Welcome to Pizza Luce ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors and users of our website located at cafe-pizzaluce.rest (the "Website"). It describes how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our Website, and it explains your rights and choices regarding these technologies.
By continuing to use our Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may disable them by following the instructions in Section 7 of this policy; however, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our Website.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection and fair business practices.
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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experiences, and to provide information to website operators.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you visit and are delivered to your browser. Your browser stores these cookies on your device and sends them back to the originating server each time you revisit that website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous interactions with the site.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies").
2.1 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our Website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user interactions and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
- Local Storage: A method of storing data in your browser that persists even after you close the browser window. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when the browser session ends (i.e., when you close the browser tab or window).
- JavaScript Tags: Small snippets of code that collect information about how you interact with our Website.
For the purposes of this policy, all of the above technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit cafe-pizzaluce.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie file on your device's hard drive. The next time you visit our Website, your browser reads the cookie and sends the information back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences.
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your web browser. They help websites recognize you as you navigate between pages within a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.
