1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizza Luce ("we," "our," or "us"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at cafe-pizzaluce.click and explains what cookies are, how we use them, your choices regarding cookies, and further information about cookies.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.
By accessing or using cafe-pizzaluce.click, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies as described herein, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our website.
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 owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Luce) 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.
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies," meaning they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are "persistent cookies," meaning they survive after your browser is closed and can be used by the website to recognize your device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie and sends it back to our server the next time you visit. This allows us to recognize your browser and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and items in your shopping cart.
Cookies do not typically contain personal information that directly identifies you by name. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This allows us to provide you with a personalized experience and to improve the relevance of our communications with you.
