2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to gather information about how users interact with the site.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and sent to your browser. Each time you revisit the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and recall certain information about your previous visits or preferences.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you directly; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This linkage helps us improve your overall experience on our website.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit papaginosnew.rest for the first time, our server sends a cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. The cookie contains a unique identifier that enables our systems to recognize your browser on subsequent visits. This process happens automatically and in the background without any visible action on your part.

Depending on the type of cookie, the information collected may include:

• Your IP address and general geographic location
• The pages you visit on our website and the order in which you visit them
• The time and date of your visits
• The type of device and browser you use
• Items you add to your cart or order online
• Your language and display preferences
• Whether you have visited our website before and how you arrived at it

2.2 Other Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Temporary storage that only persists for the duration of your browser session and is deleted when you close the browser tab.
• JavaScript Tags: Small code snippets that collect information about your interactions with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on papaginosnew.rest. These are classified both by their function and by who sets them (first-party cookies set by us, or third-party cookies set by our partners and service providers).

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the fundamental operation of our website. They enable core functions such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, key services you have requested — such as online ordering and account login — cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are essential, they are always active and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. However, you may be able to block them in your browser settings, though this will impact the functionality of our website.

Examples of what these cookies do:

• Maintain your session while you are logged in to your account
• Remember items in your shopping cart or online order
• Protect the security of your account and our systems
• Ensure you are directed to the correct version of our website

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — they do not identify individual users.

We use this data to understand how our website performs, identify areas for improvement, and enhance the overall user experience. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make when you visit (such as your preferred location, language, or whether you have previously agreed to our terms). They may also be used to provide enhanced features and personalization.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting 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 measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads with our permission.

These cookies remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers. This means after visiting papaginosnew.rest, you may see advertisements for Papa Ginos on other websites or platforms.
