The Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather aggregate usage data. Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your browser. The types of cookies we may use include:
- Essential cookies: Necessary for the basic functioning of the Site, such as remembering your navigation preferences within a session.

5. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party service providers to assist in operating the Site, including web hosting providers and analytics services. These providers may have access to technical data about Site usage as part of their service delivery. We require that these providers protect your information consistent with this Policy and applicable law.
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, including pizza restaurant websites and delivery platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites, and this Policy does not apply to your use of those sites.
