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 sites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to gather reporting and analytics information.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and sent to your browser. Your browser then stores them locally on your device. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends these cookies back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain preferences or actions from your previous visits.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses or install malicious software on your device. They are simply data files that contain small amounts of text-based information.
2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
Cookies can be classified based on who sets them:
- First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Round Table Pizza (i.e., set by cafe-roundtable.rest) when you visit our website. They are primarily used to make our website function properly and to remember your preferences.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services and partners — such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms — that we have integrated into our website. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites and deliver targeted advertising.
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. Session cookies help our website recognize you as you navigate between pages.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after your browsing session ends. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. Persistent cookies help us remember your preferences and improve your experience on future visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Round Table Pizza uses four main categories of cookies on cafe-roundtable.rest. Each category serves a distinct purpose, as described below.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are absolutely essential for our website to function properly. Without them, you would not be able to navigate our site or use its core features, such as accessing our menu, placing an online order, or logging into your account. These cookies do not collect any information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled without significantly impairing the functionality of our website.
Essential cookies may be used to:
- Remember items you have added to your online order or cart
- Authenticate your login session and keep you signed in
- Maintain your security settings and protect against fraudulent activity
- Remember your cookie consent preferences
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors encounter error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data exclusively to improve how our website works and to enhance your overall experience.
We use Google Analytics to help us understand user behavior on our website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website is generally transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can be used to remember your location (for finding the nearest Round Table Pizza), your language preference, or your previous order history to make reordering more convenient. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We use Google Ads and may use cookies associated with social media platforms such as Facebook (Meta) for retargeting and advertising purposes.
These cookies track your visits to our website and other websites, building a profile of your interests. This information may be shared with third-party advertising networks. These cookies are set by third-party service providers with our permission.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect how our website functions and the quality of your experience. Below is a summary of the potential impacts by cookie category:
| Cookie Type | Impact of Disabling |
|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Our website may not function properly. You may be unable to place online orders, log into your account, or complete transactions. Core features may be unavailable. |
| Analytics Cookies | We will be unable to monitor website performance and understand how users interact with our site, which may reduce our ability to improve the user experience over time. |
| Functional Cookies | Personalized features will not work. Your location preferences, saved orders, and other customizations 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 and preferences. Disabling these cookies does not mean you will see fewer ads — only that the ads you see will be less targeted. |
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 5 above to limit tracking on our website.

Advertising cookies that facilitate the "sale" or "sharing" of data as defined under the CPRA may be subject to these rights.
- Other U.S. States: Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may also have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of targeted advertising under their respective state statutes.
