Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Imos Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at pizzimoss.rest and explains what cookies are, how we use them, what rights you have to control our use of them, and how you can exercise those rights.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

If you have any questions or concerns 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-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to gather information about how visitors interact with a site.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pizzimoss.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small text file on your device. On your next visit, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and personalize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by other organizations whose content appears on that page, such as advertising networks or analytics providers (known as "third-party cookies").

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to remember your actions during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser (unless you delete them). They are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits to our website.

2.3 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons: Also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs," these are tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email open rates.
  • Local Storage: Similar to cookies, local storage allows websites to store data in your browser, but it persists even after the browser session ends and has a larger storage capacity.
  • Scripts: Small pieces of code that enable website functionality and help gather information about how visitors interact with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on pizzimoss.rest, as described below:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. Without them, certain core features would not work, and you would not be able to use our website as intended. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information, and they cannot be switched off in our systems.

Essential cookies enable basic functions such as:

  • Remembering items you have added to your online order cart
  • Keeping you logged in to your account during a session
  • Ensuring the security of your browsing session
  • Remembering your cookie consent preferences
  • Loading the website correctly across different devices and browsers

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular and see how visitors move around our site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses a set of cookies to collect information and report website usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

  • Personalize your experience based on previous visits
  • Enable features such as live chat support
  • Store your preferred ordering options

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

We use Google Ads and other advertising platforms to serve relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our website, a practice known as remarketing or retargeting.
