1. Introduction
Welcome to Round Table Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to provide you with clear, transparent, and comprehensive information about how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at roundtable-cafe.rest. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you understand exactly how your data is collected and used during your online interactions with us.
This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access or use our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our digital platforms and services.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please 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-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners and operators to make their websites function more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information about how the site is being used.
Cookies are created by the web server (the computer that hosts the website) and sent to your browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge). Your browser stores these cookies on your device and sends them back to the server each time you visit the same website. 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 other settings.
Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you directly, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This linkage helps us deliver a more personalized and relevant experience when you browse our website.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit roundtable-cafe.rest, our servers or third-party services may place cookies on your device. Here is how the process works:
- First Visit: When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie is created and stored on your device.
- Subsequent Visits: On your return visits, the cookie is read by our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or behavior from previous visits.
- Expiration: Cookies have an expiration date. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.
- Third-Party Access: Some cookies are set by third parties, such as advertising networks or analytics providers, and they may collect information about your online activities across different websites over time.
2.2 Types of Cookies by Origin
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Round Table Pizza when you visit roundtable-cafe.rest. They are primarily used to improve functionality and user experience on our website.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external companies and service providers whose content or tools we integrate into our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your browsing behavior across multiple websites.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Round Table Pizza uses several categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and we describe each one in detail below.
3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies
Essential cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. These cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate correctly, and services you have asked for, such as online ordering or account login, cannot be provided.
Essential cookies do not collect personal information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they do not track your browsing activity on other websites. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies are exempt from cookie consent requirements under applicable law.
Examples of essential cookies include:
- Session management cookies that keep you logged in as you navigate through different pages
- Security cookies that help detect and prevent fraudulent activities
- Load balancing cookies that ensure our website operates efficiently
- Cookies that store your cookie consent preferences
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 allows us to improve the structure, content, and functionality of roundtable-cafe.rest over time. These cookies do not identify individual users directly but may be linked to personal information we hold about you.
We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, which tracks and reports website traffic. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website (including your IP address) is typically transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
Google may use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website.
For example, functional cookies may be used to remember:
- Your preferred location or nearest Round Table Pizza restaurant
- Your preferred language or regional settings
- Your past order preferences or favorite menu items
- Whether you have previously accepted our cookie notice
- Live chat or customer support preferences
If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function correctly, and your experience on the website may be less personalized.
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 measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are typically placed by advertising networks with our permission.
These cookies track your visits to our website and other websites, and this information is used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites you visit. We may use services such as Google Ads and social media advertising platforms for this purpose.
Advertising cookies do not directly store personal information such as your name or email address but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.
