Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
At Pizza73, we believe in complete transparency about how we collect and use information when you visit pizza73.one. This policy explains how tracking technologies work on our website and gives you control over your browsing experience. Think of this as your guide to understanding the digital footprint you leave when exploring our sous-vide cooking resources.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device. They're like digital sticky notes that help our site remember things about your visit. When you come back, these notes help us recognize your preferences and provide a better experience.
Most websites use them. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser, while others stick around for future visits. We use both types, and each serves a specific purpose in making your time on our site more useful.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These are non-negotiable. They keep our website functional and secure. Without them, basic features simply wouldn't work. They handle things like maintaining your session as you navigate between pages.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices. Language preferences, layout settings, whether you've dismissed certain notifications. They make your experience more personalized without tracking your behavior across the web.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our sous-vide cooking content. Which resources get the most attention? Where do visitors spend their time? This helps us improve what we offer.
Performance Cookies
These track technical aspects like page load times and any errors you encounter. They help us identify and fix problems quickly so everyone gets a smooth browsing experience.
How We Actually Use This Information
Improving Your Learning Experience
When we see that certain sous-vide techniques get more engagement, we know to create more content in that area. If people consistently leave a particular page quickly, that tells us something needs improvement.
We track which educational resources are most helpful so we can develop similar materials. It's all about making our content more relevant to what you actually want to learn.
Technical Optimization
Analytics help us spot technical issues before they become widespread problems. Slow loading times, broken links, compatibility issues with certain browsers—we catch these faster when we monitor site performance.
We also use this data to decide where to focus our development efforts. Should we build a mobile app? Improve our recipe calculator? Usage patterns give us those answers.
- Remembering your progress through our learning materials
- Saving your preferred temperature units and measurement systems
- Understanding which cooking techniques interest you most
- Identifying technical problems that need fixing
- Measuring how effective our educational content really is
- Preventing duplicate form submissions or repeated notifications
Your Control Options
Managing Through Your Browser
Every modern browser gives you control over cookies. You can block them entirely, delete existing ones, or set rules about which sites can use them. Just be aware that blocking all cookies might break some website functionality.
Here's where to find these settings in popular browsers:
Chrome:
- Click the three dots in the top-right corner
- Go to Settings, then Privacy and Security
- Select Cookies and Other Site Data
- Choose your preferred level of cookie blocking
Firefox:
- Click the menu button and select Settings
- Navigate to Privacy and Security
- Under Cookies and Site Data, adjust your preferences
- You can even view and remove specific cookies here
Safari:
- Open Safari Preferences from the Safari menu
- Click on the Privacy tab
- Adjust settings for blocking cookies and website tracking
- Safari blocks many third-party cookies by default
Third-Party Services
Sometimes we use external services that set their own cookies. For example, if we embed a video from an external platform or use analytics tools, those services might track information according to their own policies.
We're selective about which third-party tools we integrate. We only work with services that respect privacy and provide clear policies about data usage. Still, you should know that when you interact with embedded content, you might be subject to those external privacy policies.
A Note About Data Retention
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser. Others might last weeks or months. We regularly review and clean up stored data that's no longer needed. Analytics data gets anonymized after a certain period, and we don't keep identifiable information longer than necessary for the purposes outlined here.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Laws evolve. Sometimes we add new features that require different tracking methods. When we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we'll update this policy and adjust the date at the top.
For major changes, we might notify you directly through the website. But it's worth checking back here occasionally, especially if you have concerns about privacy. We don't change things randomly—there's always a good reason when we update our practices.
