Last Updated: June 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Piada. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on piadakitchen.rest, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. Our use of cookies and similar technologies is also subject to applicable United States federal and state 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 consumer protection and fair business practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, you can 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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the website.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser. Your browser then stores the cookie locally. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. The use of such data is governed by our Privacy Policy.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit piadakitchen.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. The cookie is stored in your browser's cookie storage. Each subsequent time you visit the website or load a page, the browser checks whether it has a cookie associated with the domain and, if it does, sends the information contained in that cookie back to the website. This process allows the website to recognize your browser and, if you have logged in, associate it with your user account.

Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies":

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to carry information between pages of our website and to avoid you having to re-enter information.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. They help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by piadakitchen.rest directly. They are used to improve your experience on our website and remember your preferences.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than piadakitchen.rest, typically by our trusted service providers and partners, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities across websites.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

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

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our website cannot be provided. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website, use a shopping cart, or access secure areas of the website. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not work as a result.

3.2 Analytical / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies 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 use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect and analyze data about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to track your interactions with our website.

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, then some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, font size, and other display preferences) so we can provide you with a more personalized experience.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site 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 similar advertising platforms to deliver relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our website. These services use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to piadakitchen.rest and other websites on the internet.

6.1 Disabling Essential Cookies

6.2 Disabling Analytical Cookies

Disabling analytical cookies means we will not be able to collect aggregated data about how visitors use our website. This limits our ability to understand user behavior, identify problems with the website, and make improvements that enhance your experience. Your use of the website will not be directly affected, but you may miss out on improvements that would have been made based on user data.

6.3 Disabling Functional Cookies

Disabling functional cookies may result in a less personalized experience. For example, we may not be able to remember your language preferences, display settings, or the contents of your shopping cart between visits. You may need to re-enter preferences each time you visit the website.

6.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies

Disabling advertising cookies will not stop you from seeing advertisements online; it simply means that the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests. You may still see ads from us or our partners, but they will be based on general context rather than your specific browsing history or preferences.
