Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2026
At PizzaPizza, we believe you should know exactly what's happening when you visit plzzaplza.com. This policy breaks down how we track site usage, why we do it, and what control you have over it. We're not trying to be sneaky here – just transparent about the technical side of running a modern website.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Think of cookies as tiny notes your browser saves when you visit our site. They remember things like your preferences or whether you've been here before. Some stick around for years, others vanish when you close your browser.
We also use similar tech – pixels, tags, local storage. They all do basically the same job: help us understand how people use our site and make things work better for you.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Functions
These keep the site running properly. Without them, basic features like navigation and secure areas wouldn't work. You can't really turn these off if you want to use the site, but honestly, they're just doing housekeeping stuff like remembering your session.
Preference Tracking
These remember choices you make – language settings, region preferences, that sort of thing. Makes your experience smoother because you don't have to keep telling us the same stuff every visit.
Analytics and Performance
We use these to see which pages get traffic, where people spend time, and what needs improvement. It's all anonymous data that helps us figure out if our content actually makes sense to visitors or if we need to rethink things.
Marketing Purposes
These track your visit across different sites to show you relevant content about our programs. If you've looked at our pizza-making courses, you might see related content elsewhere online. You can opt out of these through your browser settings.
Why We Actually Need This Data
Look, we're not collecting data just for fun. Here's what we actually do with it:
- Figure out which training topics interest people most so we can create better content
- See where visitors struggle on the site and fix those pain points
- Remember your contact preferences so we don't bother you with stuff you don't want
- Track which provinces show the most interest in different cuisine programs
- Measure whether our recipe tutorials actually help people or need work
- Keep the site secure and prevent fraudulent activity
We don't sell your browsing data to third parties. Period. Any tracking we do stays within our organization or goes to analytics tools we use to improve the site experience.
How Long We Keep This Information
Different tracking methods stick around for different lengths of time. Here's the breakdown:
| Tracking Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Keep you logged in and navigate properly |
| Preference Cookies | 12 months | Remember your settings and choices |
| Analytics Cookies | 24 months | Understand long-term usage patterns |
| Marketing Cookies | 13 months | Show relevant content based on interests |
Taking Control of Your Privacy
You're not stuck with our tracking if you don't want it. Every major browser lets you manage or block cookies completely. Just know that turning everything off might make parts of the site not work right.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Most browsers also have a "Do Not Track" setting. We respect that signal – if it's turned on, we'll limit tracking to only what's necessary to keep the site functional.
Third-Party Tools We Use
We don't handle all tracking ourselves. Some external services help us understand site performance and visitor behavior. These companies have their own privacy policies, and they're required to handle data responsibly.
The main ones: analytics platforms that show us traffic patterns, email services that track whether our newsletters get opened, and security tools that protect against malicious activity. If you want to know specifically which services we use, send us a message and we'll give you the full list.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Privacy regulations evolve. We might add new tracking methods or remove old ones. When we make significant changes to how we handle cookies, we'll update the date at the top and let you know through the site.
Check back occasionally if you're curious about what's changed. We're not going to spam your inbox every time we tweak a technical detail, but major shifts in our approach will be clearly noted here.
Questions About Our Tracking?
If something in this policy doesn't make sense or you want more details about how we handle your data, just reach out. We're located at 1100 Boulevard Maloney O, Gatineau, QC J8T 6G3 (Les Promenades Gatineau – Food Court, Ground Level), or you can email info@plzzaplza.com or call (289) 836-8186.
We'd rather answer your questions directly than have you guessing about what's happening with your data.
