Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 27, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and browsing behavior.

Cookies were originally designed to help websites function more efficiently and to provide useful information to website owners. Over time, however, cookies have evolved to serve a wide range of purposes, including analytics, advertising, and personalization.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, when combined with other data that a website collects about you, cookies can be used to identify you as an individual user. This is why we take your privacy seriously and want to be transparent about how we use cookies on our website.

How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pizza-mod.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie in a designated folder on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your previous interactions with our site.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties, such as analytics providers and advertisers, whose content appears on the page you are viewing (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types of cookies are used on our website, as explained in more detail below.

Cookies have an expiration date. "Session cookies" are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. "Persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you manually delete them.

2. Why We Use Cookies

Mod Pizza uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on pizza-mod.click for several important reasons:

  • To ensure our website functions properly and securely
  • To remember your preferences and personalize your experience
  • To analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve our content and services
  • To measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns
  • To provide relevant advertising based on your interests
  • To comply with applicable legal requirements under U.S. law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as "strictly necessary cookies") are required for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website may not work as intended. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of our site.

Essential cookies are used to:

  • Maintain your session while you browse our website
  • Remember items you have added to your cart or order
  • Enable secure login and authentication
  • Ensure the website loads correctly and efficiently
  • Prevent fraudulent activity and maintain security

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, where you came from before arriving at our site, and any errors you may encounter. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify you as an individual.

We use this information to improve the performance, usability, and content of our website. The primary analytics tool we use is Google Analytics, which sets cookies on your device to track your interactions with our site.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, functional cookies may remember your language preference, your location, or your previously selected menu customizations. These cookies are not strictly necessary for the website to work, but they significantly improve your experience.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising and marketing cookies (also called "targeting cookies") are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you. These cookies track your browsing habits and help us and our advertising partners understand your interests so that we can show you personalized ads on our website and across other websites you visit.

These cookies may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by third-party advertising networks, such as Google Ads and Facebook, with our permission.

5. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies on our website, including:

  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data does not expire automatically and is not sent to our servers with each request.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but only persists for the duration of your browser session. Data is automatically cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's hardware and software configuration to create a unique identifier. This may be used for fraud prevention and security purposes.
