Last Updated: May 6, 2026  |  Effective Date: May 6, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Seasons Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at seasonspizza-food.rest and explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site.

By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act — we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

We encourage you to read this policy carefully so that you can make informed decisions about your privacy preferences. If you have any questions, 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-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to provide useful functionality, and to collect information about how visitors interact with websites.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about your preferences or actions over time.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit seasonspizza-food.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server. This two-way communication allows us to recognize you, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized and seamless experience.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party companies that provide services to us, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies").

2.2 Other Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:

  • Web beacons (pixel tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and interactions.
  • Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your device.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A method of identifying devices based on unique combinations of browser and device settings.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types based on their purpose and function:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for our website to operate and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms, or navigating between pages. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are strictly required to deliver the services you request from us.

Without these cookies, certain parts of our website, such as the online ordering system, shopping cart functionality, and user account features, will not work correctly.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, and measure website performance so we can improve the overall user experience. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics provider.

The information collected by analytics cookies includes pages visited, time spent on pages, links clicked, and geographic location at a regional level. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify individual users.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our website. These cookies remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, region, font size, or whether you have accepted certain notices — so you do not have to make those selections every time you visit.

If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function correctly, and your experience on our website may be degraded.

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 usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads and Facebook with our permission.

These cookies track your browsing activity across different websites, building a profile of your interests to show you relevant advertisements. We use Google Ads conversion tracking as part of our advertising efforts.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific rights regarding the collection and use of their personal data, including data collected through cookies. The FTC Act also requires that companies be transparent about their data collection practices and obtain meaningful consent where applicable.

Our legal bases for processing cookie data are as follows:

  • Legitimate Interest / Operational Necessity: Essential cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website. These cookies are strictly necessary and do not require your consent.
  • Consent: Analytics, functional, and advertising cookies are only placed on your device with your prior consent, as indicated by your selections in our cookie consent banner.
  • Opt-Out Rights: California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information, which may include certain cookie-based advertising practices. See Section 7 for details on how to exercise these rights.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

We want to be transparent about how disabling cookies may affect your experience on seasonspizza-food.rest. The impact depends on which category of cookies you choose to disable:

Cookie Type Impact If Disabled
Essential Cookies The website may not function properly. You may be unable to place orders, access your account, or use the shopping cart. We strongly recommend keeping these enabled.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to measure website performance or understand how visitors use our site. This will not affect your browsing experience directly, but may mean we are slower to identify and fix issues.
Functional Cookies Certain personalized features may not work. Your preferences (such as saved delivery address, language selection, or location) will not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter information each time.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies will not reduce the number of ads you see — only their relevance.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools and browser settings described in Section 6 to limit cookie tracking.

California residents may also exercise their right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA by contacting us directly using the information provided in Section 10 below.

Our website may include links to third-party websites, plugins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their cookie policies or privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of every website you visit.

Third-party services that may set cookies on our website include, but are not limited to:

  • Google LLC — Analytics, Ads, and Maps services
  • Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook) — Social media plugins and advertising
  • Payment processors — Secure payment handling (these services use their own cookies for security and fraud prevention)

Each of these third parties operates under their own privacy and cookie policies, and we recommend reviewing those policies to understand how your data is handled.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, or applicable legal requirements.
