Like most modern websites, pizzalucemenu.rest uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, serve relevant content, and understand how visitors interact with our website. This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

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 across the internet and serve a number of important functions, such as making websites work more efficiently, improving user experience, and providing analytical information to website owners.

When you visit pizzalucemenu.rest, our servers may send a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends that cookie back to our servers, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit.

Cookies are not harmful to your device and do not contain viruses or malware. They cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are simply small data files that help websites function more effectively.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you access pizzalucemenu.rest, here is what typically happens:

Your browser requests a web page from our server.
Our server responds with the requested page along with one or more cookies.
Your browser stores the cookies on your device (unless you have disabled cookies).
On your next visit, your browser automatically sends the relevant cookies back to our server.
Our server reads the cookies and uses the information to personalize your experience or collect analytics data.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Origin

Cookies can be categorized based on who places them on your device:

First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Pizza Luce (the website you are visiting). They are generally used to improve the functionality and usability of our website.
Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by external organizations, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. These third parties may use the cookies to track your activity across multiple websites, not just ours.

2.3 Types of Cookies by Duration

Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your web browser. They are used to manage your session on our website, for example, keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences and settings on return visits.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on pizzalucemenu.rest. Each category serves a distinct purpose and has different implications for your privacy.

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, core features of our website — such as navigation, security, and access to certain areas — would not work correctly. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your ability to use our website.

These cookies help us:

Ensure the security of your browsing session
Maintain your session as you browse between pages
Remember items you have added to a cart or order form

Store your cookie consent preferences

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on a page, and whether users encounter any errors. This data helps us understand visitor behavior and improve the overall performance and content of our website.

All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make when you visit, such as your preferred language, region, font size, or other display preferences. These cookies improve your user experience by enabling us to provide a more personalized service.

The information collected by functional cookies may include your username (if applicable), region, and any custom settings you have applied. These cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

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 us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Advertising cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

These cookies track your browsing habits across websites and build a profile of your interests. This profile is then used to show you targeted ads on our website and on third-party websites. We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) for this purpose.

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 pizzalucemenu.rest. The following table outlines the potential effects of disabling each category of cookie:

Cookie Category	Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies	The website may not function correctly or at all. You may be unable to complete orders, navigate between pages, or access secure areas of the website. Core functionality will be severely impaired.
Functional Cookies	Your preferences and settings (such as your preferred location, language, or display options) will not be remembered between visits. You will need to re-enter this information each time you visit.
Analytics Cookies	We will be unable to collect data about how you use our website. This means we may be less able to improve and optimize our site. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected.

Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT signals. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 6 to control tracking on our website.
