Last Updated: April 10, 2026  |  Effective Date: April 10, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to pizzaluces.top, the official website of Pizza Luce. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your visit to our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, and what choices you have regarding their use.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website and services. By continuing to use pizzaluces.top, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

We reserve the right to update this Cookie Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and allow the website (or third-party services) to recognize your device on future visits. Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites function efficiently, provide better user experiences, and give website operators useful information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the website that placed the cookie
  • A unique identifier (a randomly generated number)
  • The expiration date of the cookie
  • Any preferences or settings associated with your visit

Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses. They are entirely passive data files and cannot access information stored on your device beyond what the cookie itself contains.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pizzaluces.top, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it locally on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server. This process allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your preferences, and tailor our content and services accordingly.

Some cookies are placed directly by our website (first-party cookies), while others are placed by third-party services we have integrated into our site, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms (third-party cookies).

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are essential for many basic website functions.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (specified in the cookie itself) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

Pizza Luce uses four main categories of cookies on pizzaluces.top. Each category serves a distinct purpose and has different implications for your privacy.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, core features such as navigation, form submission, secure login, and the online ordering process would not function properly. Essential cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or advertising purposes, and they cannot be switched off in our systems.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about them, though doing so may prevent some parts of the website from functioning correctly.

3.2 Analytical / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how users interact with pizzaluces.top. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and whether users encounter any error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. These cookies help us improve the performance and usability of our website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. 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. Examples include remembering your language preference, your location (city or zip code) for showing nearby restaurant locations, or your saved menu favorites.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners. 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 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. We use these cookies in compliance with applicable U.S. advertising standards and the guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

5.1 Google Services

We use Google Analytics to analyze how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used before arriving at our website. We use this information to improve our website and services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our website, rather than your name or other personally identifying information.

We also use Google Ads to serve advertisements and measure the performance of our advertising campaigns. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

5.2 Facebook / Meta Pixel

We may use the Facebook Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising, build audience segments for future campaigns, and track conversions from Facebook ads. The Facebook Pixel collects data about your activity on our website and associates it with your Facebook account if you are logged in.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may have a significant impact on your experience when using pizzaluces.top. Below is a summary of what you may lose access to if you disable each category of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies Disabled: Core website functions will break. You may not be able to add items to your cart, place orders, submit forms, or navigate securely between pages. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
  • Analytics Cookies Disabled: We will not be able to collect data about how you use our website. This means we may be less effective at identifying and fixing usability issues. Your experience may not be directly impacted, but our ability to improve the site over time will be reduced.
  • Functional Cookies Disabled: Features such as saved preferences, remembered locations, and personalized menu settings will no longer work. You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit.
  • Advertising Cookies Disabled: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may also see the same ads more frequently, as we will not be able to limit how often they are shown to you.

8. Cookies and U.S. Privacy Law

Pizza Luce operates in the United States and complies with applicable U.S. privacy and data protection laws relevant to the use of cookies and tracking technologies. Our cookie practices are consistent with:

  • The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act: We do not use cookies in ways that are deceptive or unfair to consumers. Our cookie disclosures are clear, accurate, and presented in plain language.
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information, including data collected through advertising cookies. You may exercise this right by using our cookie preference center or contacting us directly at the information provided below.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, pizzaluces.top does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, we respect your right to opt out of tracking through our cookie consent tools and the third-party opt-out links provided in Section 6.3 above.
