1. Introduction

Welcome to Punch Pizza ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). We operate the website punchpizza-eat.rest (the "Website") to provide you with information about our food services, menu options, online ordering, and other related offerings. To improve your browsing experience and deliver relevant content and services, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Website.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide website operators with analytical information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on the website (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies may be stored on your device either for a single browsing session ("session cookies") or for a longer, defined period ("persistent cookies").

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
Local Storage: Browser-based storage that enables websites to store data locally on your device for improved performance.
JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your interactions with our Website.

For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit punchpizza-eat.rest, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser then stores this cookie on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This is done to improve our Website and your experience, to allow us to improve our services, and to personalize content and advertising relevant to you.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our Website:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our Website. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested cannot be provided.

These cookies do not require your consent under applicable law, but we still believe in transparency about their use.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits to our Website and measure traffic sources so we can understand how users interact with our content. They help us identify which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors navigate our site, and whether they encounter any error messages.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are 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. However, you will still see advertisements; they simply may be less relevant to your interests.
