Last Updated: July 4, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Luce. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our website at newpizza-luce.rest. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control or manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect, process, and protect your personal information. By using our website, you agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to the website owners.

Cookies are created by a web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information on their own, but when combined with other data we collect, they may help us identify you as a user of our website. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device — they are simply small data files.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit newpizza-luce.rest, our server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back with subsequent requests to our server. This exchange of information allows us to:

  • Recognize your device on return visits
  • Keep you logged into your account (if applicable)
  • Remember your preferences, such as language or location settings
  • Understand how you interact with our website
  • Deliver relevant advertising based on your interests
  • Ensure the security and performance of our website

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can be classified by how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They enable our website to track your movement from page to page during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

2.3 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-Party Cookies: Set directly by our website (newpizza-luce.rest) and can only be read by us.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by a domain other than our website, typically by our service partners such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Pizza Luce uses the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, certain services and features you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any personal information that could be used for marketing purposes and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include cookies that:

  • Enable navigation between pages without losing previously entered information
  • Authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of accounts
  • Maintain security across the website
  • Remember items placed in your online ordering cart
  • Support load balancing to ensure the website performs properly

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can block them in your browser settings, though this may affect website functionality.

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will be unable to monitor its performance.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, which places cookies on your device to collect information about your usage of our website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred menu items, delivery location, or language preferences) and provide improved, more personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not directly store personal information, but they work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, though you will still see ads.
