We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and ensuring that your experience on our website is safe, personalized, and efficient.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. Together, these documents form our commitment to protecting your privacy in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as guidance from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function, work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. The server can then read the cookie information when you return to the same website. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They are simply small pieces of data used to remember information about your visit.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pizzmod.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie in a designated folder on your device. When you revisit our website or navigate between pages, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or activities from previous sessions.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that are integrated into the website (known as "third-party cookies"), such as analytics providers or advertising networks.

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): Small, invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that are used to track user behavior and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
• Scripts: Pieces of JavaScript code that enable various website features and can also collect information about your browsing behavior.

For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use cookies for a variety of purposes. Below, we explain the different categories of cookies that may be placed on your device when you visit pizzmod.rest.

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate effectively, and you would not be able to use the services we offer online, such as placing an order or accessing your account.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can disable them through your browser settings, though this may prevent you from using important parts of our website.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often, how long users stay on each page, and whether users encounter any error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — it does not identify you personally.

We use this data to improve how our website works, understand user behavior, and measure the effectiveness of our content. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, which uses cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _gat to collect and analyze this information.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can remember your preferred language, your location for restaurant suggestions, items you have placed in your shopping cart, or your login credentials so you do not need to enter them every time you visit.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party service providers whose services we have added to our website. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks, such as Google Ads, with the website operator's permission.

These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. These cookies may be set by our advertising partners through our website, and they may collect information about your browsing habits across multiple websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites you visit.
