1. Introduction
Welcome to Seasons Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate the website seasonspizza.world to provide information about our food services, menu offerings, online ordering, and promotions. Like most modern websites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze how visitors interact with our site, and serve relevant advertising.
This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand exactly what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control or disable them. We encourage you to read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this document.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website. Our practices comply with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable consumer protection regulations.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to deliver personalized content and advertising.
Cookies are set either by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party organizations whose services the website uses (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, personal data that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.
There are several types of cookies based on their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They help websites remember what you selected on the previous page so you do not have to re-enter information repeatedly.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They help websites remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphics embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand how you interact with our content.
- Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device.
- Scripts and Tags: Pieces of code that collect information about how you use our website.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for several important reasons:
- To ensure our website works correctly and securely
- To remember your preferences and settings during your visit
- To analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve our services
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns
- To deliver relevant advertisements and promotions based on your interests
- To enable social media features and integrations
- To facilitate online ordering and shopping cart functionality
- To provide customer support and live chat features
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on seasonspizza.world into four main types:
4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, core features — such as navigating between pages, placing orders, and accessing secure areas of the site — would not function. These cookies do not collect information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled without significantly disrupting your experience. They are typically set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into your account, or filling out forms.
4.2 Analytics / 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 how visitors navigate around the site. All information collected by these cookies 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.
4.3 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 use on our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly — for example, the website may not remember your preferred language, location, or the items you have saved in your cart.
4.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies
These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. 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. These cookies are used in compliance with the FTC Act and applicable advertising standards.
