We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.

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 owners to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and to collect analytical and behavioral information.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pizza-pequods.top, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it locally on your device. Each time you return to our website, or navigate to a page that uses the same cookie, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or they may be set by other websites and services that run content on the page you are viewing (known as "third-party cookies").

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your movements from page to page so you don't get asked for the same information you've already provided during the current visit.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device between browser sessions and allow us to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits. They have an expiration date set by the website owner.
