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 websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Factory) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit pizzafactory-eat.click, a cookie file is downloaded to your device and stored in your web browser. The next time you visit our site, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember relevant information about your previous visit.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the server the cookie was sent from
  • The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device)
  • A value — usually a randomly generated unique number

2.2 Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user activity and measure campaign effectiveness.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store larger amounts of data on your device than cookies allow.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that enable analytics and advertising platforms to gather data about your browsing behavior.
