1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Luce. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, your rights to control their use, and the impact that disabling certain cookies may have on your browsing experience.

This policy applies to all pages and services available through our website at pizzaluce.click. It should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, 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 owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to gather reporting and analytics information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the browser, where they are stored. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and login status.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. For more details on how we process personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be classified based on who places them on your device:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Pizza Luce when you visit our website. They are used to provide core functionality and improve your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by organizations other than Pizza Luce — for example, analytics providers like Google or advertising networks. These third parties may collect information about your online activities across different websites over time.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They help our website function during 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 used to remember your preferences and recognize you on return visits.
