Welcome to Zupas ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at zupas-cafe.click (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control their use.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Together, these documents govern your use of our Website.

We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. If you have any questions about how we use cookies or this policy, please contact us 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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators useful information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are stored locally on your device and sent back to the originating website or a third-party website each time you visit. They do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. However, they can store unique identifiers that track your browsing behavior across websites.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit zupas-cafe.click, our web 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 the stored cookie back to our server. This process allows our Website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Some cookies expire when you close your browser (known as "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them (known as "persistent cookies").

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by zupas-cafe.click and can only be read by our Website. They are primarily used to enhance your user experience and remember your preferences.

Third-party cookies are set by external services and organizations that provide features on our Website, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms. These parties may use cookies to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our Website. Below is a detailed description of each category and the purpose it serves.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our Website. Without these cookies, our Website cannot function properly, and certain services you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and are not used to track your browsing activity across other websites.

Examples of essential cookie functions include maintaining your session as you navigate between pages, remembering items in your online order or inquiry form, and ensuring security features function correctly.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they are placed on your device without requiring your consent under applicable U.S. law. However, you can still block them through your browser settings, though doing so may significantly impact Website functionality.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies may be used to remember your location preferences, language settings, font size, and other customizable elements of our Website.

Information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you disable these cookies, some Website features may not function as intended.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve how our Website works, identify popular pages, and track the effectiveness of our content.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect and analyze usage data. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our Website, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs.

The information generated by Google Analytics cookies about your use of our Website is typically transmitted to and stored on Google servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of our Website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking cookies to measure the effectiveness of our online advertising. These cookies help us understand which advertisements led you to visit our Website or take an action on it.
