Last Updated: June 6, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Piada's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website cafe-piada.rest, and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and respecting your privacy rights under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair practices.

As a food business serving our customers online, we use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, understand how visitors interact with our website, and deliver relevant content and promotions. Please read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact us using the details 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 by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and collect reporting information.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes those cookies. 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 cafe-piada.rest for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser sends that cookie back to our server. This allows our website to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (called "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that provide content or functionality on that website (called "third-party cookies"). Both types may be used on our website.

2.2 Cookie Duration

Cookies can also be categorized based on how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to support the functionality of the website during your visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on cafe-piada.rest. Each category serves a different purpose, as described below:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website may not work as intended. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as they are required for the website to operate.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our website include:

  • Keeping you logged in during your session
  • Remembering items you have added to a shopping cart or reservation
  • Ensuring the security of your session
  • Load balancing to ensure reliable performance

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 the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the 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 site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without 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 pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.

Functional cookies on our website may be used to:

  • Remember your language preferences
  • Remember your location for delivery or pickup purposes
  • Customize the content shown to you based on your past interactions
  • Remember your accessibility settings

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 store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

We use Google Ads and may use social media advertising tools to deliver relevant promotions about our food offerings, menu items, and special events.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

We want you to make an informed decision about your cookie preferences. Below is a summary of what may happen if you disable different categories of cookies:

  • Disabling Essential Cookies: This is generally not possible through standard browser settings without severely impacting website functionality. If essential cookies are blocked, the website may not work at all. Features like your shopping cart, login sessions, and form submissions will not function correctly.
  • Disabling Analytics Cookies: We will no longer be able to track your visit to our website or gather data on website performance. This does not affect your browsing experience directly, but it limits our ability to improve our website and services for all users.
  • Disabling Functional Cookies: You may lose certain personalization features. For example, the website may not remember your location preferences, dietary settings, or language selection. You may need to re-enter these preferences each time you visit.
  • Disabling Advertising Cookies: You will still see advertisements online, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Your browsing on our website will no longer be used to tailor advertising you see elsewhere.

8. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, we do not currently alter our data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. However, we respect your privacy choices and encourage you to use the opt-out tools listed in this policy to manage your preferences.

9. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law
