1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizza Luce ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at eat-lucepizza.click and all associated subdomains. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and how they impact your browsing experience.
This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control or opt out of their use. Please read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for a complete picture of how we handle your data.
As a food service business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act concerning consumer protection and fair business practices.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (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 efficiently, provide a better user experience, and deliver reporting information.
Cookies are created by the web server and stored in your browser. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your preferences or past actions.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit eat-lucepizza.click, our servers or third-party service providers may place cookies on your browser. Here is a simplified breakdown of how this process works:
- First Visit: Your browser sends a request to our server to load the page.
- Cookie Placement: Our server responds and may include a cookie file along with the requested page content.
- Cookie Storage: Your browser stores the cookie file on your device.
- Subsequent Visits: Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, which reads the cookie and can personalize your experience accordingly.
Cookies can store a wide range of information, including your language preferences, login status, items in your shopping cart, and how you interact with our website. They do not typically store personally identifiable information directly, but they may be linked to personal data that we hold about you.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies that function similarly, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether content has been loaded or accessed.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when you close your browser session.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.
