🍪 Zhawarma Cookie Policy

Because your privacy matters—even in crumbs.

At Zhawarma, we believe in full transparency—especially when it comes to how we handle your data. Cookies are small, anonymous files stored in your browser to help improve your experience on our site. Nothing sneaky. Nothing unnecessary.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. But keep in mind: saying no might affect how certain features of our website work, like your cart or login session.

🔍 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny pieces of data (like login preferences or cart contents) that let websites remember you. They make your browsing experience smoother and more personalized.

We use them to:

  • Remember your shopping cart

  • Keep you logged in (if you choose)

  • Load the site faster for return visits

  • Deliver a smoother, more secure experience

🧠 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit Zhawarma, our servers send a unique identifier to your browser. Your browser stores this as a cookie. When you return, it tells us you’ve been here before—and we can pick up where you left off.

This makes things like checking out faster, remembering your filters, and keeping your account session active seamless and secure.

🛡️ Types of Cookies We Use

Session Cookies
These only stick around while you’re browsing. They vanish when you close your browser. Think of them like disposable notes—useful in the moment, then gone.

Persistent Cookies
These remember you between visits. They store login status, preferences, and browsing history. You can delete them any time in your browser settings.

🧾 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies
Set by Zhawarma directly. These are safe, and help us give you a better, more secure experience.

Third-Party Cookies
We keep these to a bare minimum. Some analytics or embedded tools may set them—but we don’t allow shady trackers. Most browsers now give you the option to block third-party cookies by default.

⚙️ How to Manage or Remove Cookies

You’re in full control.

  • Go to your browser settings (usually under “Privacy”)

  • You can view, remove, or block cookies anytime

  • Want more privacy? Consider using private browsing, VPNs, or cookie-blocking browser extensions

We recommend clearing cookies every so often—just like cleaning out your stash box.

⚖️ GDPR, CCPA & Your Rights

Zhawarma complies with data protection laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
We only use cookies with a legitimate purpose—and you’ll always have the option to opt in, opt out, or manage preferences your way.

🧼 In Short:

  • We use cookies to improve performance—not spy on you

  • You can opt out or manage them any time

  • Your data, your choice

  • We’ll never use cookies to exploit, sell, or misuse your information
