This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Together, these documents describe our full data practices in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

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 to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide information to the website owner about how visitors interact with their site.

Cookies are sent by a web server to your browser and stored on your device. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the stored cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit eat-punchpizza.rest, our web server sends a cookie file to your browser. The browser stores this file and sends it back to our server each time you make a subsequent request. Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address), but only if you have provided that information to us directly. Websites cannot access information stored in cookies from other websites.

There are two main types of cookies based on their lifespan:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to remember you as you move between pages on a website during a single browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them and serve functions such as remembering your login details or preferences between visits.

2.2 First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can also be classified by their origin:

• First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by eat-punchpizza.rest and can only be read by our website. They are used primarily for essential functions and to improve your experience on our site.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external services that we use on our website, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks. Third-party cookies allow these services to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on eat-punchpizza.rest. Each category serves a distinct purpose and has different implications for your privacy.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without them, certain parts of the site would not work correctly. Essential cookies do not require your consent under most applicable laws because they are strictly necessary to deliver a service that you have requested. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and online ordering functions.

Examples of functions supported by essential cookies include:

• Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
• Remembering items you have added to your order
• Ensuring the security of your browsing session
• Enabling you to submit forms and complete transactions

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the structure, content, and functionality of eat-punchpizza.rest. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, which sets cookies to help us analyze website traffic and usage patterns.

Information collected through analytics cookies includes the number of visitors to our site, the pages they visit most frequently, the time they spend on each page, and how they arrived at our website. All data collected is aggregated and anonymized to the extent possible.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can remember your location preferences, your preferred menu language, or your saved delivery address. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and may use remarketing cookies to show relevant Punch Pizza advertisements to users who have previously visited our website. We may also use social media tracking pixels from platforms such as Meta (Facebook) to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on those platforms.
