Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 4, 2026

1. Introduction

Via 313 operates the website via313-pizza.click and is committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what data they collect, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

2. 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 by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Via 313) 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. Each time you return to our website, or visit a page that uses the same cookie, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, items in a shopping cart, or browsing behavior.

Cookies may store a wide range of information, including personal information such as your name or email address — but only if you provide that information to us. It is important to note that websites cannot access information stored in cookies set by other websites, and a cookie can only be read by the website or domain that set it.

2.2 Other 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 (often invisible) embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a user has visited a particular web page or opened an email.
  • Local Storage: A method of storing data locally within your browser, which allows data to persist even after the browser is closed and reopened.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is only retained for the duration of your browser session and is deleted when you close your browser.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our website that collect information about your browsing behavior and interactions.

For simplicity, all of these technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use based on their purpose and function. The four main categories are described below:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law because they are strictly necessary for the delivery of a service you have requested. They do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for the website to function properly.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. This information is processed in a way that does not identify anyone individually. We do not permit Google to use or share our analytics data for any other purpose than providing analytics services to us.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or other settings, to improve your experience on our website. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and to show you relevant advertising across the Google Display Network. These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and ensure that you see ads that are relevant to your interests. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, but you will still see advertisements — they just may not be as relevant to you.

5. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for strictly necessary cookies). You can exercise your cookie preferences through the following methods:

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. The following links provide instructions for managing cookies in the most commonly used browsers:

Please note that if you choose to block cookies through your browser settings, you may not be able to access all or parts of our website, and some features may not function properly.

5.2 Opt-Out Tools Provided by Third Parties

In addition to browser-level cookie controls, you can opt out of specific third-party cookies using the tools provided by those companies:

5.3 Mobile Device Settings

If you access our website via a mobile device, you can also control advertising identifiers through your device's operating system settings:

  • iOS (Apple): Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, and toggle off "Allow Apps to Request to Track."
  • Android (Google): Go to Settings > Google > Ads, and select "Opt out of Ads Personalization" or "Delete advertising ID."

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to restrict or block cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our website. Below is a summary of what may happen if you disable each type of cookie:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Core website functionality may break. You may not be able to navigate the website properly, access secure areas, complete online orders, or use basic features. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect data about how you use our website. This will not impact your experience directly, but it will limit our ability to improve the website based on visitor behavior. Aggregate website performance data will be less accurate.
Functional Cookies The website will still work, but your personalization preferences will not be saved between visits. You may need to re-enter your preferences (such as language or region settings) each time you visit the website.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be generic and less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies will not eliminate advertising — it will simply make the ads you see less targeted and potentially less useful to you.

7. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

We operate primarily in the United States and comply with applicable federal and state laws regarding cookies and online tracking, including but not limited to:

  • The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which grant California residents specific rights regarding their personal information, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
  • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in connection with data collection and use.
  • The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which restricts the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13.

For users who access our website from the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for placing non-essential cookies on your device, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR.

For users in California, you have the right to opt out of the "sharing" of your personal information (as defined under the CPRA) for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. To exercise this right, please contact us using the information provided below or use the opt-out tools described in Section 5.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that allows you to signal to websites that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can manage your tracking preferences through the other methods described in this policy.

9. Cookies and Children

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through cookies or other means. If you believe that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at [email protected], and we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

10. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, new legal requirements, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we update this policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

If we make significant changes to this policy, we may notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website or by sending you an email (if you have provided us with your email address). Your continued use of our website after the effective date of any updated Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
