Last Updated: July 1, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizza Factory ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at newpizza-factory.click and describes what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or manage your cookie preferences.
We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website.
By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described in this document.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance your browsing experience, and to provide website owners with information about how their sites are being used.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they can be linked to personal information that you voluntarily provide to us — for example, when you place an order or create an account on our website.
2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by Pizza Factory when you visit newpizza-factory.click. These cookies are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our website.
Third-party cookies are set by external services or providers that we use on our website — such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms like Facebook. These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your browsing behavior across multiple websites.
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to carry information across pages of our website during a single browsing session.
Persistent cookies 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.

4. Types of Cookies We Use
4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website would not work properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and online ordering. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver our services, they cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences tool without significantly affecting how the website functions.
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your location so we can show you the nearest Pizza Factory branch or save your order preferences for future visits. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, identify which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the site. This information helps us improve the way our website works and ensure we are providing our users with the best possible experience. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
4.4 Advertising / 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 such as Google Ads or Facebook with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and share this information with other organizations, such as advertisers.
