1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Factory. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on pizzafactorynow.click, as well as the choices you have regarding their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Together, these documents form our commitment to your privacy and data security under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and applicable FTC regulations.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to give website owners information about how their site is being used.

When you visit pizzafactorynow.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a designated folder on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.

2.1 How Cookies Work

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • Name: The identifier given to the cookie.
  • Value: The data stored within the cookie.
  • Domain: The website that created and has access to the cookie.
  • Expiry Date: When the cookie will automatically be deleted.
  • Path: Specifies which pages on the domain the cookie applies to.

Cookies are generally safe. They cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are unique to you and can only be read by the web server in the domain that issued them.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to remember your actions during a single browsing session, such as items in your online cart or login status.

Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a specified period (days, months, or even years) after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences or login details for future visits.

2.3 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Pizza Factory through our website pizzafactorynow.click. We use them to improve your experience on our site.

Third-Party Cookies: These are set by third parties, such as Google or Facebook, whose services we use on our website. These third parties may use cookies to track your online activity across multiple websites for advertising and analytics purposes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on pizzafactorynow.click:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of the website cannot be provided. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as filling in forms, logging in, or setting your privacy preferences. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be turned off in our systems.

These cookies allow us to count visits to our website and understand how visitors move around our site. This helps us improve the way our website works by ensuring that users can find what they are looking for easily. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — we cannot identify you individually from this data.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how visitors use our site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can be used to remember your language preference or remember your location when you search for our nearest Pizza Factory outlet. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used by us and our advertising partners (such as Google Ads and Facebook) to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still experience advertising, but it will be less tailored to your interests.

5. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies on our website:

5.1 Web Beacons (Pixel Tags)

Web beacons are tiny graphic images (often invisible) embedded in web pages or emails. They are used to monitor user behavior, such as whether an email has been opened or a particular page has been visited. When your browser renders a web page containing a web beacon, it sends a request to the server, which can record your IP address, the time, and other information.

5.2 Local Storage

We may use HTML5 local storage to store data locally in your browser. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not automatically sent to the server with every request. We use local storage for performance purposes and to improve your experience on our website.

5.3 JavaScript Tags

We use JavaScript tags and tracking scripts from third-party services (such as Google Analytics and Google Ads) to collect information about your interactions with our website. These scripts may set cookies or use other tracking methods.

While you have the right to manage your cookie preferences, it is important to understand that disabling certain types of cookies may affect your experience on pizzafactorynow.click. Below is a summary of what may happen if you disable each type of cookie:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies These cannot be disabled as they are required for the website to function. Blocking them through your browser may cause the website to break or key features (such as online ordering, login, and the shopping cart) to stop working entirely.
Analytics Cookies We will no longer be able to gather information about how you use our website, which means we may not be able to improve our site based on user behavior. Your experience will not be directly affected, but our ability to enhance the website for all users will be reduced.
Functional Cookies The website may not remember your preferences (such as location, language, or previously viewed items), meaning you may need to re-enter information each time you visit. The site will still work, but some personalized features will be unavailable.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your interests or browsing behavior. You may also see the same ads repeatedly. Your general browsing experience will not be significantly affected, but ads may be less relevant to you.
