1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Factory ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at pizzafactory-food.click and explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or disable them.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on online tracking and consumer privacy.

Please read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you have any questions, you may contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and stored in your browser. Each time you revisit the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on the website (known as "third-party cookies").

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you land on any page of pizzafactory-food.click, our web server may send one or more cookies to your browser. These cookies may store information such as:

  • Your session identifier so you remain logged in
  • Your language or regional preferences
  • Items you have placed in a shopping cart or order form
  • Anonymized data about how you navigate our website
  • Advertising identifiers that help us display relevant promotions

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they can be linked to personal data we hold about you when combined with other information we collect.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your visit to our website. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by the cookie's expiry date) or until you manually delete them. They are reactivated each time you return to the website that created them.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Pizza Factory uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in online order forms. Without these cookies, certain services you have asked for cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, we are disclosing them here in the spirit of transparency.

3.2 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 site. 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.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website, compiling reports and helping us improve the site. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your name for online orders, your preferred menu items, or your location. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our pages.

If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but they work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
