Last Updated: April 7, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Seasons Pizza. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website seasons-pizza.rest, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food service business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection and transparency, as well as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents.
By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or refrain from using our website.
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 more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to report information to the website operator.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Seasons Pizza) 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 computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit seasons-pizza.rest for the first time, our server sends a cookie file to your browser, which stores it locally on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences, login status, shopping cart contents, and other settings that enhance your browsing experience.
Cookies typically contain the following information:
- The name of the server the cookie was sent from
- The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain active)
- A value — usually a randomly generated unique number
Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They cannot access information from your hard drive or read cookies from other websites. They are simply a convenient mechanism for storing small amounts of information.
2.2 Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within your browser without expiration dates.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about how you interact with our website.

These cookies are placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
