Welcome to Pizza Inn. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use on our website (pizzainn-meal.click), how we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional context about how we process your personal information. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

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, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized experiences.

Cookies are created by the web server and stored on your device by your web browser. Every time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.

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 can be "first-party" cookies, which are set by the website you are visiting, or "third-party" cookies, which are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.

2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies can also be classified based on their duration:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate our website, for example, keeping items in your online order cart.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. They help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.

3. How Do Cookies Work on Our Website?

When you visit pizzainn-meal.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit, your browser reads the cookie and sends the information back to our server. This process allows us to:

  • Keep you logged in during your visit

  • Personalize content based on your preferences and location
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Improve the overall performance and user experience of our website
