Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 4, 2026

1. 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. These files are stored in your web browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and browsing behavior.

Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember information or to record your browsing activity. They help make your online experience more efficient and personalized by allowing websites to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering this information each time you visit a new page or return to the site.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that provide content or functionality on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Each cookie typically includes the name of the website it came from, how long it will remain on your device, and a unique identifier.

2. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website at pizzapunch-food.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies can work in several ways:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Session cookies are used to maintain your session as you navigate through our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits to our website.
  • First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Punch Pizza on our website domain.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external services and partners, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks, when you visit our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type and how we use them.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as "strictly necessary" cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website cannot function properly. These cookies do not require your consent as they are strictly necessary for the delivery of our online services.

Essential cookies enable core functionalities such as:

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 measure and improve the performance of our website, understand which pages are most popular, and identify any errors or issues visitors may experience.

The data collected through analytics cookies helps us make informed decisions about how to improve our website content, design, and functionality to better serve our customers. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify individual visitors.

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 integrated into our website. These cookies remember choices you make and preferences you set, such as:

  • Your location for delivery purposes
  • Remembering your login details (if you choose "Remember Me")

If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.

Advertising cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements to you both on our website and on other websites you visit. These cookies track your browsing habits and allow us and our advertising partners to show you ads that are more likely to be of interest to you. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

7.1 Disabling Essential Cookies

Because essential cookies are strictly necessary for the basic functioning of our website, it is generally not possible to disable them through our cookie preference tools. You may be able to block these cookies through your browser settings, but doing so will significantly impair your ability to use our website. You may not be able to:

  • Add items to your shopping cart or complete an order
  • Log in to your account
  • Access secure areas of the website
  • Use payment features safely

7.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies

If you disable analytics cookies, we will not be able to collect data about your visit to our website. This means we cannot use this information to improve our website and services. Your browsing experience will not be significantly affected, but it does limit our ability to understand how visitors use our site and make meaningful improvements.

7.3 Disabling Functional Cookies

Disabling functional cookies may result in a less personalized experience on our website. You may need to re-enter your preferences and information each time you visit, such as your delivery address, language preference, and login details. Certain features that rely on remembering your past interactions may not work correctly.

7.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies

If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements when you browse the internet, but they will be less targeted and relevant to your interests. Opting out of advertising cookies does not mean you will stop seeing ads entirely; it simply means the ads displayed to you will be less personalized.

8. Your Rights Under Applicable Law

As a resident of the United States, you have certain rights regarding your personal data and how it is collected through cookies. 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
  • Know whether their personal information is sold or disclosed, and to whom
  • Opt out of the sale of their personal information
  • Request deletion of their personal information
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights

Residents of other states may also have similar rights under state-specific privacy legislation. The FTC Act also provides consumer protection standards that govern how we collect and use data through cookies and similar technologies.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in the Contact Information section below.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted and acted upon. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

However, you can use the opt-out tools and browser settings described in Section 6 of this policy to control the collection of your data through cookies.

10. Cookie Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our business operations, or the cookies we use. Any changes we make will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Where the changes are significant, we may also choose to notify you by email or by displaying a prominent notice on our website.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and how you can manage your preferences. Your continued use of our website after any changes to this policy are published will be deemed as your acceptance of those changes.
