Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Seasons Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or disable them. This policy applies to all visitors and users of our website located at seasonspizza.digital.

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by applicable United States law, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable. We encourage you to read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy to fully understand how we handle your data.

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 remember your preferences, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Seasons 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 our website and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores it, and then sends it back with the next request to our server. This helps us identify your device and remember information about your visit, such as items in your order, your language preference, or your login status. Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the cookie
  • The value (a unique identifier or stored preference)
  • The domain of the website that set the cookie
  • An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
  • A path indicating where on the domain the cookie is active

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and email opens.
  • Local Storage: Data stored in your browser that persists even after the browser session ends.
  • Session Storage: Temporary data stored for the duration of a single browser session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your interactions with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a different purpose and has different implications for your privacy.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure access to account areas, and processing your pizza orders. Without these cookies, certain services on our website cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools — however, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, though this may affect how the website functions.

Essential cookies help us:

  • Remember items you have added to your cart or order
  • Maintain your session as you navigate through pages
  • Ensure security during your visit
  • Comply with legal requirements regarding online transactions

3.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your location for delivery purposes, your preferred language, your saved addresses, or your past order preferences so that we can make your next visit more convenient. These cookies are not essential, but they significantly improve your experience on our website.

3.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This allows us to continually improve the structure, content, and usability of our website. We use Google Analytics, which is one of the most widely used analytics platforms on the internet. The information collected includes pages viewed, time spent on the website, traffic sources, and general geographic location (at the city or region level, not precise).

The data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and does not personally identify individual users.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. 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 directly store personal information but uniquely identify your browser and internet device.

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies at any time, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our website. The following table outlines the potential impact of disabling each type of cookie:

Essential Cookies Core website functions will not work properly. You may not be able to add items to your cart, complete orders, log in to your account, or navigate certain pages. We strongly recommend keeping these enabled.
Functional Cookies Your preferences such as saved delivery addresses, language settings, and recent orders will not be remembered. You will need to re-enter this information each time you visit, which may be inconvenient.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to collect data on how you use our website. While this does not affect your browsing experience directly, it limits our ability to identify and fix issues that might otherwise improve your experience over time.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads more frequently since frequency capping will not apply. Your opt-out preference will need to be set on each browser and device you use.
