1. Introduction

Welcome to Punch Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on delivery-punchpizza.click, and the choices you have regarding their use.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website and is intended to help you understand our data practices in accordance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

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. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, provide better user experiences, and deliver reporting information.

Cookies are sent to your browser from the website you visit and stored on your device. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions. Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies"), while others are set by third-party services operating on behalf of the website owner ("third-party cookies").

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit our website for the first time, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a specific folder on your device. Each time you revisit our website, your browser retrieves this cookie and sends it back to our web server. This process allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, maintain your session, remember your preferences, and provide you with a personalized experience.

Cookies can be either session cookies, which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. Cookies may also vary in scope — some operate only on our domain while others may track your activity across multiple websites.

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A type of web storage that allows websites to store data locally in your browser with no expiration date.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device to identify and track your activity across websites.

References to "cookies" in this policy also apply to these similar technologies where applicable.
