Last Updated: March 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Punch Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzpunch.click (the "Website"), and the choices you have regarding cookie usage. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access or use our Website in connection with our food services, online ordering, and related digital experiences.

Our use of cookies complies with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices, and other relevant digital privacy guidelines.

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 efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Punch Pizza) 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit our Website for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie locally on your device. Each time you make a subsequent request to the server, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing us to identify your device and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies may store a variety of information, including:

  • Session identifiers to keep you logged in
  • Your language and region preferences
  • Items in your online food order or shopping cart
  • Pages you have visited and features you have used
  • Your device type, browser type, and operating system
  • Your approximate geographic location
  • Traffic source and marketing campaign data

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 are erased when you close your browser. They are used to remember you as you navigate from page to page within our Website during a single visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time after your browser session ends. They are activated each time you visit the website that placed the cookie on your device. They help us remember your preferences for future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on pizzpunch.click. Below is a detailed explanation of each category:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the basic functioning of our Website. They enable core features such as security, network management, account authentication, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have explicitly requested, such as placing a food order or accessing your account, cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. You may set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Website will then not work properly.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often, how long they spend on each page, and whether they encounter any error messages. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It helps us understand and improve how our Website performs.

We use Google Analytics to collect this type of data. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze traffic patterns, user behavior, and overall website performance. The data collected includes information such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language, or items previously added to your online order cart) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies are used to deliver services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on content.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. 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 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. They remember that you have visited our Website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and may use advertising tools from other platforms such as Meta (Facebook) to serve relevant ads to you based on your browsing habits and interactions with our Website.
