What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit pizzapizzase.com. These files help us remember your preferences, analyze site usage, and provide personalized experiences. Beyond traditional cookies, we also use similar tracking technologies including web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage mechanisms.
Think of cookies as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember who you are and what you've done during previous visits. Some cookies are essential for basic website functionality, while others help us understand how visitors interact with our gourmet cooking content and educational resources.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
Required for basic website functionality including user authentication, shopping cart management, and security features. These cannot be disabled without breaking core site features.
Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences like language settings, video playback quality, and personalized content recommendations based on your cooking interests.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand which cooking techniques and pizza-making tutorials are most popular, how long visitors spend on different pages, and which educational content needs improvement.
Marketing Cookies
Track your browsing patterns to show relevant cooking course advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our educational program promotions across different platforms.
Essential Cookies Cannot Be Disabled
Certain cookies are absolutely necessary for pizzapizzase.com to function properly. These include cookies that manage user sessions, prevent security threats, and enable basic navigation features.
Essential cookies we use include: session management tokens, CSRF protection tokens, load balancer cookies, and accessibility preference cookies. These remain active regardless of your cookie preferences.
How Tracking Enhances Your Experience
When you allow our tracking technologies, we can provide more personalized and relevant experiences. For example, if you frequently view pizza dough recipes, we'll prioritize showing you advanced bread-making workshops in our learning recommendations.
Analytics data helps us identify which cooking techniques need better explanations, which video tutorials should be updated, and what new culinary topics our community wants to learn about. This directly improves the quality of educational content we provide.
Marketing cookies allow us to show you relevant advertisements for cooking courses and culinary events that match your interests, rather than generic ads that might not be useful to your culinary journey.
