1. Introduction

Welcome to Zupas. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or manage them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect and process personal data.

This Cookie Policy applies to all pages and services accessible through zupasfood.click and is governed by 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 California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents.

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 websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and to give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.

Cookies are stored in your browser's designated folder or cookie jar and are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. 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.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends that cookie back to our server. This process allows us to recognize your browser and remember preferences, track your activity across sessions, and provide features tailored to your use of the site.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms (known as "third-party cookies").

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views and email open rates.
• Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device without an expiration date.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a specific purpose and has different implications for your privacy and browsing experience.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, account authentication, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. These cookies do not require your consent because they are strictly necessary for the delivery of a service requested by you.

Essential cookies may include cookies that:

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. The data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve the performance and content of our website.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, which tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our website. This data is shared with other Google services.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference, location, or login information) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

These 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They 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. These cookies may track your browsing activity across different websites.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking cookies to measure the effectiveness of our paid advertising campaigns and understand how users interact with our ads before visiting our website.
