Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 3, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Factory. 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, what types of cookies we deploy on factory-pizza.click, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in accordance with applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, please contact us at:

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners and third-party service providers to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting and analytical information.

Cookies are not harmful to your device. They cannot execute programs or deliver viruses. Each cookie is unique to your web browser and contains anonymous information, such as a unique identifier, the website name, and some digits and numbers. This information allows a website to recognize your browser and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferred language, login status, or items placed in a shopping cart.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit factory-pizza.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it either temporarily in your device's memory (session cookies) or on your hard drive (persistent cookies). Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting — these are called "first-party cookies." They can also be set by third-party companies that provide services to the website owner, such as analytics tools or advertising networks — these are called "third-party cookies."

2.2 Other Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about how you interact with our website.

For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on factory-pizza.click. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website would not function properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the services you request, you cannot opt out of them. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, though some parts of the website may stop working.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our website:

  • Keep you logged in as you navigate between pages
  • Remember items in your online order cart
  • Ensure security of online transactions
  • Enable our website's contact and order forms to function

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Analytics cookies help us:

  • Understand how visitors find and navigate our website
  • Identify which pages, menu items, or promotions are most popular
  • Detect technical issues and improve site performance
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make when you visit our website, such as your preferred language, delivery location, or order preferences. This allows us to provide a more personalized experience and saves you from having to re-enter information on every visit. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for strictly necessary cookies). You can exercise your cookie preferences in several ways, as described below.

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. The methods for doing this vary from browser to browser, so please refer to your browser's help menu for specific instructions.

5.2 Opt-Out Tools for Specific Providers

In addition to browser-level controls, you can use the following opt-out tools provided by specific third parties whose cookies we use:

Google Analytics Opt-Out

To prevent Google Analytics from using your data, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript to prohibit sending information to Google Analytics.

Alternatively, you can manage how Google uses data when you use Google partner sites and apps by visiting: Google Privacy & Terms — Partner Sites

Google Ads Opt-Out

You can opt out of personalized Google Ads by visiting Google Ads Settings or by using the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool.

5.3 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 tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, we honor the opt-out methods described in this section.

If you access our website through a mobile device, you may be able to control tracking through your device's operating system settings:

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and user experience of our website. Below is a summary of the potential impact:

Essential Cookies Core website features will stop working. You may not be able to place orders, use the shopping cart, submit forms, or maintain a logged-in session. We strongly advise against disabling these.

Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You will not benefit from personalized promotions or deals from Pizza Factory that may have been tailored to your preferences.
