Welcome to Via 313 ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at bbq-via313.click and describes how we use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and other similar tracking technologies when you visit, interact with, or make a purchase through our website.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and what choices you have regarding their use. Please read this Cookie Policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of 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. These files are created by the website server and stored in your browser or device's storage. Cookies allow websites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you use the site.
Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners. They do not contain executable programs and cannot install malware or viruses on your device.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit bbq-via313.click, our server or a third-party server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back to the server each time you visit the website or load a resource from it. This process allows the website to recognize you as a returning visitor and recall your preferences and actions.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that are embedded in the website, such as analytics platforms or advertising networks (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 invisible graphics embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to 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 on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is only retained for the duration of a single session and is deleted when the browser is closed.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded on our website that collect information about your interactions and send it to third-party services.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on bbq-via313.click, each serving a specific purpose. These are described below:
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of the website, such as shopping carts, login sessions, or security measures, would not work correctly. Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, they cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tool. However, you may be able to block them through your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of the site.
Essential cookies typically do not collect personally identifiable information and are not used for marketing purposes.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, where visitors come from, and what errors they may encounter. This information is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify individual users.
We use this data to improve our website's performance, structure, and content. For example, if analytics data shows that users frequently abandon a particular page, we may investigate and improve that page's design or content.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your language preferences, your location, or your previously viewed menu items. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our pages.
The information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.
These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertising networks. These third parties may combine this information with other information they have collected about you from your use of their services.

Under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing unfair or deceptive trade practices, we are required to be transparent about our data collection practices, including our use of cookies.
For users in California, the CCPA/CPRA grants you specific rights regarding the personal information collected about you, including through cookies.
