Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 15, 2026  |  Effective Date: April 15, 2026

1. 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 sites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Luce) 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 — such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the server the cookie was sent from
  • The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device)
  • A value — usually a randomly generated unique number

Cookies are not harmful programs or viruses. They cannot execute code or deliver malware. They are simply small data files that help websites recognize and remember your preferences and behavior.

2. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit lucespizzas.click for the first time, our website sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it in a designated folder on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser reads the cookie and sends the information back to our server. This process allows our website to recognize you and remember your preferences, login status, and other settings.

Cookies operate in the following way:

  1. 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 the proper functioning of our website, such as keeping track of items in your online order during a single visit.
  2. Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and scripts to collect and store information about your visit to our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Pizza Luce uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential cookies are used for purposes such as:

  • Maintaining your session while you browse our website
  • Ensuring the security of your online transactions
  • Remembering items you have added to your cart or online order
  • Enabling form submissions such as contact or reservation forms
  • Ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and whether they encounter any error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Analytics cookies help us understand how our website is performing and how we can improve it.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze traffic and usage patterns on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. This information is processed to compile statistical reports on website activity.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can be used to remember your language preferences, your location (to show you the nearest Pizza Luce branch), or your name when you return to the website. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or using a live chat feature.

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

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked.
