This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy applies to all users of our website and is designed to comply with applicable United States privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection and transparent data practices. If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA that are addressed throughout this policy.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or any other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and collect analytical and behavioral data about site visitors.
When you visit pizzafactory.top, our web server sends a cookie file to your device's browser, which stores it locally. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.
Cookies typically contain the following information:
- The name of the server that placed the cookie
- A unique identifier (a string of letters and numbers)
- An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
- Certain settings or preferences associated with your browsing session
2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Pizza Factory when you visit our website. These cookies are essential for the basic functionality of our site and allow us to recognize you on return visits.
Third-party cookies are set by external services and partners whose content or tools we have embedded into our website (such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms). These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activity across different websites over time.
2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period of time (set by the cookie's expiration date) even after you close your browser. They are reactivated each time you visit the website that created them.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on pizzafactory.top:
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are absolutely essential for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain services and features of our website cannot be provided. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Because these cookies are essential for the website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but doing so may cause some parts of the site to stop working correctly.
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 the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and whether any errors occur. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The information generated by Google Analytics cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our 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. These cookies allow the website to remember your preferences (such as your chosen language, region, or other settings) and provide more personal features.
If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your browsing experience may be less personalized.
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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and serve relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our website (a practice known as "remarketing").
