2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable certain functionalities.
Cookies are created by your web browser and stored on your device. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visit. 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.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit punchs-pizz.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. Each time you make a subsequent request to our server, your browser sends the cookie back, allowing our server to identify your device and recall your preferences and actions.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by other organizations whose content appears on the page, such as advertising networks or analytics companies ("third-party cookies"). Third-party cookies allow those third parties to recognize your device across different websites.
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
Cookies can also be categorized based on how long they remain active:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to maintain continuity during a single browsing session, such as keeping you logged in or remembering items in your shopping cart.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a defined period (as specified in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several different types of cookies on our website, each serving a specific purpose. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. 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 site and will not be able to monitor its performance. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your language preferences, location, or other settings. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and Facebook. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They 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.
