Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 11, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Via 313 ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at via313-pizzas.rest and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding fair and transparent data practices.

Please read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, you may contact us using the information provided at the end of this document.

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 to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their sites.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts a website and delivered to your browser. Your browser then stores the cookie file and sends it back to the server each time you revisit the same website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your language preference, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit via313-pizzas.rest, our web server may send one or more cookies to your device. These cookies contain unique identifiers that help us distinguish your browser from others. The data stored in cookies does not typically include personally identifiable information by itself, but it may be combined with other data we collect to identify you if you have provided us with personal information (such as when placing an online food order).

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browser session. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: These 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 them.

Cookies can also be categorized as first-party cookies (set directly by Via 313) or third-party cookies (set by a third-party service provider operating on our behalf, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on via313-pizzas.rest:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. Without them, certain features of our website — such as the online ordering system, shopping cart functionality, or secure login areas — would not work. Essential cookies do not require your consent under most regulatory frameworks, as they are necessary for the delivery of a service you have requested.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our website include:

  • Maintaining your session while you browse and add items to your order
  • Remembering items in your cart between pages
  • Ensuring the security of your browsing session
  • Enabling you to submit contact forms or reservation requests

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the structure, content, and performance of our website. We use Google Analytics to collect this information.

The data collected includes pages visited, time spent on each page, traffic sources, and geographic location at a regional level. This helps Via 313 understand which menu items or promotions generate the most interest and how to optimize the online ordering experience for our customers.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred location (if we have multiple locations), your language settings, or your name if you have previously placed an order.

These cookies may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or using a live chat tool. The information collected by functional cookies is typically anonymized and cannot be used to track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

We may use Google Ads cookies and similar technologies to show you targeted advertisements about Via 313 on other websites after you have visited via313-pizzas.rest. This practice is known as "retargeting" or "remarketing."
