1. Introduction

Welcome to Giordanos. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or opt out of their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our data practices, 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 more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect analytical information about how visitors use their sites.

Cookies are created by a web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you return to the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the server to recognize you and remember information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they can be linked to personal information that you have provided to us directly or that we have collected about you from other sources.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit cafegiordanos.top, our web server sends a small data file (the cookie) to your browser. This file is stored locally on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser retrieves the cookie file and sends the information back to our web server. This process allows us to:

• Remember your preferences and settings (such as language or region)
• Keep you logged in during a session
• Understand how you navigate our website
• Track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
• Improve our website's performance and content
• Provide you with personalized content and recommendations

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies set directly by Giordanos (the website you are visiting). These cookies are generally used to support the core functionality of our website.

Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than cafegiordanos.top. These are typically set by our trusted service partners such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. Third parties may use these cookies to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.

2.3 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you are actively using our website.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They allow our website to remember your preferences and recognize you on future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and the purpose they serve.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, certain parts of the website would not function properly. Essential cookies enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic website functionality. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our services, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our website include:

• Maintaining your session as you navigate from page to page
• Remembering items you have added to an online order or inquiry form
• Ensuring the website loads and displays correctly
• Supporting security features that prevent fraudulent activity

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits to our website and understand where our traffic comes from. This information helps us measure and improve the performance of our site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — we cannot identify you personally from this data alone.

We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used web analytics services, to collect data about how visitors interact with cafegiordanos.top. Google Analytics uses its own set of cookies to track user sessions and compile reports for us on site activity.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional 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 integrated into our pages. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, and provide a more personalized experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.

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 our marketing campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and similar tools to understand which of our advertising campaigns drive traffic and orders to our website. These cookies may track your online activity across different websites.
