Last Updated: April 4, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Imos Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website and how they affect your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.
This policy applies to all pages and services available through our website pizzassimos.top and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
We operate in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), and, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). We are committed to ensuring that our use of cookies respects your privacy rights and gives you meaningful control over your data.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and allow websites to recognize your device across different pages and visits. Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting, known as first-party cookies, or they can be set by other organizations whose content appears on the page, known as third-party cookies. Each cookie typically contains the following information:
- The name of the cookie
- The value stored in the cookie (often an anonymous unique identifier)
- The domain that placed the cookie
- An expiry date or duration
- Whether the cookie is accessible only over a secure connection (HTTPS)
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. These technologies work in similar ways to cookies and may be used for the same purposes. Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to all such technologies collectively.
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you first visit pizzassimos.top, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. On subsequent visits to our website or when you navigate between pages, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or activities.
Session cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. Both types serve different purposes and are explained in more detail below.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without them, certain core features of our website would not function properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law, as they are strictly necessary to provide you with the services you have requested.
Examples of what essential cookies do include:
- Keeping you logged into your account
- Remembering items added to your online order or shopping cart
- Ensuring secure connections during checkout
- Enabling navigation between pages without losing previously entered information
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors stay on each page, and any error messages encountered. The data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify individual users.
We use this information to improve the performance and usability of our website. The primary analytics tool we use is Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your location (such as your city or zip code for local restaurant finding), your preferred language, or your display preferences. The information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are placed by our advertising partners, such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). Advertising cookies track your browsing habits across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads. They also help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
Please note that we do not control these third-party advertising cookies. The information collected by these cookies is subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze how visitors use our website.

This information is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

6.2 Google Ads
We use Google Ads to promote our products and services. Google Ads uses cookies such as _gcl_au to track conversions from our advertising campaigns and to measure the effectiveness of our ads. This helps us understand which ads lead to actual orders or inquiries.
