Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 18, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to pizzasmod.digital, the official digital presence of Mod Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on our website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. Together, these documents govern your use of our website and explain how we handle your personal information.

As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable 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 consumer protection and fair business practices.

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. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to deliver information to the owners of the website.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. When you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, which allows the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not programs — they cannot execute code, deliver viruses, or carry malware.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit pizzasmod.digital, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a designated folder on your device. Each time you make a subsequent request to the server, your browser sends the cookie along with the request. The server reads the cookie and uses its data to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, or provide you with a personalized experience.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types are used on our website.

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand user behavior and email open rates.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when your browsing session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code embedded in our website that help us collect analytics and enable certain features.

All references to "cookies" in this policy also apply to these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on pizzasmod.digital. Each category serves a different purpose and has different implications for your privacy.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionalities such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, our website cannot function, and services you have requested (such as adding items to your cart or logging into your account) cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, we do not require your consent to place them on your device. However, you can still disable them through your browser settings, though doing so may significantly impair your ability to use our website.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter any error messages. The data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify you personally.

We use this information to improve the performance and usability of our website, to understand what content is most valuable to our visitors, and to identify areas where the user experience can be enhanced. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your language preferences, your location (to show nearby restaurant locations), or your previously selected menu customizations.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. These cookies improve your experience but are not strictly necessary for the website to function.

3.4 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 measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertising networks.

We use Google Ads cookies and may use other advertising platforms to reach customers who have previously visited our website (a practice known as "remarketing" or "retargeting"). These cookies track your browsing habits across multiple websites.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The following table provides detailed information about the specific cookies used on pizzasmod.digital, including their names, purposes, types, and durations.

Please note that this table may not be exhaustive. The cookies used on our website may change as we update our services and third-party integrations. We will update this table periodically to reflect any changes.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own first-party cookies, we allow certain trusted third parties to place cookies on your device when you visit pizzasmod.digital. These third parties include:

• Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook): For social media integration and advertising through the Facebook Pixel.
• Other advertising networks: We may work with additional advertising partners who may set cookies to help deliver relevant advertising.

These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of these companies, not by this Cookie Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties for more information about their cookie practices.

8. Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information and how it is collected through cookies. In particular:

8.1 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including:

• The right to know what personal information is being collected about you.
• The right to know whether your personal information is being sold or disclosed and to whom.
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
• The right to access and request deletion of your personal information.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the opt-out mechanisms described in Section 6 to control tracking on our website.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, changes in applicable law, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of our website after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
