Last Updated: May 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Via 313. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our website, via313-food.click (the "Website"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we use personal data collected through the use of cookies.

By using our Website, you acknowledge and agree that we may place cookies on your device as explained in this Cookie Policy. If you do not wish to accept cookies from our Website, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below. Please note that disabling certain cookies may impact your experience on our Website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide analytical and marketing information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored for future reference. Each cookie typically contains the following information:

  • The name of the cookie
  • The value of the cookie (typically an anonymous unique identifier)
  • The domain and path of the website that created the cookie
  • The expiration date of the cookie
  • Whether the cookie is secure (i.e., whether it is sent only over HTTPS connections)

There are two main types of cookies based on their lifespan:

  • Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you browse a website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits to a website.

Cookies can also be categorized based on their origin:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by the website you are visiting directly. They are generally used to improve your experience on that specific website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than the website you are visiting. They are commonly used for advertising and analytics purposes by third-party service providers.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit via313-food.click for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie and sends it back to our server with every subsequent request. This allows our Website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your language preference, login status, or items in your shopping cart.

Some cookies collect information about your browsing behavior across multiple websites. For example, advertising cookies may track your visits to different websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements. Similarly, analytics cookies may collect data about how you use our Website to help us understand which pages are most popular and how visitors navigate through the site.

It is important to note that cookies themselves do not contain or collect personally identifiable information. However, the data collected by cookies may be linked to personally identifiable information that you have voluntarily provided, such as your name or email address, or that we have obtained through other means, such as your IP address.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Via 313 uses four main categories of cookies on our Website:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take that constitute a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, certain parts of our Website may not function properly or at all.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are exempt from consent requirements under applicable regulations. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around our Website, and where visitors come from. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects data about your behavior on our Website, including the pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and what actions you take. This information helps us improve the content and structure of our Website.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These 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, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Functional cookies may remember your preferences, such as your chosen language, location, or font size, so that you do not have to set these preferences every time you visit our Website. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

We use Google Ads cookies to help measure and improve the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies may track whether you have clicked on one of our advertisements and subsequently visited our Website, allowing us to measure the return on investment of our advertising spend.
