1. Introduction

Welcome to Via 313's Cookie Policy. This document explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website 313via-meal.click, and the choices you have regarding their use. Via 313 is committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used, in accordance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

This Cookie 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 how we handle your data, 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 device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website owner.

Cookies are stored in your browser's designated folder and contain information such as a unique identifier, the name of the website that set the cookie, and an expiration date. Each time your browser makes a request to a server, the browser sends the relevant cookies back along with the request, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Via 313 when you visit 313via-meal.click. These cookies are used to ensure the proper functioning of our website and to remember your preferences.

Third-party cookies are set by external services or partners whose features are embedded on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. These third parties may have access to information collected by their cookies, governed by their own privacy policies.

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 maintain your session as you navigate between pages on our website.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that set the cookie.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Via 313 uses four main categories of cookies on 313via-meal.click. Below is a detailed description of each type and its purpose.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and services you have specifically requested — such as accessing secure areas, placing food orders, or managing your account — cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools.

Essential cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and are used solely to facilitate the technical operation of the website. They help with tasks such as:

  • Maintaining your shopping cart or order summary during a session
  • Authenticating your login session
  • Ensuring security and preventing fraudulent activity
  • Remembering items you have added to your cart

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the performance and usability of 313via-meal.click. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this information.

Information collected by analytics cookies includes:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • How users arrived at our website (e.g., search engine, direct link, referral)
  • Geographic location (country or region level only)
  • Device type, operating system, and browser type
  • User behavior patterns such as clicks, scrolling, and interactions

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by Via 313 or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our pages.

Examples of what functional cookies may remember include:

  • Your preferred language or region
  • Your name or username if you create an account
  • Customizations you have made to the website layout
  • Whether you have previously been shown a notification or pop-up

If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly, and you may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit our website.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging for you. These cookies track your browsing habits across websites and help advertisers and Via 313 show you relevant ads based on your interests. They are also used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

We use Google Ads cookies and may use cookies from other advertising networks and social media platforms such as Facebook (Meta). These third parties use cookies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

These cookies do not directly store personal information such as your name or address but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertising, but it will be less relevant to your interests.
