This document is designed to give you clear, transparent, and comprehensive information about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at roundtable-eat.click. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. If you have any questions about this policy or our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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 websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Round Table Pizza) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a file located within your browser's folder. The next time you visit our website, your browser retrieves the cookie file and sends the information back to our web server. This allows the server to recognize you as a returning visitor and customize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can store a variety of information, including your preferences, login status, items in your shopping cart, and browsing behavior. The information stored in cookies is encoded and typically not readable by humans without specific tools.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are stored only for the duration of your visit to our website. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies help our website function properly during your visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location within the United States, you may have specific rights regarding the use of your personal information collected through cookies. These may include:

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our website currently does not respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals, as there is no industry-wide standard for how such signals should be interpreted.

We will continue to monitor developments in Do Not Track technology and industry standards and may update our practices accordingly.
