1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Factory ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzafactory.digital, and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and respecting your privacy rights under applicable United States laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection practices nationwide.

By accessing or using pizzafactory.digital, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the methods described in this policy. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and user experience of our website.

For any questions, concerns, or requests related to this Cookie Policy, you may contact us using the information 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 work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to gather analytical information about how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies are created by your web browser at the request of the website you are visiting. They are stored locally on your device and are sent back to the originating website each time you visit it, or to other websites that recognize that particular cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your device. Each cookie is unique to your web browser and typically contains the following information:

• The name of the website that set the cookie
• A unique identifier (usually a randomly generated number)
• An expiration date (for persistent cookies)
• Various pieces of information relevant to the website's functionality

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Pizza Factory (the website you are visiting) and can only be read by our website. They are primarily used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our platform.

Third-party cookies are set by external service providers and partners — such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms — that deliver features or services on our behalf. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activities across different websites over time.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These cookies are essential for navigating our website smoothly.

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a defined period or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. How We Use Cookies

Pizza Factory uses cookies for a variety of purposes, all of which are aimed at providing you with a safe, efficient, and personalized experience on our food ordering and information platform. Specifically, we use cookies to:

• Ensure the website functions correctly and securely
• Remember your preferences, such as language settings or location
• Analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve its content and structure
• Understand the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns
• Deliver relevant advertisements based on your browsing interests
• Enable social media features and integrations
• Prevent fraudulent activity and enhance security

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types. Below is a detailed description of each category:

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are indispensable for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain core features of pizzafactory.digital — such as navigating between pages, completing an online order, or accessing secure areas — would not function. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be switched off in our systems. You may, however, set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but doing so will impair the website's ability to function correctly.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to measure and analyze how visitors interact with our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how users navigate between sections, how long they spend on each page, and where visitors come from. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — it does not directly identify you. We use this data to continuously improve the performance and user experience of our website. The primary analytics service we use is Google Analytics.

4.3 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 pages. These cookies can remember choices you make — such as your preferred pizza customizations, saved addresses for delivery orders, or accessibility settings — so you do not have to re-enter this information every time you visit. If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these features may not work as intended.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies, also referred to as targeting or marketing cookies, are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to you. They are set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and social media platforms. These cookies track your browsing habits across multiple websites to build a profile of your interests and show you tailored advertisements. They also measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns by tracking whether users who see our ads subsequently visit our website or place an order. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers; however, these cookies may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal data under the CCPA/CPRA. California residents have the right to opt out of such use.

5. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below provides detailed information about the specific cookies currently in use on pizzafactory.digital, including their names, purposes, types, and durations.

Note: The cookies listed above represent our current usage and may be updated periodically as we add or remove services. Please revisit this policy regularly for the most up-to-date information.

6. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline cookies (with the exception of strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the website to operate). There are several ways to manage your cookie preferences:

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to:

• Accept all cookies (default setting in most browsers)
• Notify you when a cookie is being set, allowing you to accept or decline it individually
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Block all third-party cookies
• Block all cookies entirely
• Delete existing cookies from your browser

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

6.2 Opt-Out Tools Provided by Third Parties

In addition to browser settings, many third-party analytics and advertising providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms:

• Google Analytics Opt-Out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have every right to restrict or disable cookies, it is important to understand how doing so may affect your experience on pizzafactory.digital:

• Essential Cookies: If you disable essential cookies, core website functions — including login, shopping cart management, and order processing — will not work. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
• Analytics Cookies: Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the website. However, it will prevent us from improving our services based on user behavior data, which may indirectly affect the quality of future updates.
• Functional Cookies: Disabling functional cookies means that your preferences and personalization settings will not be saved between visits. You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit the site.
• Advertising Cookies: Disabling advertising cookies will not prevent advertisements from appearing; it will only make the ads you see less relevant to your interests. You may continue to see generic advertisements instead of personalized ones.

8. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data, including data 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 and how it is used
• Request deletion of their personal information
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information
• Non-discrimination for exercising their privacy rights
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information

The use of advertising cookies on our website may constitute the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under California law. If you are a California resident and wish to exercise your opt-out rights, please use the opt-out tools listed in Section 6.2 or contact us directly using the information below.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act also requires that our data collection and use practices are fair, transparent, and not deceptive. This Cookie Policy is part of our commitment to FTC compliance.
