Last Updated: April 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about the cookies and similar tracking technologies that we use on our website mod-pizz.rest, including what they are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we process personal data and govern your use of our website. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

We operate in the United States and comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.

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, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and deliver personalized experiences.

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 first visit our website, a cookie file is downloaded onto your device. Every time you subsequently visit our website, your browser sends these cookies back to our server, which recognizes your device and can tailor the content and features you see based on your preferences and past interactions.

Cookies generally do not contain any information that personally identifies you — they typically contain a unique identifier (a randomly generated number), the name of the website that placed the cookie, and an expiration date. However, the information collected by cookies can be linked to personal information we hold about you, such as your name or email address, if you have provided this to us.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies to track and store information about your interactions with our website. These include:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether an email has been opened or a page has been visited.
  • Local Storage: Data stored locally within your browser that persists after you close your browser window.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but is cleared when your browsing session ends.
  • Pixels: Small code snippets placed on our website that track conversions and user behavior for advertising purposes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on our website. Each type serves a specific purpose and has different implications for your privacy. Below is a detailed breakdown of each category:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, services that are necessary for you to use the website — such as accessing secure areas — cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not function as a result.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to 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. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how our visitors engage with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website, which is then used to compile reports and help us improve the site.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These 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. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies may be used to remember your preferences, such as your chosen language, your location, or your preferred layout of the website, so we can tailor your experience accordingly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website 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 websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We use Google Ads and other advertising platforms to reach potential customers who may be interested in our food and services.

5.3 Opt-Out Tools for Specific Services

In addition to browser settings, you can use the following tools to opt out of specific third-party cookie uses:

Google Analytics Opt-Out

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting and using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) to prohibit sending information to Google Analytics.

You can control how Facebook uses data that websites share with it by adjusting your Facebook ad preferences. Visit Facebook's Ad Preferences to manage your settings. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from Facebook and other companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out

You can opt out of many third-party advertising cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page.

Your Online Choices

If you are located in the United States, you can also use the Digital Advertising Alliance's WebChoices tool to opt out of interest-based advertising across participating companies.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable cookies, it is important to understand that doing so may significantly impact your experience on our website. Below is a summary of the potential effects of disabling each type of cookie:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies The website may not function properly. You may not be able to complete online orders, log into your account, or use core website features. These cookies cannot be disabled without fundamentally impairing website functionality.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to track your visit or understand how you use our website. This means we may not be able to identify and fix performance issues or improve the user experience based on visitor behavior data. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected.
Functional Cookies Some personalized features may not work correctly. For example, your preferred location, dietary preferences, or saved items may not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter preferences each time you visit our site.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your interests. You may see less relevant ads as a result. Disabling these cookies does not mean you will see fewer ads — just less relevant ones.

7. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) regarding your personal information, including information collected through cookies. These rights include:

  • Right to Know: You have the right to request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you through cookies and other means, the categories of sources from which it was collected, the business purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom it has been shared.
  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: If we sell or share your personal information (including through advertising cookies), you have the right to opt out of such sale or sharing. To exercise this right, you may use our cookie preference tool or contact us directly.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.
  • Right to Correct: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in the Contact Information section below. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 5 of this policy to exercise control over your tracking preferences.

9. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy or cookie policies. We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policy of every website you visit.

10. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use, for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to periodically review this Cookie Policy to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
