1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to provide you with clear, transparent, and comprehensive information about how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at meal-modpizza.rest. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website.

Cookies are an essential part of how modern websites function. They help us deliver a better, more personalized experience to our users, allow us to understand how our website is being used, and help us improve our services. We use cookies in compliance with applicable United States federal and state privacy 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 unfair or deceptive practices.

Please read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, you can contact us at any time using the contact information provided at the end of this document.

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 their websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about the user's preferences or past actions.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit our website, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize your device and remember information about your preferences or past interactions with our site.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that are embedded on the page (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types are used on our website, as described in more detail below.

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 transparent image files that are used to track user behavior and gather data about how users interact with our website and emails.
  • Local Storage: A feature of your browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only stored for the duration of your browsing session and is deleted when you close your browser.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about how you interact with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on our website. These can be categorized based on their purpose and duration:

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

  • Ensure the security of your transactions and personal data

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us 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.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and other related statistics.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional 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 the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or other settings) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to track visitors across websites with the intention of displaying ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These cookies may be set through our site 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 sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

8. Your Privacy Rights Under US Law

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding cookies and personal data. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to:

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. While we do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, we respect your privacy and encourage you to use the opt-out tools described in this policy to manage your preferences.
