1. Introduction

Welcome to Imos Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website, pizzs-imos.rest. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what data they collect, and how you can control or disable them.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website, regardless of location. If you are a resident of California, please note that your cookie-related rights may also be governed by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which grant you additional rights regarding personal information collected through cookies.

We encourage you to read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us using the contact information provided at the end of this document.

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 to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide website owners with analytical information about how visitors interact with their site.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the browser, where they are stored locally on your device. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember your preferences or activities.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that website (known as third-party cookies). Both types may collect different categories of information, depending on their purpose.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pizzs-imos.rest, our web server may send a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this small file on your device. The next time you visit our website, the browser sends the stored cookie back to our server. This process allows our website to:

  • Remember your login status and preferences
  • Keep track of items you have added to an order or cart
  • Analyze how you navigate through our pages
  • Deliver relevant advertising content
  • Improve the overall performance and functionality of our website

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies are temporary cookies that are erased from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the website.

Persistent Cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They help our website remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

At Imos Pizza, we use several categories of cookies on pizzs-imos.rest. Each category serves a different purpose, as explained below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. Without them, certain services and features — such as placing an online food order, navigating between pages, or accessing secure areas — would not be available. Essential cookies do not collect any information that could be used for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your ability to use our site.

These cookies are placed in accordance with our legitimate interests and are not subject to your consent under applicable law, as they are strictly necessary for the delivery of our services.

3.2 Analytical / Performance Cookies

Analytical cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, identify popular pages, and understand where our traffic comes from so we can improve the performance and user experience of pizzs-imos.rest.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user behavior across our website. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized and does not identify individual users.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to remember choices you make — such as your location, preferred menu items, or language settings — to provide a more personalized and convenient experience. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our website.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They track your browsing activity across websites and are typically placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) with our permission. These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and prevent the same ad from being shown to you too many times.

Under the FTC Act and applicable United States consumer protection laws, we are required to be transparent about our use of advertising cookies and to provide you with meaningful options to opt out.
