1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizza Luce. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website, pizzaluce-meal.rest. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Together, these documents explain our overall approach to data handling in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act).
If you have any questions about how we use cookies or this Cookie 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 when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Luce) 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.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit pizzaluce-meal.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it either temporarily (for the duration of your session) or permanently (until it expires or is deleted). Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the stored cookies back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.
Cookies generally contain the following information:
- The name of the cookie
- A unique identifier (ID)
- The domain it belongs to
- An expiration date
- Various attributes such as security flags
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies.
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after your browser is closed, until their set expiration date or until you manually delete them. They allow our website to recognize you on return visits.
3. Why Do We Use Cookies?
Pizza Luce uses cookies for a variety of reasons, all of which are designed to improve your experience on our website and help us deliver better services. Specifically, we use cookies to:
- Ensure the website functions correctly and securely
- Remember your preferences and settings
- Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- Deliver relevant online advertising about our food offerings and promotions
- Analyze the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- Prevent fraud and enhance security
- Enable social media features and sharing capabilities
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on pizzaluce-meal.rest into four main types:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the operation of our website. Without them, certain services and features — such as placing an online food order, logging into your account, or accessing secure areas of the site — would not work. Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law because they are strictly necessary to provide you with the service you have requested. However, you can still block them in your browser settings, though doing so may significantly impair your ability to use the website.
Examples include cookies that maintain your session state, shopping cart contents, and security tokens.
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, and determine which pages are most and least popular. This information helps us improve the performance of our website and the overall user experience.
We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data about your visits to our site, including pages viewed, time spent on each page, and how you arrived at our site. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable us to provide enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, your location for delivery purposes, or your pizza customization preferences, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit.
If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these personalized services may not function properly.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising 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 measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing cookies, as well as cookies from other advertising partners. These may track your browsing activity across multiple websites.

9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers and mobile operating systems include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature or setting that you can activate to signal your preference that data about your online browsing activities not be monitored and collected.

If a standard for DNT is adopted in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly.
