1. Introduction

Welcome to Punch Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website punchs-pizza.digital, and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we employ and how they affect your browsing experience.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. By accessing or using punchs-pizza.digital, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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 function more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and deliver reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and delivered to the browser you use to access the site. The browser stores the cookie locally on your device. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, when combined with other data, they can sometimes be used to identify you as an individual. This is why we treat cookie-related data with the same care and respect as any other personal information we may collect.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit punchs-pizza.digital for the first time, our server may send a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. On each subsequent visit, your browser checks whether it has a cookie from our site and, if so, sends the information contained in that cookie back to our server. This process allows our website to recognize you, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by other organizations whose content appears on the page, such as advertisers or analytics providers (known as "third-party cookies").

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and email interactions.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when you close your browser session.
• JavaScript Tags: Scripts that collect information about your interactions with our website.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on our website, each serving a distinct purpose. Below, we explain each category in detail:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and certain features may not be available to you.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under applicable U.S. law. However, we include them here in the interest of full transparency.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how users interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our site, including your IP address (which is anonymized), your browser type, the pages you visit, and how long you spend on each page.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These 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 added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or the region you are in, and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Note that disabling advertising cookies does not mean you will stop seeing ads — it simply means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

We will continue to monitor developments regarding DNT standards and may update this policy accordingly.
