Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. About This Policy

Punch Pizza ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website punchpizza-fresh.rest. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage or disable them according to your preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

This Cookie Policy is governed by and complies with applicable United States 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 governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

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 function more efficiently, to provide better user experiences, and to gather analytical information about how visitors interact with a website.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about that user's preferences or past actions.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit punchpizza-fresh.rest for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a designated folder on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser retrieves the stored cookie and sends it back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and recall your preferences.

Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them (persistent cookies). We also use third-party cookies, which are set by external services we use, such as Google Analytics and advertising platforms.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into the following four main types:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access, and basic functionality. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website may not work as intended, and services you have requested cannot be provided.

Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law because they are technically necessary for the delivery of the service you have requested. However, you may still disable them through your browser settings, though doing so may significantly impair your experience on our site.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, and measure the performance of our website. The data collected helps us improve the way our website works and ensures that users can find what they are looking for easily.

We primarily use Google Analytics to collect this type of information. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or previously entered information) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies and may use cookies from other advertising platforms to serve targeted advertisements to users who have previously visited our website.

The primary third-party services we use that may set cookies include:

6. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies). You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser. The method for doing this varies by browser. Please refer to the help documentation for your specific browser:

Please note that if you choose to block cookies through your browser settings, some parts of our website may not function as expected, and certain features or services may be unavailable to you.

6.2 Opt-Out Tools Provided by Third Parties

You can also opt out of specific third-party cookies using the tools provided by those services:

6.3 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites you visit indicating that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not alter its practices in response to DNT signals. However, we respect your privacy choices and encourage you to use the opt-out tools described above.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable cookies at any time, doing so may have a significant impact on your experience when using our website. Below is a summary of the potential impacts depending on which cookies you disable:

Cookie Type Impact if Disabled
Essential Cookies Our website may not function properly. You may be unable to navigate between pages, submit forms, access secure areas, or complete online orders. Core website functionality may be significantly impaired.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect data about how you and other users interact with our website. This means we may not be able to identify and fix performance issues, and the website may become less optimized over time. Your browsing experience will otherwise remain unaffected.
Functional Cookies Your preferences and settings may not be saved between visits. You may need to re-enter information, re-select preferences, or lose items in your online order cart. The website will still be accessible but may feel less personalized.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads more frequently, and we will be unable to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Your browsing experience on our website will otherwise remain unchanged.
