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 enhance user experience, and to provide information to website owners and operators.

Cookies are created by your web browser when you visit a site. The site sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server. Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information by themselves, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit via313-food.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or session information.

Cookies can be:

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They help our website remember your actions during a single browsing session.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies 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 that particular cookie.
First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Via 313 when you visit our website.
Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a third party (such as Google or Facebook) through content or services integrated into our website.

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images (usually invisible) embedded in web pages or emails that track whether you have visited a particular page or opened an email.
Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger capacity.
Scripts: Pieces of JavaScript code that help track how you interact with our website.

This Cookie Policy covers all these technologies collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on via313-food.rest:

These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes, and they do not remember where you have been on the internet.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages visitors visit most often, how much time they spend on each page, and if they receive error messages from certain pages.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our users interact with our website.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

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 as well as to 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.
