2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

When you visit punchpizza-food.rest, our web server may send a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. On your next visit, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or previous interactions.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, when combined with other data we hold about you, they may allow us to identify you as an individual. Personal information collected via cookies is handled in accordance with applicable United States data protection laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices.
