Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Luce. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website (lucepizza-meal.click), what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and ensuring that you have control over your personal information.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide reporting information to site owners.

Cookies are created when your browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to your browser, which then creates a text file that is stored on your device. Every time you return to that website, your browser retrieves and sends the cookie file back to the website's server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies are not harmful to your device and do not contain viruses or malware. They cannot execute programs or deliver malicious software to your computer. However, they do store information about your browsing behavior, which is why understanding and managing cookies is an important part of protecting your online privacy.

2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies can be categorized based on their lifespan:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are stored in your browser's memory only while you are visiting a website. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser or end your session. Session cookies do not collect personal information from your device and do not remain on your device after your session ends.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies are activated each time you visit the website that created them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings between visits.

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by Pizza Luce (i.e., the website you are visiting). They are used to enhance your experience on our website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting — typically by our service providers, analytics partners, or advertising partners. Third-party cookies allow these parties to collect information about your browsing activity across multiple websites.

3. How We Use Cookies

At Pizza Luce, we use cookies for several important purposes that help us deliver a better experience for our customers and improve our online food ordering services. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Ensure that our website functions correctly and securely
  • Remember your login status and preferences between visits
  • Understand how visitors use our website, including which pages are most popular
  • Analyze traffic patterns and improve website performance
  • Deliver relevant advertising and promotional content
  • Enable social media features and integrations
  • Process food orders and remember items added to your cart
  • Comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on lucepizza-meal.click into four main types:

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain services you have requested — such as placing a food order, logging into your account, or using the shopping cart — cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be switched off in our systems.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the services you request, you cannot opt out of them without affecting the website's functionality. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or completing a food order.

4.2 Analytics / 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, how visitors move around the site, and where visitors are coming from. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. 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.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our 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. These cookies remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, region, or menu preferences — and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your website experience may be less personalized.

4.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and similar platforms. 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 directly store personal information but work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. You may still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests.

As a business operating in the United States, our cookie practices are governed by applicable U.S. law and regulations, including:

  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Some of our advertising cookies may constitute "sharing" of personal information under the CPRA. Please see Section 8 below for information on how to opt out.

7. Managing and Controlling Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies). There are several ways you can manage your cookie preferences:

Please note that if you use different devices to access our website (e.g., your computer, smartphone, and tablet), you will need to ensure that each browser on each device is adjusted to reflect your cookie preferences.

7.2 Opt-Out Tools for Specific Services

In addition to browser-level controls, you can use the following opt-out tools provided by our third-party service providers:

7.3 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to restrict or block cookies, it is important to understand that doing so may affect your experience on our website. Here is a breakdown of the potential impact:

Functional Cookies Your preferences (such as your saved delivery address or preferred menu options) will not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter information each time you visit the site.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your interests based on your browsing behavior. This will not affect your ability to use the website or place food orders.

9. Cookies and Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the use of cookies or any other means.
