Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Introduction

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

We are committed to being transparent about our data collection practices. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please 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-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Pizza Factory — 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.

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed and can remain on your device for a set period of time, as defined in the cookie itself.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, our server sends a small file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain preferences or actions. Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images (often invisible) embedded in web pages or emails that track page visits or email opens.
• Local Storage: HTML5 local storage allows websites to store data on your browser with no expiration date, functioning similarly to persistent cookies.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• Scripts: Pieces of JavaScript code that can collect information about how you interact with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each serves a distinct purpose as described below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure login, and access to protected areas of the site. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as placing an online order or using the shopping cart — cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect information about you for marketing purposes and cannot be switched off in our systems.

These cookies are set in response to actions you take that constitute a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

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 understand which pages are most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and whether users are experiencing any errors. 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 website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 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. They allow us to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or region) and provide improved, more personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 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 sites. 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 these cookies to make our marketing efforts more relevant and efficient.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below provides detailed information about the specific cookies used on pizzafactory-eat.rest, including their name, purpose, type, and duration.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

We operate under the laws of the United States, and our use of cookies is governed by applicable federal and state privacy regulations, including:

• The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, which may include certain advertising cookies.
• The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act: We comply with FTC guidelines regarding unfair or deceptive acts or practices, including transparency in our data collection practices.
• CAN-SPAM Act and other applicable federal regulations: Where relevant, these govern electronic communications and related tracking.

For cookies that are not strictly necessary, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings as described in Section 6 below.

6. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. There are several ways to manage your cookie preferences.

6.3 Opt-Out Tools for Specific Third-Party Services

You can opt out of specific third-party tracking services using the tools provided by those services:

6.4 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, you can use the other opt-out methods described in this section to limit tracking.
