Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Punch Pizza. This Cookie Policy explains how Punch Pizza ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at fresh-punchpizza.click. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.

We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we handle your personal data.

For any questions about this policy, please contact us at [email protected].

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 more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to deliver a better, more personalized browsing experience.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit fresh-punchpizza.click, our server places one or more cookies on your device. Each time you make a subsequent request to our server, your browser sends these cookies back to us. This allows us to recognize your device, maintain your session, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you use our website.

Cookies may be either "persistent" cookies or "session" cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They allow us to link your actions during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after your browser is closed. They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you when you return to our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose and helps us deliver a better online experience for our customers.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as "strictly necessary" cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain core features of our website would not function properly. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Examples of what essential cookies help us do include:

  • Keeping you logged into your account as you navigate through the site
  • Remembering items in your online food order or cart
  • Ensuring secure connections and preventing fraudulent activity
  • Balancing load on our web servers to maintain site performance
  • Enabling you to complete online orders and payment transactions

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they are always active and cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you may disable them through your browser settings, but this will significantly impair your ability to use our website.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to track how you interact with our website — including which pages you visit, how long you stay, where you came from, and what actions you take. This data helps us continually improve our website content, navigation, and online ordering experience.

If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable the 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. These cookies remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, location, or accessibility settings) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

Examples include:

  • Remembering your delivery address or preferred Punch Pizza location
  • Saving your food preferences and past order history for quicker reordering
  • Storing your language and regional settings
  • Enabling embedded content such as maps or video features

If you choose to disable functional cookies, some or all of these personalized features may not function as expected.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also known as targeting or marketing 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.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to promote Punch Pizza's menu, offers, and services. These platforms use cookies to track conversions (e.g., when someone clicks our ad and later places an order), remarketing audiences, and ad performance metrics.

Under the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act and applicable U.S. privacy regulations including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), you have rights with regard to how your personal data is used for targeted advertising. More details are provided in our Privacy Policy.

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 fresh-punchpizza.click. Below is a summary of how disabling each category of cookies may affect your experience:

Cookie Type Impact if Disabled
Essential Cookies The website may not function properly. You may be unable to add items to your cart, log in to your account, or complete an online order. Core security features may also be impaired.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to track your visit or gather usage data. This means we lose valuable insights needed to improve our website and services. Your experience on the site will generally remain unaffected.
Functional Cookies Personalized features such as saved addresses, preferred locations, and order history will not be available. You may need to re-enter preferences each time you visit.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may also see the same ads more frequently as frequency capping will not work. Conversion tracking for our ad campaigns will be disabled.

8. Cookie Consent and Your Rights

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You may change your consent preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our site, or by contacting us directly.

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding cookies and the personal data they collect:

  • California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. Contact us at [email protected] to exercise these rights.
  • Other U.S. Residents: The FTC Act and various state consumer protection laws may provide additional rights regarding online tracking and data collection. We are committed to honoring applicable legal requirements across all U.S. jurisdictions.

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children through cookies or other tracking technologies. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information through our website, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.
