Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 27, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza, accessible at foodmodpizza.rest. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we place on your device, and how you can manage or control them.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

As a business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws governing online tracking technologies, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on online behavioral advertising, and other applicable state privacy laws.

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. These files are stored in your browser's designated folder and are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to any other website that recognizes that cookie.

Cookies serve many important functions on the modern web. They allow websites to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, understand how you use a site, and deliver content relevant to your interests. Without cookies, many of the features and services you expect from websites would not function correctly.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email was opened and record certain activity.
  • Local Storage: A browser-based mechanism that stores data locally on your device, functioning similarly to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary data stored in your browser that is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small snippets of code that collect information about how you interact with our website.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A method of identifying a device based on its configuration, including browser type, operating system, and other settings.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this Cookie Policy.

3. How Cookies Work

When you first visit foodmodpizza.rest, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie file on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server. This allows our website to recognize you, remember your preferences, and provide you with a personalized experience.

Cookies can be categorized in several ways:

  • First-Party Cookies: Cookies set directly by our website (foodmodpizza.rest) and accessible only by us.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by external services or partners (such as Google, Facebook, or advertising networks) that appear on our pages.
  • Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website. Without them, certain features of our website — such as shopping carts, account login, or security features — would not work. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services you have requested, they do not require your consent under most applicable laws. However, we still want you to be aware of them.

Essential cookies help us maintain the security of our website, prevent fraudulent use, and ensure compliance with legal obligations. They do not collect information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

4.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages from web pages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to improve how our website performs and to understand how visitors interact with our content.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address, which may be anonymized) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or font size) and to provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We may use Google Ads, Meta (Facebook) Pixel, and other advertising platforms that set cookies on your device to track conversions, retarget visitors, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

7. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies). You can exercise your cookie preferences through the following methods:

7.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Tools," or "Preferences" menu of your browser. Below are links to cookie management instructions for the most popular browsers:

Please note that if you use different devices to access our website (e.g., your computer, smartphone, and tablet), you will need to manage your cookie settings on each device separately.

7.2 Opt-Out Tools for Specific Services

In addition to browser-level cookie controls, you can opt out of specific third-party tracking services using the tools provided below:

7.3 Global Privacy Control (GPC)

We recognize and honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser or browser extension sends a GPC signal to our website, we will treat this as a valid opt-out request from the sale or sharing of your personal information, as required under the CCPA/CPRA for California residents and other applicable state laws. You can learn more about GPC at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

7.4 Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals your preference not to be tracked across websites. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We currently do not alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but we continue to monitor developments in this area and may update our practices as standards evolve.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or restrict cookies on our website, the following impacts may occur:

  • Essential Cookies Disabled: If you disable essential/strictly necessary cookies, core features of our website may not function correctly. You may be unable to complete online orders, maintain a shopping cart, log in to your account, or access certain secured areas of the website.
  • Analytics Cookies Disabled: If you disable analytics cookies, we will not be able to measure and improve the performance of our website. This does not generally impact your user experience, but it limits our ability to understand how visitors use our site and make improvements accordingly.
  • Functional Cookies Disabled: If you disable functional cookies, your personalized preferences (such as your preferred location or dietary preferences) will not be saved between visits. You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit our website.
  • Advertising Cookies Disabled: If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly, and advertisers will not be able to limit the number of times you see a particular ad.

We recommend reviewing your cookie settings carefully to balance your privacy preferences with your desired website experience. You can always return to this Cookie Policy to understand what each type of cookie does before making your decision.
