Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 13, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Factory ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate the website factorypizza-food.click (the "Website") and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we place on your device, and how you can control and manage your cookie preferences.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we process your personal data and your rights under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act for all consumers in the United States.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this policy, 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 ("device") when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable certain functionalities.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Factory) 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 (e.g., 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 also 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 onto your device. Each time you revisit our Website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to our website's server. Cookies allow our Website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit — such as your preferred settings, shopping cart contents, or login status — making your next visit easier and the Website more useful to you.

Cookies generally do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Some cookies are only active during a single browsing session (session cookies), while others persist for a set period of time or indefinitely (persistent cookies).

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track page views, email opens, and navigation paths across our website.
  • Local Storage: A feature of your web browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that only lasts for the duration of your current browser session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code used to collect data about how you interact with our Website.

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

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Pizza Factory uses cookies for a variety of reasons. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the technical operation of our Website and cannot be switched off in our systems. Others help us to improve your experience on our Website, understand how it is being used, serve relevant advertisements, and support our marketing efforts. We detail each category below.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into the following types:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse the Website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site or placing an online order. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — like completing a food order — cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings as described below, but this will affect the functionality of the Website.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor directly. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information to improve how our Website works and to understand our audience better.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to help us understand how users engage with our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, the region you are in, or your preferred pizza customizations) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. 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 services may not function properly.

4.4 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. These cookies are often placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to promote our pizza offerings and special deals. These services use cookies to track conversions and serve targeted advertisements.

7. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have the right and ability to control the use of cookies on your device. There are several ways in which you can manage your cookie preferences:

7.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Tools," or "Preferences" menu of your browser. You can set your browser to:

  • Notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the option to accept or decline it
  • Automatically decline all cookies
  • Automatically delete cookies when you close your browser
  • Accept cookies only from websites you visit directly (which would block third-party cookies)

Below are links to cookie management instructions for the most popular browsers:

For mobile devices, please refer to your device's operating system documentation for information on how to manage app and browser cookies.

7.2 Opt-Out Tools Provided by Third Parties

Many of our third-party service providers also offer their own opt-out mechanisms:

7.3 Our Cookie Consent Tool

When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your cookie preferences by category. You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link available in the footer of our Website.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to manage and disable cookies, it is important to understand that doing so may affect your experience on our Website and limit certain features and services we are able to offer you. The following outlines the potential impact of disabling cookies by category:

8.1 Disabling Essential Cookies

8.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies

Disabling analytics cookies (such as those from Google Analytics) means we will no longer be able to collect data on how you use our Website. While this will not affect your ability to browse or order from our Website, it limits our ability to understand and improve user experience based on real usage data.

8.3 Disabling Functional Cookies

If you disable functional cookies, the Website will not be able to remember your preferences, such as your location, preferred pizza store, or previous order preferences. You may find that you need to re-enter information more frequently and that the Website feels less personalized to your needs.

8.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies

Disabling advertising cookies will not stop you from seeing advertisements altogether. However, the ads you see will be less relevant to your interests and behavior. You may see the same ads repeated more often, as the frequency-capping features of advertising cookies will no longer apply. Our advertising partners will continue to serve ads, but they will be generic rather than tailored.

9. Your Rights Under US Privacy Law

Depending on your state of residence, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including data collected through cookies. For California residents, the CCPA and CPRA grant you the following rights:
