Last Updated: July 24, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizza Luce. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your online experience. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website (newpizzaluce.top), and what choices you have regarding their use.
This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we handle your personal information. If you have any questions about our use of cookies or other tracking technologies, please contact us at [email protected].
As a food service business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state privacy 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 and other relevant consumer protection regulations.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you visit and are then stored on your device's browser. Each time you revisit the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visits.
Cookies can be classified in several ways:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate through our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you on future visits.
- First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by our website (newpizzaluce.top).
- Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than ours, typically by our advertising or analytics partners.
3. How Cookies Work
When you first visit newpizzaluce.top, our website may send a cookie to your browser. On subsequent visits, our server reads the cookie your browser has stored and identifies you or your preferences. This process allows us to deliver a more personalized and efficient online experience.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
- Local Storage: A web storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally within your browser.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our website pages that collect information about your interactions.
- Device Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's configuration to create a unique identifier.
All references to "cookies" in this policy also encompass these similar tracking technologies unless stated otherwise.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, our website cannot function properly, and services such as online ordering, account login, and security features would be unavailable. These cookies do not collect any personal information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you may be able to disable them through your browser settings, though this will significantly impair website functionality.
Examples of what essential cookies do include:
- Maintaining your session while you navigate between pages
- Storing items in your online food order cart
- Remembering your login status
- Ensuring the security of your interactions on our platform
- Enabling load balancing to ensure website performance
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors receive error messages. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve our website's performance, content, and structure.
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our audience engages with our website. Google Analytics collects information about your use of our website and reports it back to us in aggregated, anonymized form.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your preferred language, region, or font size, in order to provide enhanced and personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or using a live chat feature. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Examples include:
- Remembering your location for delivery purposes
- Saving your favorite menu items or past orders
- Storing your communication preferences
- Enabling embedded maps and restaurant locator features
4.4 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 measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing features to show relevant Pizza Luce advertisements to users who have previously visited our website. These cookies track which pages of our website you visit and which actions you take (such as placing an order) to measure the return on our advertising investment.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies
The impact of disabling cookies depends on which categories of cookies you choose to disable:

- Disabling Functional Cookies: If you disable functional cookies, certain personalization features may not work correctly. For example, your delivery address preferences, saved favorite orders, and regional settings may not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter this information each time you visit.
- Disabling Advertising Cookies: If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements from Pizza Luce and our partners, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not prevent advertising — it only affects the targeting of those advertisements.

9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for interpreting DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, we do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as described in Section 6.2 above.
We encourage you to use the opt-out tools listed in this policy and to manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie preference center if available.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party websites you visit.
