Last Updated: July 18, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Inn's Cookie Policy. At Pizza Inn, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and should be read in conjunction with it.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website at pizzainncafe.click and explains in plain language what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage or disable them. We respect your right to privacy and want to ensure you have all the information necessary to make informed choices about your online experience with us.

As a food service business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable U.S. privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on consumer protection and digital transparency.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function properly, work more efficiently, and provide reporting information about user activity.

Cookies are created by your web browser and stored on your device. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the website's server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your language preferences, items in your cart, or whether you are logged in.

Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but when combined with other data we hold, they may allow us to identify you as an individual user. Cookies cannot install malware or viruses on your device, and they cannot access any other data on your device beyond what was placed in the cookie itself.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit pizzainncafe.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you make a subsequent request to our server, your browser sends the cookie back to us, allowing our systems to recognize your device and tailor your experience accordingly. Cookies may be either "session cookies" — which expire when you close your browser — or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email open rates.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when your browser session ends.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about your interaction with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four primary categories of cookies on the Pizza Inn website. Each serves a distinct purpose, and we provide full details below:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, core features such as secure login, shopping cart functionality, and page navigation would not work. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our services, they cannot be disabled through our cookie preference settings. However, you may be able to disable them through your browser settings, though this will significantly impair your ability to use our website.

Essential cookies allow you to:

  • Navigate between pages without losing your session data
  • Access secure areas of the website
  • Complete online food orders and reservations
  • Remember items added to your shopping cart or order
  • Maintain security settings and detect fraudulent activity

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are most frequently visited, how long users spend on each page, and any error messages users may encounter. All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. This information helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of our website.

We primarily use Google Analytics to collect this type of data, which is one of the most widely used web analytics platforms. Google Analytics places several cookies on your device to track your browsing behavior on our site.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your location, preferred language, or whether you have already been shown a particular notification or pop-up. Functional cookies are not essential for the website to work, but they significantly improve your experience when browsing Pizza Inn's website.

Information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you. They track your browsing habits across different websites to build a profile of your interests and show you targeted ads. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook).

We use the Google Ads conversion tracking cookie (_gcl_au) to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to understand which ads bring visitors to our website. These cookies do not store directly identifiable personal information, but they do create a unique identifier associated with your browser.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you are free to disable or restrict cookies at any time, please be aware that doing so may have a significant impact on your experience when using pizzainncafe.click. The specific effects depend on which type of cookies you disable:

Cookie Type Impact if Disabled
Essential Cookies Core website functions will not work. You will be unable to place orders, log in, or maintain a shopping cart. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.

Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be generic and less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not reduce the number of ads you see, only their relevance.

8. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding the personal data collected through cookies. In particular:

  • California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, request deletion of your data, opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data, and request correction of inaccurate data.

We do not sell your personal information as defined under applicable U.S. privacy laws.

You have the right to opt out of this sharing by adjusting your cookie preferences or using the opt-out tools listed in Section 6.3.
