Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 29, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Davanni's. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what choices you have regarding their use, and how disabling them may affect your experience on our site.
This policy applies to all pages and services available through davannis.digital and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
This Cookie Policy complies with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other relevant consumer protection regulations.
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 and more personalized user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Davanni's) 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 a website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.
Cookies can be classified in two ways based on their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you close your browser. They are deleted automatically once you end your browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for a longer period, even after you close your browser. The duration depends on the cookie's expiration date.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and device fingerprinting to collect information about your use of our website. For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie is stored on your device. The next time you visit the same website from the same device, the server checks whether a cookie has been set and, if so, uses the information stored in the cookie. This allows the website to recognize you and tailor the experience to your preferences.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, the personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This helps us to personalize your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and provide you with relevant content and advertising.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
For our food ordering and reservation features, essential cookies allow us to maintain the items in your cart, remember your login session, and process your orders securely.
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 to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our website.
4.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the 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, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
For Davanni's, functional cookies help us remember your location preferences for finding the nearest restaurant, your menu preferences, and your preferred language or accessibility settings.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our website 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 websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
We use Google Ads and may use Meta (Facebook) Pixel for advertising purposes to reach customers who may be interested in our food, promotions, and special offers.

9. California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). In the context of cookies, this includes:

10. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals.

We will continue to monitor developments in DNT technology and regulatory requirements and will update this policy as appropriate.
