1. Introduction

Welcome to Punch Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document explains how Punch Pizza ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website punchpizza-meal.click (the "Website"). We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our Website.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Together, these documents describe our data practices and your rights as a user.

Our use of cookies is governed by applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on online tracking and consumer protection.

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 more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide reporting and analytical information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts a website and delivered to the browser you use to view that website. Each cookie contains information that is specific to you and your browser. When you visit a website again, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookies can be categorized in several ways:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by the cookie's expiration date) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by the website you are currently visiting (in this case, punchpizza-meal.click).
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than the website you are visiting. They are usually used for advertising, analytics, and tracking purposes by external service providers.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded on web pages or in emails that allow us to track page views, email opens, and user interactions.
  • Local Storage: A feature of your browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, data stored in local storage does not have an expiration date.
  • JavaScript: Small pieces of code that are embedded in web pages to track user behavior and interactions.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's settings and characteristics to create a unique identifier for your device.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all references to "cookies" include these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise stated.

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 are usually placed by advertising networks with the Website operator's permission.
