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 function properly, work more efficiently, and provide reporting information.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are stored on your device for varying periods of time depending on their type and purpose.

There are several types of cookies based on their origin and lifespan:

• First-party cookies: These are set directly by the website you are visiting (cafe-ranchpizza.click).
• Third-party cookies: These are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by third-party service providers such as analytics or advertising platforms.
• Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session as you navigate through the website.
• Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They help remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie consent banner may appear, giving you the option to accept or decline certain types of cookies. When you revisit the site, cookies stored on your device allow us to recognize you and customize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can store a variety of information, such as your language preferences, items in a shopping cart, login status, and browsing behavior on our site. Some cookies communicate with third-party servers (such as Google Analytics or advertising networks), which can use the information to build a profile of your browsing habits and interests.

It is important to note that cookies do not give us direct access to your device. They only provide information about your browsing activity on our website or websites you have previously visited, depending on the cookie type.

At this time, our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how these signals should be interpreted. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices as necessary.
