1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document is intended to provide you with clear, transparent, and comprehensive information about how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at modpizzameal.rest. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your experience on our platform is both enjoyable and secure.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Together, these documents form the basis of our relationship with users of our website. If you have any questions about this policy or our data practices, please do not hesitate to contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

Mod Pizza operates this website to provide information about our food services, menu offerings, ordering options, and promotions. As part of delivering these services effectively, we rely on cookies to enhance functionality, analyze usage patterns, and deliver relevant advertising content. We are committed to complying with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection.

2. 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. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to give website operators information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are sent to your browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge). Your browser stores these files and sends them back to the server each time you make a request. This process allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Session cookies allow websites to link your actions during a single browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. Persistent cookies allow websites to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. These technologies function similarly to cookies and allow us to track user behavior and improve our services. For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. How Do Cookies Work on Our Website?

When you visit modpizzameal.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device. This process helps us provide a seamless and personalized experience.

Some cookies on our website are placed directly by us (first-party cookies), while others are placed by third-party service providers such as Google, Facebook, and other advertising and analytics platforms (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow these providers to collect information about your online activities across different websites over time, which may be used to deliver targeted advertisements.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each serves a distinct purpose, as described below:

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also called strictly necessary cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our website cannot function properly. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take on the site, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

Examples of functions supported by essential cookies include maintaining your session as you navigate through the website, enabling secure login processes, and remembering items in your online order cart.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data enables us to measure and improve the performance of our website. We use Google Analytics to collect this type of information. The data collected may include the number of visitors to the site, the pages they visit, the time spent on each page, and the source of traffic (e.g., search engines, social media, direct visits).

The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website is typically transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your location preferences, language settings, or the items you have previously viewed. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have incorporated into our pages. If you disable these cookies, some or all of these functionalities may not work properly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with the operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and optimize our advertising campaigns. These cookies help us understand which ads are driving traffic and orders to our website.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the freedom to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and performance of our website. Below is a summary of the potential impacts:

  • Essential Cookies Disabled: If you block essential cookies, you may be unable to access certain areas of our website, complete orders, or use secure features. The website may not function properly without these cookies.
  • Analytics Cookies Disabled: Disabling analytics cookies means we will not be able to collect data about your use of the website. This will not impact your ability to use the site, but it may affect our ability to improve our services based on user behavior.
  • Functional Cookies Disabled: Without functional cookies, the website will not be able to remember your preferences (such as your location or dietary preferences), meaning you may need to re-enter this information on each visit.
  • Advertising Cookies Disabled: If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Additionally, your interactions with ads will not be tracked, which means we cannot measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
