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 websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties, such as companies that serve advertising or analytics services on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies allow websites to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website at cafe-piada.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. Each time you return to our website or navigate between pages, your browser sends this cookie back to our server. This process allows us to recognize your device, remember your preferences, analyze how you use our site, and deliver relevant content or advertisements.
Cookies may store a variety of information, including:
- Your login status and session information
- Your website preferences and settings
- Your browsing behavior on our website
- Your approximate geographic location
- Information about your device, browser, and operating system
2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration
Cookies can be classified by how long they remain on your device:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (defined in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are reactivated each time you visit the website that created them.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on cafe-piada.click. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and the purpose they serve.
3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
Essential cookies help us:
- Maintain the security of your browsing session
- Remember items you have added to an online cart or order form
- Authenticate you when you log into any account features
- Ensure our website loads and displays correctly
- Prevent fraudulent activity and protect user data
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics 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 most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and how long they spend on each page. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — we cannot identify individual users from this data.
We use Google Analytics on our website to collect and analyze this information. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The data collected is used solely to improve our website and user experience.
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 added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. These cookies may remember:
- Your preferred language or region settings
- Your name and contact details if you fill out a form (so you do not need to re-enter them)
- Your display preferences, such as font size or layout choices
- Whether you have previously visited our site and accepted our cookie policy
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies (also called marketing or targeting cookies) are used to show you relevant advertisements on our website and on other websites you visit. They are set by us and by our advertising partners, such as Google Ads and Facebook/Meta. These cookies track your browsing habits and enable our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests in order to show you relevant ads. They do not store personally identifiable information directly, but work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
If you choose not to allow advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less targeted and therefore potentially less relevant to you.
