Last Updated: June 6, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Inn. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your preferences.

This policy applies to all pages and services available through our website pizza-inn.rest and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

As a business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws governing online tracking and data privacy, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act concerning unfair or deceptive practices in commerce.

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 by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

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

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not viruses or malware and cannot access any other information on your device.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit the site from the same device, the browser checks to see if it has a cookie that is relevant to the site. If it does, the browser sends the cookie's data back to the site. The website recognizes your device and uses this information to tailor your browsing experience.

Cookies can remain on your device for varying lengths of time. Session cookies only last for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser session ends and can last for days, months, or even years, depending on their purpose.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A web storage method that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the page session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose in improving your experience and helping us operate our business effectively.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms, or adding items to an online order.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not function properly without them. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

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 site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where users encounter errors.

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Examples include remembering your language preference, your location for delivery purposes, or your customization choices for pizza orders.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies 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.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, which may include data collected through certain advertising cookies.

6.2 Opt-Out Tools for Specific Third Parties

Many third-party advertising and analytics companies provide their own opt-out mechanisms. You can use the following tools to limit the collection of your data by specific providers:

6.3 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools listed above to limit tracking.
