Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 24, 2026

1. 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 work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.

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.

2. How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit cafe-roundtable.digital, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, which helps us recognize you and customize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during the time you use the website. They are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. Session cookies allow our website to recognize you as you move from page to page within the site, so you do not need to re-enter information repeatedly.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are reactivated the next time you visit the website that created them. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as an existing user and remember your preferences each time you visit our site.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), which are tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user engagement, website traffic, and email open rates.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain services or features of our website cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of these cookies through our cookie management tools, as the website cannot function properly without them.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our site include:

  • Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
  • Remembering items in your online order or shopping cart
  • Enabling you to log in to your account securely
  • Ensuring the security of your interactions on our website

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors to our website and to see how visitors move around the site. This helps us improve the way our website works — for example, by ensuring that users can easily find what they are looking for. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze data about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. This information is processed in a way that does not directly identify individuals.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past — such as your preferred language, your region or location, your username, and changes you have made to text sizes, fonts, and other customizable elements. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymized.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to serve targeted advertisements to you based on your browsing behavior and interests.

We do not have direct control over the information collected by third-party cookies, and you should check the relevant third party's website for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.

Our primary third-party cookie providers include:

  • Google LLC — Analytics and advertising services
  • Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook) — Social media and advertising services
  • Microsoft Corporation (Bing Ads) — Advertising services

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies (United States)

As a business operating in the United States, our use of cookies is governed by applicable federal and state laws, including:

  • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act — which prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in commerce, including the collection and use of consumer data without adequate disclosure.
  • The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) — which grants California residents specific rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know about, opt out of, and delete personal data collected through cookies.
  • The CAN-SPAM Act — relevant to any email-based tracking technologies we may employ.

Where required by law — particularly for California residents under the CCPA/CPRA — we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. For all other users, we rely on our legitimate business interests to use analytics and functional cookies to improve our website and services, while providing you with clear information and the ability to opt out at any time.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block cookies, please be aware that certain features and functionality of our website may be affected. Here is what you can expect when disabling different types of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies Disabled: The website will not function properly. You will be unable to complete online orders, maintain a shopping cart, log into your account, or access secure areas of the site.
  • Analytics Cookies Disabled: We will not be able to collect information about how you use our website. This will not affect your ability to use the site, but it will limit our ability to improve our services based on user behavior data.
  • Functional Cookies Disabled: The website will still work, but it will not remember your preferences such as your location, language settings, or personalized options. You may need to re-enter this information each time you visit.
  • Advertising Cookies Disabled: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests and may appear more frequently since we cannot track your preferences or limit how often you see specific ads.

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management options described in Section 7 above to control tracking on our website.

10. Cookies and Your Privacy

Some of the cookies we use collect personal information, such as your IP address or online identifiers. This information is used in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. We encourage you to review our full Privacy Policy for more information about how we handle your personal information.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to:

  • Know what personal information is collected about them via cookies
  • Know whether their personal information is sold or disclosed, and to whom
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information collected via advertising cookies
