Last Updated: June 13, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Papa Ginos. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences when you visit papaginos-meals.rest.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and the way we handle your personal information. Our practices are consistent with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.

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 user experience, and to gather reporting information about how the site is used.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser when you access a website. The browser stores the cookie locally on your device, and the next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Papa Ginos) 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 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your movements from page to page so you are not asked for information you have already given during the current visit.

Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are activated every time you visit the website that created them and help the site remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits.
