Last Updated: May 10, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document provides detailed information about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at food-modpizza.click. We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how it is used, in accordance with applicable United States laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing fair and transparent consumer practices.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional context about how we collect, process, and protect your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

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 sites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to provide reporting information.

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 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 device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device and stored in your web browser. The next time you visit our website from the same device, the browser checks to see if it has a cookie that is relevant to the site and sends the information contained in that cookie back to the site. The website then recognizes that you have visited before and may tailor the content it shows you accordingly.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. The duration of a cookie depends on its type — some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them (persistent cookies).

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 graphic images (often invisible) embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether you have viewed a page or opened an email.
  • Local Storage: A technology similar to cookies that stores data in your browser without an expiration date.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser tab is closed.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our website that collect information about how you interact with our content.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into the following types based on their purpose:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not then work. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable law, but we believe in full transparency and disclose their use here.

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.

If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance. These cookies require your consent, which you can manage through our cookie consent tool or your browser settings.

3.3 Functional 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. These cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be diminished.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting 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.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. Under the CCPA/CPRA, the use of certain advertising cookies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, and California residents have the right to opt out of such practices.
