Welcome to Punch Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We are committed to transparency about the data we collect and how it is used to improve your experience when ordering food online through our platform at punch-delivery.click.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
When you visit punch-delivery.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences.
Cookies generally do not contain personally identifiable information by themselves. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies help us deliver a smoother, faster, and more personalized food ordering experience for our customers.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you first visit our website, a banner or notice may appear informing you about our use of cookies. Depending on your jurisdiction and local regulations, you may be asked to consent to non-essential cookies. Here is a simplified explanation of the cookie process:
- You visit punch-delivery.click for the first time.
- Our server sends a small text file (cookie) to your browser.
- Your browser stores the cookie on your device's hard drive.
- On subsequent visits, your browser sends the cookie back to our server.
- Our server reads the cookie and uses the data to personalize your experience.
Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.
2.2 Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphics embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page or email has been viewed.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store larger amounts of data locally on your device.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when the browsing session ends.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that uses various browser and device characteristics to identify users across sessions without relying solely on cookies.
Throughout this policy, references to "cookies" include all of these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.
3. Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies help us provide a more personalized food ordering experience. For example, they may remember your favorite pizza toppings, your delivery address preferences, or your previously placed orders.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are 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.
