1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza's Cookie Policy. At Mod Pizza, we are committed to transparency about how we collect and use data related to your online experience. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on modpizzafood.digital, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. We operate in accordance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and other relevant consumer protection regulations.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and allow websites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you interact with web pages.

Cookies were originally designed to help websites remember stateful information (such as items added to a shopping cart) or to record the user's browsing activity. Over time, they have evolved to serve a wide range of purposes, from improving site performance to enabling personalized advertising experiences.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit modpizzafood.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party services that provide features on that website, such as analytics tools or advertising networks (known as third-party cookies).

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They help maintain your session while you navigate between pages.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a specified period of time (or until you manually delete them). They allow our website to remember your preferences and settings on your next visit.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four primary categories of cookies on modpizzafood.digital. Each category serves a distinct purpose, as described below.

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

Essential cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain parts of our site cannot function properly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled through our cookie preference settings, as they are strictly required for the site to work.

Examples of what essential cookies enable include:

  • Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
  • Ensuring secure login processes
  • Remembering items in your online order or cart
  • Loading the website securely via HTTPS
  • Storing your cookie consent preferences

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are visited most frequently, how long users stay on a page, where visitors come from, and what errors they may encounter. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the performance and content of our website.

We use Google Analytics to collect this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to compile statistical information about website traffic and usage patterns. The data collected is anonymized and aggregated; it does not identify you personally. For more details, please review Google's Privacy Policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and to provide enhanced, personalized features. These might include remembering your preferred language, your location for restaurant finder purposes, or your previous order preferences. While these cookies are not strictly necessary for the website to function, they significantly improve your user experience.

The information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to you. These cookies track your browsing habits across websites and allow us and our advertising partners to show you relevant ads on other sites you visit. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to deliver targeted content. These platforms place cookies on your device to track conversions and deliver personalized ads based on your interests and online behavior.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, the sharing of personal information with third-party advertisers for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal data. California residents have the right to opt out of such activities. Please see Section 6 for more information.

You have several options to manage your cookie preferences. Please note that restricting or disabling certain cookies may impact your experience on our website and limit access to some features.

6.1 Our Cookie Preference Center

When you first visit modpizzafood.digital, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept, reject, or customize your cookie preferences by category (essential, analytics, functional, advertising).

6.4 Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals your preference not to be tracked across websites. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, and our website does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT browser settings. However, we continue to monitor developments in this area and will update our practices accordingly.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on modpizzafood.digital in the following ways:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies The website may not function properly. You may be unable to complete online orders, log in to your account, or navigate the site securely. These cookies cannot be disabled without severely impairing site functionality.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to track your visit for performance improvement purposes. Your user experience will not be directly affected, but our ability to improve the site based on usage data will be limited.
Functional Cookies Your preferences (such as saved location, dietary filters, or preferred restaurant) will not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter this information each time you visit the site.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be generic and not tailored to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly, and we will be less able to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
