Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 2025
This policy explains how PizzaPizza uses tracking technologies on pizzapizzas.cc to improve your browsing experience and help us understand how people interact with our food plating and presentation resources. We believe in being upfront about what data we collect and why.
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. Think of them as digital sticky notes that help us remember things about your visit — like your language preference or whether you've already seen our plating tutorial welcome message.
Most websites use them. They're not programs and can't carry viruses. But they do collect information, which is why we're explaining exactly what we do with them.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site working properly. They handle things like security, load balancing, and remembering items in your learning cart. We can't really turn these off without breaking the site.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices — language settings, region preferences, or whether you prefer video tutorials over written guides. They make your experience more personalized.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand which plating techniques people find most helpful and where folks tend to get stuck in our tutorials. It's aggregated data, not personal tracking.
Marketing Cookies
These help us show relevant content about upcoming workshops or new plating courses. We also use them to avoid bombarding you with the same information repeatedly.
How We Actually Use This Data
Improving Course Content
When we see that people replay a certain video section multiple times, we know it might need clearer explanation. Or if everyone skips past a particular tutorial step, maybe we should rethink how we present it.
Technical Performance
We track loading times and error rates. If people in Quebec are experiencing slow image loads while viewing garnishing galleries, we need to know about it so we can fix the problem.
Personalizing Your Journey
If you've been browsing advanced plating techniques, we might suggest our modernist presentation workshop happening in September 2025 rather than the basics course.
Preventing Issues
Security cookies help us detect unusual patterns that might indicate someone's trying to compromise user accounts or scrape our educational content improperly.
What Gets Stored and For How Long
| Cookie Type | Duration | What It Remembers |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until you close browser | Your current browsing session, items you're viewing |
| Preference Cookies | 12 months | Language, region, video quality preferences |
| Analytics Cookies | 24 months | How you navigate the site, which content you engage with |
| Marketing Cookies | 6 months | Which programs you've shown interest in, ad interactions |
We regularly review stored data and delete anything that's no longer useful. There's no point keeping information from 2023 about which plating style was trending back then.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control here. Most browsers let you refuse cookies entirely or delete them after each session. Just know that some parts of our site won't work as smoothly if you block everything.
For example, without functional cookies, we can't remember that you prefer metric measurements in recipes, so you'll see imperial units every time.
Browser-Specific Instructions
Each browser handles cookies differently. Here's where to find the settings:
Chrome
Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox
Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari
Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge
Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
You can also use private or incognito browsing modes, which automatically clear cookies when you close the window. Just remember you'll need to log in again each time.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes we embed content from other platforms — like YouTube videos demonstrating knife techniques or Instagram posts showing plating inspiration. These services might set their own cookies.
We don't control those third-party cookies. If you want to know what YouTube or Instagram collect, you'll need to check their privacy policies. We try to minimize these where possible, but some educational content genuinely benefits from embedded media.
- Video hosting platforms for tutorial content
- Analytics providers that help us understand traffic patterns
- Payment processors for course enrollment (they handle sensitive data securely)
- Email service providers for sending workshop reminders
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Regulations 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 page and change the date at the top. For major updates, we might also send an email notification to enrolled students or post an announcement on our homepage.
We're not going to make substantial changes without good reason or proper notice. And we're definitely not selling your data to random third parties or doing anything sketchy with your information.
Quick reminder: This policy specifically covers pizzapizzas.cc. If you follow links to other websites (even if we recommend them), they have their own cookie policies that you should review.
