Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 4, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Factory's Cookie Policy. This document applies to the website pizzafactory-meal.click and all associated subdomains and digital properties operated by Pizza Factory (hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," or "our").

When you visit our website to browse our menu, place an order, or simply learn more about our food and services, we may place small data files called "cookies" on your device. These technologies help us deliver a better, faster, and more personalized online experience — whether you're ordering a classic Margherita or customizing your own specialty pizza.

This Cookie Policy is designed to be transparent and easy to understand. It explains what cookies are, which types we use, what specific cookies are deployed on our site, and most importantly, how you can manage or opt out of cookies at any time.

By continuing to use our website pizzafactory-meal.click, you acknowledge and consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree, you may adjust your browser settings or use the opt-out tools listed in this document.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites across the internet to make sites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their sites are being used.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but information that we collect through cookies may be linked to other information we hold about you. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as items in your shopping cart, your preferred language, or login status.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pizzafactory-meal.click for the first time, our web server sends a small cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file locally on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall information from your previous visit.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them). Both types serve different purposes, as described in the sections below.

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand how users interact with our content.
  • Local Storage: A web browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you end your browser session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your browsing behavior and interactions with our website.

For simplicity, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Pizza Factory uses four main categories of cookies on pizzafactory-meal.click. Understanding these categories will help you make informed choices about which cookies you are comfortable allowing.

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

Can these be disabled? These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off without severely impacting your experience.

Essential cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to operate correctly. They are set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as adding items to your cart or completing a food order — cannot be provided.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the service you requested. They are never used for marketing or advertising purposes.

3.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

Can these be disabled? Yes, but disabling them may affect your website experience and require you to re-enter preferences each visit.

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your name when you return to our site, your preferred delivery address, your language preferences, or the last pizza you customized. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

3.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Can these be disabled? Yes. Opting out will not affect your use of the website, but it will prevent us from improving our services based on usage data.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They tell us which pages are most popular, where visitors come from, how long they spend on different sections of our site, and whether they encounter any errors. This data helps Pizza Factory continuously improve the online ordering experience for all our customers.

We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics platform. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited on our site.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

Can these be disabled? Yes. You will still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests.

Advertising cookies are used to track visitors across websites to display ads that are relevant and engaging for individual users. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are placed by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and potentially social media platforms such as Facebook/Meta.

The information collected through advertising cookies may be shared with third parties, including advertisers and advertising networks, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable cookies, it is important to understand that doing so may significantly affect your experience on pizzafactory-meal.click. The specific impacts depend on which type of cookies you choose to disable:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Critical website features will not work. You will be unable to add items to your cart, complete online orders, log into your account, or use the checkout process. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
Functional Cookies The website will still be accessible, but you may need to re-enter your preferences (such as delivery address and dietary filters) on every visit. Personalized features will not be available.
Analytics Cookies You can use the website normally. However, we will not be able to collect data to improve our services, identify technical problems, or understand which features are most useful to our customers.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be generic and not tailored to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly. Advertising partners will not be able to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not alter its behavior in response to DNT signals from your browser.

However, you can use the opt-out tools and browser settings described in this policy to limit tracking on our website.
