Last Updated: April 19, 2026 | Effective Date: April 19, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Imos Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website located at imosspiz.click, and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and respecting your privacy in accordance with applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and relevant Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on online tracking and consumer privacy.
As a food service business operating in the United States, we use our website to provide you with information about our menu, locations, online ordering, promotions, and other services. To deliver these services effectively and to continually improve your online experience, we rely on cookies and similar technologies. This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who interact with our website.
Please read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you have questions or concerns about the cookies we use, you may contact us at any time using the contact information provided at the end of this policy.
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 websites and online services to make them work more efficiently, to remember your preferences and settings, and to provide website owners with information about how their sites are being used.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember relevant information about your visit.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they can be linked to personal information that you have previously provided to us. They cannot carry viruses or install malware on your computer. Cookies are safe and are a standard part of how the modern internet functions.
2.1 Types of Cookies by Origin
- First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by our website (imosspiz.click) and can only be read by us. They are primarily used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external services or partners whose content appears on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. These third parties may use these cookies to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.
2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They do not collect information from your device and expire at the end of your browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.
2.3 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows data to be stored locally on your device beyond the duration of a single session.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our website pages that collect information about your interactions with the site.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a different purpose and has a different level of impact on your privacy.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, parts of our website — such as the online ordering system or shopping cart — will not function correctly.
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, how visitors move around the site, and where visitors come from. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use tools such as Google Analytics to analyze this data. 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.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These 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. Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred location, language settings, or the items you have added to your order. 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, such as 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. We use these cookies to measure the effectiveness of our online marketing campaigns and to show you promotions and special offers from Imos Pizza that are relevant to you.

7. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law
Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights with respect to the personal information collected through cookies. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected about them, including through the use of cookies
- Request deletion of their personal information
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the Contact section below.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, so we do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to DNT browser settings. However, as noted above, we do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where applicable.
9. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through cookies or any other means.
