Last Updated: June 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Inn ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzainndining.rest, and what choices you have regarding their use.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our website in connection with our food and dining services. Please read this policy carefully along with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

This Cookie Policy is governed by the laws of the United States, including applicable provisions of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices online.

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 websites work more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to deliver a better and more personalized user experience.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Inn) 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 — for example, advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pizzainndining.rest, 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, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences. Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address, if you choose to share it with us).

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. It is important to note that cookies cannot read data from your hard drive or read cookie files created by other websites.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in a web page or email that may be used to deliver or communicate cookies, to count visitors, to understand usage, and to determine if an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within a user's browser.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but the data is only retained for the duration of the browser session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Scripts that help us collect information about how you interact with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on pizzainndining.rest:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services. These cookies are essential to providing you with services available through our website and to enable you to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors engage with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to pizzainndining.rest.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Functional cookies help us remember your preferences and settings, like your preferred location for restaurant delivery, your saved menu items, or your chosen dietary preferences, so that we can provide you with a better and more personalized dining experience online.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We may use Google Ads and other advertising platforms to show you relevant promotions for our food and dining services. These platforms use cookies to track conversions and deliver targeted advertising.
