Summary: This Cookie Policy explains how Mod Pizza uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on modpizzafood.rest. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website modpizzafood.rest, the types of cookies we use, and how you can control your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, personalize content, and deliver relevant advertising. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

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 computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to deliver a better and more personalized user experience.

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 computer 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 for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. The next time you visit our site from the same device, the server checks if a cookie with the same name already exists. If it does, the server uses the data stored in the cookie to personalize your experience. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information by themselves, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.2 Other Tracking Technologies

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

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our website and in our emails to determine whether messages have been opened and links have been clicked.
Local Storage: Technologies like HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage that allow websites to store data on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
Session Storage: Data stored temporarily during a single browser session that is deleted when the browser is closed.
Fingerprinting: A method of collecting information about your device's settings and characteristics to identify and track you across different websites.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website cannot function properly without them.

Essential cookies allow you to navigate our website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are most frequently visited and whether visitors receive error messages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use analytics cookies to understand how our website is being used and to improve its performance. The information gathered helps us understand how visitors interact with our site, which pages are popular, and how users navigate through the site. This information is used to compile reports and help us improve the website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference, region, or login information) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

These cookies allow us to remember your preferences and settings so that you don't have to reconfigure them every time you visit. For example, functional cookies remember your preferred language or the items in your shopping cart. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They also limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Advertising cookies track your browsing habits and activity across websites to help advertisers deliver more targeted and relevant ads. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. They may also be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites.
