In the Cartesian coordinate system $xOy$, the parametric equation of curve $C_1$ is $\begin{cases} x=4t^2 \\ y=4t \end{cases}$ (where $t$ is the parameter). Taking the origin $O$ as the pole and the positive half-axis of $x$ as the polar axis, establishing a polar coordinate system with the same unit length, the polar equation of curve $C_2$ is $\rho \cos \left( \theta +\frac{\pi }{4} \right)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.

(1) Convert the equation of curve $C_1$ into a standard equation, and the equation of curve $C_2$ into a Cartesian coordinate equation;

(2) If curves $C_1$ and $C_2$ intersect at points $A$ and $B$, and the midpoint of $AB$ is $P$, draw a perpendicular line from point $P$ to curve $C_2$ intersecting curve $C_1$ at points $E$ and $F$, find $|PE| \cdot |PF|$.
