Last Updated: June 5, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Papa Ginos ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to the website food-papaginos.digital and explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to gather information about how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and are stored in your browser. Each time you return to that website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies serve many purposes, including:

• Keeping you signed in to your account
• Remembering your preferences (such as language or region)
• Helping us understand how you use our website
• Enabling us to personalize content and advertisements for you
• Improving site performance and security

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Papa Ginos (the website you are visiting). These cookies are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site.

Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. For example, when you visit food-papaginos.digital, third-party services such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms may set cookies on your device through our website.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to carry information across pages of a website during a single browsing session.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created the cookie and are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on food-papaginos.digital:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms, or placing an order.

Without these cookies, certain features of our website — such as your shopping cart, account login, or order placement — would not work. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not function properly as a result.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where errors may occur.

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to monitor our website's performance and make data-driven improvements.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our pages. Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, location, or saved menu items) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function correctly, and your experience on our site may be less personalized.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners and are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising across the web.

We use advertising cookies in compliance with applicable U.S. law, including the FTC Act guidelines on online behavioral advertising and, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below provides detailed information about the specific cookies used on food-papaginos.digital, including their purpose, type, and duration.

Please note that the list above may not be exhaustive. Third-party services may update their cookie names and behaviors over time. We review and update this table regularly.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may affect your experience on our website. Below is a summary of the potential impact of disabling each category of cookies:

• Essential Cookies Disabled: You may be unable to place orders, log in to your account, maintain items in your cart, or use other core website features. We strongly recommend keeping these cookies enabled.
• Analytics Cookies Disabled: We will be unable to track your visit in our analytics platform. This will not affect your browsing experience, but it will limit our ability to improve the website based on usage data.
• Functional Cookies Disabled: You may lose saved preferences such as your preferred delivery location, saved menu filters, and other personalization features. You will need to re-enter these preferences on each visit.
• Advertising Cookies Disabled: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies will not stop you from seeing ads, but the ads you see will be based on general context rather than your browsing behavior.

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities 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 DNT browser signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools described in Section 7 of this policy to limit tracking.

10. Cookies and Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through cookies or any other means. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information through our website, please contact us at [email protected] and we will promptly remove that information.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. If we make material changes to this policy, we may notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website or by sending you an email if we have your contact information on file.
