Last Updated: June 9, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Piada's Cookie Policy. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your online experience. This policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website meal-piada.click.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional context about how we handle your personal information. As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on consumer data protection.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.

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 their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by your web browser when you visit a website. The website sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file. Every time you return to that website, the browser retrieves and sends the file back to the website's server. Standard cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses, install malware, or transmit personal information without your knowledge once properly configured.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit meal-piada.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a designated folder on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services running on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types are used on our website as described in this policy.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of our communications.
  • Local Storage: A feature of modern browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • Fingerprinting: A method of identifying a device based on its unique configuration and settings, without relying on cookies.

Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer collectively to all of these technologies unless otherwise specified.
