Last Updated: May 21, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Via 313's Cookie Policy. At Via 313, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website food-via313.click, the types of cookies we use, and your choices regarding cookies.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

Via 313 is a food business operating in the United States and is subject to applicable U.S. federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act for general consumer protection standards.

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 provide reporting information.

When you visit a website, the website sends a cookie to your device. Your browser stores the cookie in a file located inside your web browser. The cookie then sends information back to the originating website each time you return, or to another website that recognizes that cookie.

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.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

Every time you visit our website, your browser retrieves the cookie file and sends the information in it back to our server or to the servers of the third-party services we use. This allows our website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or previous actions.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted once you close your browser. Both types serve important functions in how our website operates and how we understand our audience.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on our website. The following categories describe the cookies used by Via 313 and the purposes for which they are used:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as "strictly necessary" cookies) are required for the basic functionality of our website. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website would not work properly. These cookies do not collect any personal information that could be used for marketing or to track your browsing activity on other websites.

These cookies are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may not work properly as a result.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

We primarily use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics places several cookies on your device to track your session on our website and provide us with aggregated data about our audience and their behavior on our site.

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

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, your region, or other customizations, in order to provide a more personalized experience each time you visit.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners, such as Google Ads.

These cookies may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
