Welcome to Pizza Luce. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website, pizzaluce-meal.click. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and our collection and processing of personal data. By using our website, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie 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. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the website.

Cookies are created by the web server and stored in your browser. Each cookie contains a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. When you return to a website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They are simple text files that can only be read by the website that created them.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Pizza Luce when you visit pizzaluce-meal.click. These cookies are only accessible by our website.

Third-party cookies are set by external services and partners, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms, whose content or features appear on our website. These cookies may track your activity across multiple websites.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They help the website function correctly during a single browsing session.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They allow the website to recognize you when you return and remember your preferences.
