Last Updated: April 17, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Mod Pizza's Cookie Policy. At Mod Pizza, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your visit to our website, modpizzza.rest. This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about all cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and should be read in conjunction with it. Together, these documents explain our overall approach to data privacy and your rights as a user located in the United States.
We operate in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including 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.
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. These files are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to improve the overall user experience.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, which allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Mod Pizza) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third parties to be available through our website (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
Cookies can also be categorized by how long they last:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are used to support your experience during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They help websites remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit modpizzza.rest, our web server sends a cookie file to your device. Your browser stores this file and sends it back each time you make a request to our server. This allows us to recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly.
In addition to cookies, we and our partners may use other similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track user activity and gather statistics.
- Local Storage: A way of storing data locally on your browser, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that track interactions on our website and report them to analytics or advertising platforms.
- Device Fingerprinting: A technique used to identify a device based on its unique combination of settings and attributes.
For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies will collectively be referred to as "cookies."
4. Types of Cookies We Use
Mod Pizza uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed description of each type:
4.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are required for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as navigating between pages, adding items to your online order, or logging into your account — cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any personal information about you that could be used for marketing or tracking your internet activity.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function, they cannot be switched off in our systems. You can configure your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may not function as a result.
4.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, see which pages are most popular, and understand how users navigate through the site. This information helps us improve the performance and design of our website.
We primarily use Google Analytics to collect this data. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
4.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, your location, your saved items, and other customizations — and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies (also called marketing or targeting cookies) are used to track visitors across websites. They are set by us and our advertising partners to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to the individual user. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. Frequently, targeting cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by these organizations.
We use Google Ads cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to retarget visitors with relevant advertisements.
