Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how papaginosusa.com uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function and provide information about how it is used. This page covers what cookies are, which ones this site relies on, how third-party services fit in, and the settings you can change in your own browser.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small file stored by your browser when you visit a site. It allows the site to recognize your device on later visits or during the same session.

Cookies do not by themselves identify you by name. They typically contain a unique identifier and settings related to your use of the site. When you return to papaginosusa.com, that identifier lets the site remember choices you already made, such as a delivery address you typed on the ordering page, instead of asking you for them again.

Some cookies last only while your browser stays open. These are called session cookies and they disappear when you close the tab. Others, called persistent cookies, stay on your device for a set period and are read again on your next visit. Both kinds are used here, and neither one contains your payment details or your name.

If you browse our menu, look up a Papa Gino's near you, or start an online order, the site reads these files to keep that visit consistent from one page to the next.

Two groups of cookies do the work on this site: the ones that keep it running, and the ones that tell us how it is being used.

Types of cookies we use

Every cookie on papaginosusa.com falls into one of two groups. The list below describes what each group does, why it is here, and what changes if you turn it off.

Strictly necessary cookies

Required for the site to function, such as remembering form state or security settings. Without them, parts of the site may not work correctly.

In practice this covers keeping an unfinished order intact while you move between menu pages, holding the restaurant you selected so it is not lost on refresh, and protecting forms from misuse. These cookies cannot be switched off from inside the site without affecting how ordering and browsing work.

Analytics cookies

Help us understand how visitors use the site, including which pages are viewed and how long visitors stay. This information is used in aggregate to improve the site.

Aggregate means we look at patterns across many visits rather than tracking one person. If a menu page turns out to be hard to read on phones, or visitors leave a location page without finding hours, that shows up as a pattern we can act on. You can block these cookies without losing any ordering or browsing function.

We do not run advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on this site, and we do not sell information gathered through cookies.

Third-party cookies

Set by other services

Some cookies may be set by third-party services used on this site, such as analytics providers.

These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend reviewing. When you open one of their policy pages, you will find the exact retention periods and opt-out routes they support.

We do not control third-party cookies directly, but we choose providers with standard data protection practices and we keep the list of services on this site short on purpose.

Before you accept

  • Check which provider the cookie belongs to before deciding.
  • Read the provider's own cookie notice for retention details.
  • Block third-party cookies in your browser if you prefer to skip them.

Blocking them does not stop you from reading the menu, finding a restaurant, or placing an order.

Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. The wording differs between Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge, but the controls live in the privacy or site-data section of each browser's settings.

What each choice changes

  • Block third-party cookies only Site keeps working normally; analytics simply stop counting your visit.
  • Delete existing cookies Stored preferences such as a chosen restaurant or delivery address are cleared.
  • Block all cookies Some features of this site may not function as intended, and an order in progress may be lost.

Consent

Where required by applicable law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or, where available, through the site's cookie controls.

Continued use of the site after consent indicates your acceptance of the cookies described here. Withdrawing consent stops new non-essential cookies from being set; it does not remove files already stored, which you can clear from your browser.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable requirements. The revised version takes effect when posted on this page.

When a change affects what you are agreeing to, we will update the review date shown at the top of this page so returning visitors can see that the text has moved. Reading the page again after an update is the simplest way to stay current.

Questions visitors ask about cookies

Do cookies identify me by name?

No. A cookie holds a unique identifier and settings tied to your browser, not your name. Information that does identify you, such as the details you enter to place an order, is covered by our Privacy Policy instead.

Will blocking cookies stop me from ordering?

Blocking analytics cookies changes nothing about ordering. Blocking every cookie can interrupt an order in progress, because the site can no longer remember the restaurant you picked or the items you added. If ordering matters to you, allow cookies for this site and block only third-party ones.

How do I clear cookies already stored?

Open your browser settings, find the section for privacy, site data or stored files, and delete the entries for papaginosusa.com. Any saved restaurant selection or unfinished order on this device will be cleared along with them.
