Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Factory ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizza-factory.rest, what types of cookies we use, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. This 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 pizza-factory.rest, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described in this policy, though this may affect your experience on our website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to deliver a better and more personalized experience to users.

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 — for example, advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer or 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 pizza-factory.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie and sends it back to our server on your next visit. This allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your preferences, and deliver a more seamless experience.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This allows us to provide you with a personalized experience and to recognize you as a logged-in user, where applicable.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser. They are used to maintain session information, such as keeping you logged in as you navigate through our website.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Pizza Factory uses the following categories of cookies on pizza-factory.rest:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and processing your online orders. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Under applicable U.S. law, including guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), strictly necessary cookies that do not involve the collection of personal data for marketing purposes generally do not require prior consent. However, we still believe in full transparency about their use.

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 understand 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. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the 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 services may not function properly. For example, functional cookies may remember your location to show you relevant store hours or menu items.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly 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. These practices may be subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, which may classify certain advertising cookie activities as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

This table reflects cookies in use as of May 22, 2026. Cookie usage may be updated periodically. Please check this policy regularly for changes.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the website, deliver advertisements on and through the website, and so on. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them:

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable certain cookies, doing so may have an impact on your experience when using pizza-factory.rest. Below is a summary of the potential impacts:

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, we respect your right to privacy and encourage you to use the opt-out tools described in Section 6.3 above to control tracking.

9. California Residents — Your Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) regarding the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies, particularly as they relate to the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, some activities involving advertising cookies — such as sharing browser identifiers with third-party advertising networks — may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. You have the right to opt out of such activities by:

• Using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on our website.
• Enabling the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser, which we will honor as an opt-out request.
• Contacting us directly at [email protected].

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

10. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our business operations, or for other reasons. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Cookie Policy on our website with a new "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. Your continued use of pizza-factory.rest after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

If we make material changes that significantly affect your rights or the way we use cookies, we will provide a more prominent notice, such as a banner on our website or a direct notification if we have your contact information.
