Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Luce ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzalucefood.click, and what choices you have regarding their use.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act and, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents.

Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you can adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below, 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-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting and analytics information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the browser. The browser then stores the cookie locally, and the next time you visit the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-party cookies are cookies set directly by Pizza Luce (i.e., by the pizzalucefood.click domain). They are used to improve your experience on our site and remember your preferences.
  • Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than pizzalucefood.click. These are typically placed by our trusted partners and service providers, such as Google Analytics or advertising networks, to help us understand how visitors interact with our site and to deliver relevant advertisements.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session cookies are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They do not collect information from your device and expire at the end of your browsing session.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie or until you delete them manually. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

2.3 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web beacons (pixel tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views, email opens, and link clicks.
  • Local storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • JavaScript tags: Small pieces of code embedded in our website that help collect data about user interactions.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Pizza Luce uses four main categories of cookies on pizzalucefood.click:

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as completing an online order or accessing a secure area of the website — cannot be provided. You cannot opt out of these cookies as they are fundamental to the website's operation.

Essential cookies help us:

  • Maintain your session and keep you logged in
  • Process your food orders securely
  • Remember items added to your cart
  • Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
  • Load balance traffic across servers

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often and whether they receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They help us understand how our website is performing, identify areas for improvement, and make informed decisions about our online presence.

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics collects data such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data is processed by Google in accordance with their privacy policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or saved menu preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized; they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Functional cookies help us:

  • Remember your location for delivery estimates
  • Save your preferred menu settings
  • Remember your accessibility preferences
  • Enable embedded media and interactive features

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and display relevant ads to users who have previously visited pizzalucefood.click. We may also use Facebook Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our social media advertising campaigns.

7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) give you specific rights regarding your personal information, including data collected through cookies. Under these laws, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information is being collected about you through cookies and tracking technologies
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information (including cookie data used for cross-context behavioral advertising)
  • Delete personal information we have collected from you
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Limit use of sensitive personal information
  • Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

Please note that the sharing of cookie data with advertising partners may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under California law. You may opt out of this by using the tools described in Section 5 above or by contacting us directly at the information provided in Section 9.

8. Do Not Track (DNT) 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. At this time, our website does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals from browsers. However, you can still use the opt-out tools described in Section 5 to limit tracking.
