Cookie Policy
This policy explains how cookies are used on marcospizza.website, what they do, and how you can control them. It applies to visitors of this site only.
Current version published on this page. Last reviewed November 2026.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information between visits, such as preferences or session state. Some are set by the site itself, and some are set by third-party services the site uses.
On a browsing site like this one, cookies mostly do small bookkeeping jobs: they keep a page from reloading the wrong view, they remember that you already dismissed a notice, and they help a contact form submit correctly. Cookies on their own do not identify you by name, and this site does not use them to build a personal advertising profile.
The wording below matches the cookies currently active on marcospizza.website. If the set of cookies changes, this page is updated to match.
Cookies used on this site
This site uses cookies for basic functionality and for measuring how pages are used. Functionality cookies support the contact form and remember simple preferences. Analytics cookies help the team understand which pages visitors find useful, in aggregate rather than individually.
Functionality
Keep the page working as expected
- Form support. A short-lived cookie keeps the contact form from losing what you typed if the page reloads mid-submit.
- Simple preferences. A cookie may remember that you dismissed a notice or already expanded a section so the page does not repeat itself on every visit.
- Session state. A cookie tracks an open browsing session so moving between pages behaves consistently.
Analytics
Understand which pages are read
- Page reads. A cookie counts which pages on the site get opened, without recording your name or contact details.
- Aggregate only. Analytics is reported in group totals — how many visitors reached a page, not who they were.
- No ad profiling. These cookies are not shared with advertising networks and do not build a personal ad profile.
What we do not do with cookies
No cookie on this site is used to sell your data, to target you with ads elsewhere, or to single out one visitor from another. If that ever changes, this policy changes first and the current version stays published here.
Why we use them
Cookies are used to keep the site working correctly, to understand which pages are read most, and to improve the content over time. No cookie on this site is used to build a personal advertising profile.
Third-party cookies
If the site embeds third-party tools, those providers may set their own cookies. Their use of cookies is governed by their own policies, not this one. The site does not control what those providers collect.
What a third party is
Any service that the site loads from a different provider — an embedded player, a hosted font, or a measurement script — counts as a third party.
Why they set cookies
They use cookies to remember that a resource was already fetched, to hold a short session for an embedded tool, or to return aggregate counts to the site owner.
How to limit them
Blocking third-party cookies in your browser will not stop the site from loading, but an embedded tool may behave differently or fail to load.
Where their rules live
Each provider publishes its own cookie notice and privacy policy. Read those directly if you want detail on what a specific tool collects.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse all cookies, refuse third-party cookies only, or clear cookies after each session. Blocking functional cookies may affect how the contact form works.
How do I refuse all cookies?
Every major browser has a setting that blocks all cookies. Look under the privacy or site-data section of your browser's settings, choose the option that refuses all cookies, and reload this page. The site will still open; the contact form may not carry what you typed across a page refresh.
Can I refuse only third-party cookies?
Yes. Most browsers separate first-party from third-party cookies, so you can keep the site's own cookies for the contact form while blocking the ones that come from other providers. Some embedded tools will not load in that setup.
What happens if I delete cookies after each visit?
Clearing cookies at the end of a session resets any saved preferences, so the site treats you like a first-time visitor on your next visit. It does not delete anything you sent through the contact form — that is delivered as an email, not stored in a cookie.
Does blocking cookies change what I can read on the site?
No. Every page of the site, including the pages about the pizza cookbook and the recipe chapters, stays readable with cookies blocked. Only interactive elements like the contact form may behave differently.
