1. Introduction
Welcome to Via 313 ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at meal-via313.click and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we handle your personal data in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

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 efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Via 313 — 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits our website and when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit meal-via313.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit — such as your preferences, what was in your shopping cart, or whether you were logged in.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them) or "session-based" (deleted automatically when you close your browser). Cookies can also be categorized as "secure" (only transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections) or standard cookies.
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
Via 313 uses cookies for several important purposes:
- To operate and secure our website: Certain cookies are essential for our site to function properly, enabling you to navigate and use its features.
- To remember your preferences: Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make, such as your language preference or region.
- To analyze and improve our services: Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most popular, and where improvements can be made.
- To deliver relevant advertising: Advertising cookies allow us and our partners to show you advertisements that are more relevant to your interests, including on third-party websites.
- To measure advertising effectiveness: We use cookies to track the performance of our marketing campaigns and understand how users arrive at our site.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on meal-via313.click into four main types:

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 site.

4.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, your username, and choices you have made. 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.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
