1. Introduction

Welcome to Papa Ginos. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website, cafe-papaginos.click. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website, regardless of location. For users located in California, additional rights may apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Our use of cookies may also be subject to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on consumer protection and online tracking.

Please read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact us at any time using the contact details provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by your web browser at the request of the website you are visiting. The information stored in a cookie may include data about your device, browser type, operating system, IP address, the pages you visit, and other browsing activity. Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you by name, but the information they store can be linked to personal information we hold about you, or to personal information passed to us by third parties.

There are two main categories of cookies based on their origin:

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Papa Ginos (the website you are visiting). They are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by domains other than Papa Ginos — for example, by our advertising or analytics partners. These cookies may track your activity across multiple websites.

Cookies can also be categorized based on how long they remain on your device:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. They are activated every time you visit the website that created them.

3. How Cookies Work

When you visit cafe-papaginos.click, our server or the servers of our third-party partners send a cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookies enable a range of essential website functions, such as keeping you logged in, remembering items in your shopping cart, and personalizing content. They also allow us and our partners to analyze how visitors interact with our website so we can improve our services and make our online food ordering experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four primary categories of cookies on our website. Below is a description of each type and why we use them.

4.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of our website. Without them, core features of the site — such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and the online ordering process — would not function properly. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies cannot be disabled.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, your location, or any customizations you make to your order) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of the web pages. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the functionality of our website, identify pages that users find most helpful, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. For example, we use Google Analytics to track visitor numbers, traffic sources, and browsing behavior on our site.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to you. 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 websites. These cookies 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.

5. Specific Cookies We Use

6. Third-Party Cookies and Services

In addition to our own cookies, we partner with reputable third-party services that may place cookies on your device when you visit our website. These third parties include:

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze website traffic and understand visitor behavior. Google Analytics uses cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _gat to collect information about how you use our website. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google may use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6.2 Google Ads

We use Google Ads to serve targeted advertisements to users who have previously visited our website. The _gcl_au cookie is used to track conversions from Google Ads campaigns and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising. You can manage your Google Ads settings through Google's Ad Settings: https://adssettings.google.com.

6.3 Facebook/Meta Pixel

We may use the Facebook Pixel, a code installed on our website that allows us to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook advertising campaigns by understanding user actions on our website. The _fbp cookie is set by Facebook. You can manage your Facebook ad preferences at: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/ad_settings.
