2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable certain functionalities.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you visit and are sent to your browser when you load the site. Your browser then stores the cookie locally on your device. Each time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.
Cookies do not typically contain personal information that directly identifies you, but the information they store may be linked to personal data we hold about you, or personal data obtained from third parties. Cookies serve a variety of purposes, including:
- Remembering your preferences and settings
- Keeping you logged in to your account
- Understanding how you interact with our website
- Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- Delivering relevant advertisements
- Improving website performance and user experience
2.1 Types of Cookie Storage Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, our website may also use similar tracking technologies, including:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.
- First-Party Cookies: Cookies that are set by the website you are visiting directly.
- Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically used by advertisers and analytics providers.
- Web Beacons / Pixel Tags: Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and email open rates.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Pizza Luce uses the following categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a different purpose and has different implications for your privacy and user experience.
3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as viewing menu items or placing an online order, cannot be provided. Because these cookies are essential to the operation of our website, they cannot be disabled without severely affecting your experience.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to count visits, traffic sources, and see which pages are most and least popular. This information helps us improve the way our website works and ensures we can provide a better experience for all users.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to track visitor behavior and compile reports for us. All data collected by Google Analytics is aggregated and anonymized before it is reported to us.
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 us to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or other preferences, and to provide a more personalized experience.
If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and certain features of our website may become unavailable or behave unexpectedly.
3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful 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 typically placed by advertising networks with our permission.
We use Google Ads and may use Facebook Pixel to run targeted advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited our website and may use this information to show you our advertisements on other websites and social media platforms. This is commonly referred to as "remarketing" or "retargeting."
