1. Introduction

Welcome to Via 313. This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at via313-meal.click and describes how Via 313 ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website, place orders, or interact with our online food services.

We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This policy works in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

If you have questions or concerns about our use of cookies, you may contact us at any time 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 websites function more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party organizations (known as "third-party cookies") that provide services or content on that website. Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you directly, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit via313-meal.click, our web server sends a small file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you revisit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions.

Cookies may be either session cookies — which expire once you close your browser — or persistent cookies — which remain stored on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

2.2 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

Web beacons (pixel tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email open rates.
Local storage: A browser-based storage method that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond what cookies can hold.
Session storage: Similar to local storage but cleared when the browsing session ends.
Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device settings and browser configuration to identify your device.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website. Understanding these categories will help you make informed decisions about which cookies you wish to accept.

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as placing a food order or logging in to your account — cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent, as they are technically necessary for the website to function.

Examples of what these cookies do:

Maintain your shopping cart and order details as you navigate our site
Authenticate your login session and keep you signed in
Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
Ensure load balancing across our servers for website stability

These cookies allow us to count visits to our website and understand how visitors interact with our content. They help us measure and improve the performance of our website by providing information such as which pages are most popular, how visitors move around the site, and whether they encounter any error messages. All data collected is aggregated and anonymized where possible.

We use Google Analytics to collect this type of data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions and compile statistical reports on website activity. The information generated by these cookies (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google's servers, which may be located in the United States or other countries.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, a functional cookie might remember your preferred language, your delivery address, or your favorite menu items to make future visits more convenient. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party service providers whose services we have added to our pages.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
