Welcome to the Cookie Policy of Mod Pizza. This document is designed to give you clear, transparent, and comprehensive information about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at piz-mod.click. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that you understand how your data is collected and used during your online interactions with us.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us using the details 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. These files are stored in your browser's designated folder and are used to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and improve your overall browsing experience.
Cookies were originally designed to help websites remember stateful information (such as items added to a shopping cart) or to record your browsing activity. Over time, cookies have evolved to serve a wide range of purposes, including analytics, advertising, personalization, and security.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you first visit our website, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a designated folder on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall relevant information about your previous interactions with our website.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that run content on our website (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types of cookies may collect information about your browsing behavior and preferences.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether content has been accessed or viewed.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when your browser session ends.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device settings, browser configuration, and other attributes to create a unique identifier.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use into four main types based on their purpose and function:
3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are fundamental to the core functionality of our website.
Without these cookies, certain services you have asked for, such as secure login areas or online ordering features, cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, they do not require your consent under applicable law.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with our website so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors navigate through the site. All information collected by these cookies 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.
We primarily use Google Analytics to collect and analyze this data, which helps us make informed decisions about how to improve our website and the experience we offer to our customers.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable our 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 remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or the region you are in, and provide enhanced, more personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads and Facebook with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
