Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Imos Pizza. 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 cookie preferences. This policy applies to all pages and services available through imosspizz.rest.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website. Together, these documents explain how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act).

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, you can contact us at any time using the contact details 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 internet-connected device when you visit a website. These files are created by the website's server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. When you revisit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember information about your previous visit.

Cookies serve many purposes. They help websites function correctly, remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and provide website owners with valuable data about how visitors interact with their content. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They are simply data files that store information in a structured format.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit imosspizz.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your device's browser. This cookie may contain a unique identifier, along with other data such as the date and time of your visit, pages you viewed, or items you added to your cart. The next time you visit our site, your browser automatically sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you as a returning visitor and tailor your experience accordingly.

Some cookies are set by us directly (called "first-party cookies"), while others are set by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms (called "third-party cookies"). Both types may collect information about your browsing behavior, device, and location.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track user interactions.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device without an expiration date.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when you close your browser tab.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small snippets of code that collect information about your behavior on our website.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A method of identifying devices based on their unique configuration and characteristics.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and its purpose.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also called "strictly necessary cookies") are required for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our website would not work as intended. These cookies do not collect any information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your experience on our site.

Essential cookies are used for purposes such as:

  • Maintaining your session as you navigate through the website
  • Remembering items in your online order cart
  • Ensuring secure login and authentication
  • Enabling the website to load correctly on your device
  • Processing online food orders and payments

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, location, or delivery address, so you don't have to re-enter this information every time you visit.

Examples of functional cookies include:

  • Remembering your preferred pizza size or crust type
  • Storing your delivery address for faster checkout
  • Remembering your login details so you don't have to sign in every visit
  • Saving your language and accessibility preferences

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about the pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, any errors you encounter, and how you arrived at our site. This data helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of our website.

We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used analytics services on the internet. Google Analytics collects data anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the tools described in Section 6 of this policy.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called "targeting cookies") are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They track your browsing habits across websites and are typically placed by advertising networks with our permission. These cookies remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with third parties such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to promote Imos Pizza's products and services. These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and ensure that we display relevant promotions to you when you visit other websites.
