Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 16, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners about how their sites are being used.
Cookies are stored in your browser's file directory. When you return to a website, your browser reads the cookie and sends the information back to the server that originally issued the cookie. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or previous actions.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but the data they collect may be combined with other information that could identify you as an individual. We are committed to using cookies responsibly and in accordance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which governs fair and transparent data practices at the federal level.
2. How Do Cookies Work?
When you first visit pizza-via313.world, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this file and associates it with our website. Each time you return to our website, your browser will send the relevant cookies back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and tailor your experience accordingly.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting — these are called first-party cookies. Cookies can also be set by other organizations whose services appear on that page — these are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies come from partners such as Google, Facebook, or other advertising and analytics providers.
There are also two categories based on duration:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain on your device only while your browser is open. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type and the purpose it serves.
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly, and services you have requested — such as placing a food order or accessing secure areas of the site — cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information, and they cannot be switched off in our systems.
Essential cookies are used to:
- Maintain your session as you navigate from page to page
- Remember items you have added to your cart or order
- Ensure security and prevent fraudulent activity
- Enable core website functionality and navigation
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. 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 website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics tool. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit, how long they spend on each page, and what website they came from before arriving at ours.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies allow us to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or other site preferences. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Functional cookies are used to:
- Remember your location preferences for local restaurant recommendations
- Store your display preferences and accessibility settings
- Recall your previously viewed menu items or favorites
- Enable features like live chat and customer support tools
3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies (also known as targeting or marketing cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.
We use Google Ads and may use Meta (Facebook) Pixel for targeted advertising. These cookies track your activity across websites and help us show you relevant ads for Via 313 on other platforms you visit.

5.3 Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, we encourage you to use the opt-out tools listed above to manage your tracking preferences directly with third-party providers.
6. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies at any time, doing so may have a significant impact on your experience when using our website. Below is a summary of potential consequences depending on which type of cookies you disable:

|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | The website may not function correctly. You may be unable to complete food orders, maintain your session, or access secure sections of the site. Core features will be unavailable or broken. |
| Analytics Cookies | We will not be able to collect aggregated data about how visitors use our site. This limits our ability to improve website performance and user experience. There is no direct impact on your browsing experience. |
| Functional Cookies | Personalization features may be lost. Your location, language, or display preferences will not be saved between visits, and you may need to re-enter them each time you return to the site. |
| Advertising Cookies | You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not prevent advertising — it only affects the targeting and personalization of the ads displayed. |
