1. Introduction
Welcome to Via 313 ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, cafe-via313.click (the "Website"). This policy is intended to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the choices you have regarding their use, and the potential impact of disabling them.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the data we collect. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details about how we handle your personal information. Our practices are consistent 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) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
If you have any questions about this Cookie 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, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Via 313) 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our Website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. The next time you visit the site using the same device, the cookie file is recognized and the website can use it to tailor what is displayed to you. Cookies may store a variety of information, including how often you visit a website, your login information, your preferences, and your browsing history on that site.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can be "session cookies" — which expire when you close your browser — or "persistent cookies" — which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on our Website:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our Website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic website functions. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. Because they are essential, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie management tool, although you can set your browser to block them (note that this may affect how the website functions).
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics 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 and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. These cookies are typically set by third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. These cookies remember choices you make and provide more personal features, such as remembering your language preferences or your location.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same advertisement from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. These cookies 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.
