Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 28, 2026

Note: This Cookie Policy applies to the website factorypizza.rest operated by Pizza Factory. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Factory. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website factorypizza.rest, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and how they affect your browsing experience.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website. By accessing or using factorypizza.rest, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

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 function more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferred language, login status, or items in a shopping cart. Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Factory) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit factorypizza.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences.

Cookies can be session cookies, which are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Pizza Factory uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for several important purposes:

To ensure our website functions properly and securely
To remember your preferences and settings
To analyze how visitors interact with our website so we can improve it
To deliver relevant advertising and marketing messages
To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
To provide social media features and integrations
To prevent fraud and protect the security of our website

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize cookies into four main types based on their purpose:

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. Without them, certain features of the site — such as page navigation, access to secure areas, or online ordering — would not be possible. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

Because these cookies are essential for the website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie settings tool. However, you can set your browser to block them, though this may cause parts of the website to stop working.

4.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to measure the number of visits and traffic sources, identify which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to gather this data. Google Analytics uses its own set of cookies to track user interactions. The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your name, language preference, or your region so that we can tailor our content to better serve you. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.

The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 Advertising / 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 measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and help us understand which of our ads are performing well.
