Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2025
We're being straight with you here. When you visit pizzaiolos.top, we use tracking technologies to make things work smoothly and to understand how people interact with our site. This page explains what we track, why we do it, and how you can control what happens with your data.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you browse our website. Think of them as tiny notes that help our site remember things about your visit – like your language preference or items you've looked at. Some stick around for months, others disappear the moment you close your browser.
Beyond cookies, we also use similar technologies like web beacons and local storage. They all serve the same basic purpose: helping our site function properly and giving us insights into how people use it.
The Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are the ones we absolutely need to make the site work. Without them, basic features like secure areas and shopping cart functionality would break. You can't opt out of these because they're fundamental to the site operating.
Examples: Session management, security tokens, load balancing
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. When you return to our site, they help provide a personalized experience based on your previous interactions. They make your life easier by remembering settings like your location or preferred contact method.
Examples: Language settings, form auto-fill data, interface customization
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand which pages get visited most, how long people spend reading content, and where they click. This information helps us improve the site by showing what works and what doesn't. The data gets aggregated, so we're looking at patterns rather than tracking individual behavior.
Examples: Page view tracking, bounce rate analysis, user flow mapping
Marketing Cookies
These track your activity across different websites to build a profile of your interests. They help us show you relevant content and measure how effective our marketing efforts are. You have control over these – you can disable them through your browser settings.
Examples: Ad targeting, conversion tracking, remarketing tags
How We Actually Use This Information
The data we collect through cookies serves several practical purposes:
- Keeping your session active so you don't have to log in repeatedly
- Remembering what you've added to inquiry forms or contact requests
- Understanding which event meal services get the most interest
- Identifying technical issues that might be affecting user experience
- Optimizing our site layout based on how people actually navigate it
- Measuring whether our marketing campaigns reach the right audience
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site come from external services we use. For instance, if we embed a video or use analytics tools, those providers may set their own cookies. We don't control these third-party cookies directly, but we've chosen partners whose privacy practices align with ours.
Common third-party services that may set cookies include analytics platforms, social media widgets, and payment processors. Each has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data.
Cookie Duration and Storage
Different cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose:
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookies | Deleted when you close your browser | Temporary data needed for your current visit |
| Persistent cookies | 1 month to 2 years | Remember preferences and settings across visits |
| Analytics cookies | Up to 2 years | Track long-term usage patterns and trends |
| Marketing cookies | 3 months to 1 year | Measure campaign effectiveness and user interests |
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control. Most browsers let you refuse cookies or delete existing ones. Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how well the site works for you – some features might become unavailable or behave differently.
Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
If you use multiple devices or browsers, you'll need to adjust settings on each one separately. Your preferences don't automatically sync across different platforms.
Mobile Device Tracking
Mobile devices use identifiers similar to cookies. On iOS, you can limit ad tracking through Settings → Privacy → Tracking. Android users can find similar options under Settings → Google → Ads. These controls affect how apps and mobile websites track your activity.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy when we change how we use tracking technologies or when regulations require it. The date at the top shows when we last revised it. Significant changes get communicated through a notice on our homepage, but it's worth checking back occasionally to stay informed.
Your Privacy Rights
Canadian privacy law gives you specific rights regarding your personal data. You can request access to information we've collected, ask us to correct inaccuracies, or request deletion of your data under certain circumstances. Some data we're legally required to retain, but we're transparent about what we keep and why.
To exercise your privacy rights or ask questions about data collection, reach out to us using the contact information below. We respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days.
