Last Updated: April 26, 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 pizzasspunchs.click, and how you can control or disable them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food business serving customers across the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on consumer protection and online tracking disclosures.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how we handle your data, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (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 work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable personalized experiences.
Cookies are created and stored by your web browser. When you return to a website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or social media platforms (known as "third-party cookies").
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you first visit pizzasspunchs.click, our server sends a small file to your browser that is stored on your device. This file contains a unique identifier. Each time you visit our website thereafter, your browser retrieves this file and sends the information back to our server. This process allows us to:
- Recognize you as a returning visitor
- Remember your preferences (such as language or location)
- Keep track of items in your online order cart
- Analyze how you interact with our website
- Serve you relevant advertisements
- Improve your overall user experience
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
Cookies can be classified based on their duration:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are essential for certain website functionalities, such as keeping you logged in while you browse.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. Persistent cookies are used for purposes like remembering your preferences and delivering targeted advertising.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type and why we use them.
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies (also called "strictly necessary cookies") are fundamental to the proper operation of our website. Without these cookies, core features of our website would not function, and you would not be able to use services such as online ordering, account login, or secure payment processing.
These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or advertising purposes. Because they are strictly necessary for the website to function, they are placed on your device without requiring your consent; however, you can still disable them through your browser settings (though this may prevent certain features from working).
Examples of what essential cookies do on our site:
- Maintain your session as you navigate between pages
- Enable secure checkout and payment processes
- Remember items added to your online food order cart
- Store your cookie consent preferences
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the structure, content, and performance of our website — ultimately making it easier for you to find information, place orders, and enjoy a seamless experience.
We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC that tracks and reports website traffic. The data collected includes pages visited, time spent on the website, traffic sources, geographic location (country/region level), and device types.
The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States. Google may use this information to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity for us, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your preferred location, saved delivery addresses, or language settings, so you do not have to re-enter this information on each visit.
These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites. The information they collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies (also known as "targeting 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. These cookies track your browsing activity across different websites so that you are shown targeted advertisements.
We use Google Ads cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to re-engage visitors who have previously shown interest in our menu or services.
