Last Updated: March 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to pizzimos.world, the official website of Imos Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and protect your personal information. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

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 efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Imos 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.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pizzimos.world, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. Every time you visit our website again, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows our website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies can be classified based on their lifespan:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They help our website remember your actions during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences for future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

At Imos Pizza, we use several categories of cookies on our website. Each type serves a specific purpose and contributes to the overall quality of your experience on pizzimos.world.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, parts of our website may not function correctly.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under applicable law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and general FTC Act consumer protection guidelines.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve the structure, content, and performance of pizzimos.world. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. The data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — we do not use this data to identify individual users.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.

These cookies may remember your language preferences, location, or other settings to provide you with a more personalized experience when ordering food or browsing our menu on pizzimos.world.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to display relevant advertisements to you both on our website and on other websites. They track your browsing habits and activity across the internet so that advertisers can serve you more relevant ads. These cookies are placed by our advertising partners and allow them to build a profile of your interests.

We use Google Ads and other advertising platforms to promote Imos Pizza's products and services. These partners may combine information collected via advertising cookies with other information they have collected from you separately.

If you are a California resident, please see our Privacy Policy for more information about exercising your CCPA/CPRA rights.
  • Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act: The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive practices, which includes being transparent about data collection practices. We comply with FTC guidelines by clearly disclosing our cookie use in this policy.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may have a significant impact on your experience while using pizzimos.world. Below is a summary of the potential impacts by cookie category:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Critical website functions will not work. You may be unable to place food orders, log in to your account, or complete checkout on our website. We strongly recommend keeping these enabled.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to monitor and improve website performance. Your browsing experience will remain functional, but we will lose valuable data that helps us improve our services for all users.
Functional Cookies Your preferences such as saved delivery addresses, language settings, and personalized recommendations will not be remembered. You may need to re-enter this information each time you visit our site.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not reduce the number of ads you see — it only affects their relevance to you.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, pizzimos.world does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We will update this policy if a standard is established and we implement a DNT response mechanism.

California residents may also exercise their opt-out rights under the CCPA/CPRA through our cookie consent tool or by contacting us directly at the details provided below.

Our website pizzimos.world is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our operations, or any other reason we deem necessary or appropriate. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where required by law, notify you of the changes.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are using cookies. Your continued use of pizzimos.world after any changes to this Cookie Policy will constitute your acknowledgment of the changes and your consent to the updated policy.
