Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Piada ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate the website italianpiada.click and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your visit. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our food service website, and what choices you have regarding their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we process your personal data. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

We comply with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), and, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), regarding the disclosure of tracking technologies and your rights in relation to them.

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 to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Piada) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit our site from the same device, the browser checks whether it has a cookie that is relevant to the site and sends back information contained in that cookie to our website. Our website then "recognizes" you and can tailor its content and services to your preferences and browsing history on our site.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain on your device only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a period defined by the cookie's expiry date. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on italianpiada.click:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are exempt from consent requirements under applicable law.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect 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 primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

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. They are used to remember choices you make (such as your language, region, or preferred food options) and to provide enhanced, more personal features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads. 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. Under the CCPA/CPRA, if you are a California resident, the sharing of your data through these cookies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, and you have the right to opt out.
