or analytics on our website. These third parties may use the data collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate our website.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you delete them manually). They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.
