Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 21, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza ("we," "our," or "us"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizz-mod.rest, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control and manage cookie preferences on your device.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and process data, including data gathered through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Our use of cookies is governed by applicable United States federal and state laws, including but not limited to the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable consumer protection regulations. If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal data, including data collected through cookies, which are described in further detail below.

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 by website operators in order to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and to provide reporting information to the site owners.

Cookies set by the website operator (in this case, Mod Pizza) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website — such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer or device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, 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 the server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits. Cookies may contain information such as:

  • A unique identifier for your browser or device
  • Your preferences and settings on our website
  • Your browsing activity on our pages
  • Information about how you arrived at our website
  • Technical information about your browser and operating system

Cookies cannot access other files on your device, execute programs, or deliver viruses. They are simply data files that help websites recognize returning visitors and improve user experiences.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A technology that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that holds data for the duration of a browser session and is cleared when you close the browser.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small snippets of code that track user behavior and collect analytics data.

All references to "cookies" in this policy also apply to these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed description of each category and its purpose.

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided, and the website may not function properly. Because these cookies are essential, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools.

Essential cookies may be used to:

  • Remember items you have added to your cart or order
  • Authenticate you when you log in to your account
  • Maintain your session while you are browsing
  • Ensure the security of your transactions
  • Remember your cookie consent preferences

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze how users interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit our website, what pages they visit, and what other websites they visited prior to coming to our site. We use this information to improve our website and services.

3.3 Functional / Preference Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Functional cookies may be used to:

  • Remember your language and regional preferences
  • Remember your login details (if you choose "remember me")
  • Personalize your experience based on previous visits
  • Provide live chat functionality
  • Remember accessibility settings

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and show relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our website. This practice is known as "remarketing" or "retargeting."

Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information, which may include data collected through advertising cookies. Please see Section 7 for information on how to exercise this right.
