Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 21, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Punch Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website punchpizza-eat.digital (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what choices you have regarding their use, and how they affect your browsing experience on our Website.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing unfair or deceptive practices, and other applicable state and federal regulations governing digital privacy and consumer data rights.

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, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies are stored in your web browser and allow the website — or third parties — to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, shopping cart contents, and browsing behavior.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Punch Pizza) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our Website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. Each time you subsequently visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the website's server. This allows the server to identify your browser and remember information about your previous visits, preferences, and actions.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the website from which the cookie originated
  • The duration or lifetime of the cookie
  • A unique identifier number (usually a randomly generated string of numbers and letters)
  • Information stored by the cookie (such as user preferences or session data)

It is important to note that cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but when combined with other information we hold about you, they can help us identify you as a user.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views, email opens, and user behavior.
  • Local Storage: A feature of your web browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when your browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: Collecting information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.

For simplicity, all these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on our Website, each serving a distinct purpose. These can be categorized as follows:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as accessing secure areas of the website or completing an online order — cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you can set your browser to block them, but this may cause parts of the Website to stop working properly.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether users encounter any error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It does not identify you personally.

We use this data to improve how our Website works, to understand what content is most engaging, and to optimize the user experience for our customers. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics provider.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you have made in the past — such as your language preference, your location, or your login details — and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of the Website.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

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. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to reach customers and potential customers with relevant promotions related to Punch Pizza.
