Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Davanni's ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website davannis-pizzas.digital (the "Website"). By continuing to use our Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. Please read this document carefully to understand what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information to the website owner.
Cookies are set by either the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party organizations such as advertisers, analytics providers, or social media platforms (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track whether a page or email has been viewed.
- Local Storage Objects: Data stored directly in your browser using technologies like HTML5 localStorage.
- Session Storage: Temporary storage that expires once you close your browser session.
- Fingerprinting: The collection of device-specific information to identify your device across sessions.
For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
2. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our Website for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our Website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or session information.
Cookies can be either:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device automatically when you close your browser. They help maintain your session as you navigate between pages.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. They allow us to recognize you on return visits and remember your preferences.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our Website:
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential to the operation of our Website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, parts of our Website may not function properly.
You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Website will then not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
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 Website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous statistical data about how visitors use our Website. This service is provided by Google LLC and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
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. These cookies remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, region, or other settings — so that we can personalize your experience. 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. 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. We use Google Ads and may use Facebook Pixel to deliver relevant advertisements to you based on your browsing behavior.
