Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Punch Pizza ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website punchpizzafood.rest. By continuing to browse or use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and allow websites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized and efficient browsing experience.

Cookies are widely used across the internet. They serve many purposes: some cookies are essential for a website to function correctly, while others help website owners understand how visitors interact with their content, deliver targeted advertisements, or remember user settings.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, the data collected through cookies may be linked to personal information that you have voluntarily provided to us.

1.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit punchpizzafood.rest, our web server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back to our server on your next visit. This process allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, maintain session continuity, and deliver content relevant to your interests.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page was viewed or an email was opened.
• Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater capacity.
• Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when your browser session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Scripts that collect information about your browsing behavior for analytics and advertising purposes.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Understanding these categories will help you make informed choices about your cookie preferences.

2.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies enable core website functionality such as page navigation, secure access, and basic user interface features. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate properly. Because they are technically necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable law.

Examples of what essential cookies do include:

• Maintaining your session while you browse multiple pages
• Remembering items in your online order or cart
• Ensuring secure form submissions
• Enabling load balancing across our servers

2.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your location preferences, language settings, or previously viewed menu items. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or using a live chat feature.

Disabling functional cookies may affect the quality and personalization of your experience on our website, but the site will still be accessible.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, where visitors come from, and what errors users encounter. This information is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally.

We use this data to improve the layout, content, and overall performance of punchpizzafood.rest. Our primary analytics provider is Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC.

2.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies, also known as targeting cookies, are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They remember that you have visited our website and may share this information with advertising networks and other third parties. These cookies may also be used to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

We may use advertising cookies from providers such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). The information collected through these cookies may be combined with data from other sources to build a profile of your interests.

7. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law

As a business operating in the United States, Punch Pizza is committed to respecting your privacy rights under applicable federal and state law.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information is collected about them, including via cookies
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
• Delete personal information collected through cookies and other means
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Limit the use of sensitive personal information
• Not be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights

We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense; however, the sharing of data with advertising partners through cookies may constitute "sharing" under CPRA.

Residents of other U.S. states with active privacy legislation (including but not limited to Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and Utah) may have similar rights. We honor valid privacy requests from all U.S. residents to the best of our ability.

The duration for which cookie data is retained varies depending on the type of cookie. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire (as shown in the table in Section 3) or until you manually delete them through your browser settings.

Where personal data is associated with cookie activity, we retain that data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

We reserve the right to update this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through a notice on our website or via email.
