1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Factory's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to give you clear and transparent information about the cookies we use on our website pizzafactorycafe.click, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

Pizza Factory is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. As part of our online food ordering and information services, we use cookies and similar technologies to make our website work properly, improve your user experience, and understand how visitors interact with our content.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

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. These files are stored in your web browser and allow the website — or third-party services embedded in the website — to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies serve many different functions. Some cookies are essential for a website to operate correctly, while others are used to enhance functionality, analyze usage patterns, or deliver targeted advertising. Cookies generally do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but information we collect using cookies may be combined with other personal data we hold about you.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pizzafactorycafe.click for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. Each time you revisit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are embedded in that website (known as "third-party cookies"), such as advertising networks or analytics providers.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track whether you have visited certain pages or opened our emails.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your browser, device, and behavior on our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on pizzafactorycafe.click. Below, we describe each category and explain how we use them.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas of the website, and our online ordering system. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as placing a food order — cannot be provided.

Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law because they are necessary for the operation of our website. However, we disclose them here in the spirit of full transparency.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our website include:

  • Keeping track of items in your online order cart
  • Remembering your login session when you access your account
  • Maintaining security of your session
  • Ensuring the website loads correctly across different pages

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors encounter any error messages. This information is aggregated and anonymized — it does not identify individual users.

We use analytics data to improve the performance and usability of our website, identify areas where we can enhance the customer experience, and understand how our menu pages and ordering process perform.

Our primary analytics tool is Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website, which is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language preferences, or delivery address) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or leaving a comment.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. 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 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. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use advertising cookies in connection with services such as Google Ads and other digital advertising platforms. These cookies help us ensure that our promotions, special offers, and menu advertisements reach customers who are most likely to be interested in them.
