1. Introduction

Welcome to Punch Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website punchpizza-food.click, the types of cookies we use, and how you can manage or disable them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. We operate in accordance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, 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, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to gather reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Punch Pizza — are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies allow third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your computer.

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our server sends a small text file (a cookie) to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website, or visit a page on our site, your browser sends these cookies back to our server. This allows us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies can be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. The duration of each cookie we use is outlined in the cookie table below.

4. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Punch Pizza uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of reasons, including:

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for cannot be provided.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may not work as a result.

5.2 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, and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect this type of data. 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.

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 websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
