Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 22, 2026

1. 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 web browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies were originally designed to help websites function more efficiently and provide a better user experience. Over time, their use has expanded to include analytics, personalization, and advertising purposes. When you visit pizzas-mod.digital, our web 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 the server, allowing us to recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies are widely used across the internet and are an integral part of how most modern websites operate. They are generally harmless and do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, although they can be linked to personal data that you have provided to us or that we have collected through other means.

2. Types of Technologies We Use

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use other similar technologies to collect information about your browsing behavior:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, invisible graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether you have visited a particular page or opened an email.
  • Local Storage: A web storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary storage that holds data only for the duration of your browser session and is deleted when you close your browser tab.
  • Scripts: Pieces of JavaScript code that collect information about how you interact with our website.

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

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on pizzas-mod.digital. Each category serves a different purpose, as described below:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas of the website, and the proper rendering of content. Without these cookies, our website cannot function, and services you have specifically requested — such as online ordering or account login — cannot be provided.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work, they are always active and cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tool. However, you may disable them through your browser settings, though doing so will significantly impair your ability to use our website.

3.2 Analytical and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. This data helps us understand how our website performs and how we can improve it to provide a better experience for our visitors.

All information collected by analytical cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — we cannot identify individual users from this data. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics tool, which uses several cookies to track user behavior on our website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your preferred language, your location, your login information, and any customizations you have made to your user interface. These cookies make your experience more personalized and convenient by saving your preferences so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our website. If you disable these cookies, some features of our website may not function as intended.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to reach potential customers. These platforms use cookies to track your activity across websites and deliver targeted advertising. The information collected through these cookies may be shared with third parties, including advertisers and advertising networks.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to cookies set by pizzas-mod.digital directly (first-party cookies), we also allow certain third parties to place cookies on your device when you visit our website. These third-party cookies are subject to the respective privacy policies of those third parties, not our Cookie Policy.

The third parties whose cookies may be present on our website include:

  • Google LLC — for analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google Ads, Google AdSense)
  • Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook) — for social media integration and advertising targeting
  • Other advertising networks — that we may engage from time to time to deliver targeted advertising

We do not have direct control over the information collected by third-party cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties to understand how they collect and use your information.

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act's consumer protection principles, we are committed to being transparent about our use of cookies and providing you with meaningful choices about how your data is collected and used.

Our use of cookies is based on the following legal grounds:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are used based on our legitimate interest in operating and maintaining a functional website. No consent is required for these cookies.
  • Analytical, Functional, and Advertising Cookies: These are used based on your consent, which you provide through our cookie consent banner or tool when you first visit our website.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Instructions on how to do so are provided in Section 7 of this policy. Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to your withdrawal.

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Certain advertising cookies may constitute the "sharing" of personal information under California law. To exercise your opt-out rights, please see the contact information in Section 10 of this policy.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

  • Disabling Analytical Cookies: We will no longer be able to collect data about how you use our website, which means we will have less information available to improve your experience and the performance of our site. Your browsing experience will not be significantly affected.
  • Disabling Functional Cookies: You will still be able to visit and use our website, but certain features may not work as intended. For example, your language preferences may not be saved, and you may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit.
  • Disabling Advertising Cookies: You will still see advertisements, but they will no longer be tailored to your interests and may be less relevant to you. You may also see the same advertisements more frequently, as the frequency-capping feature will no longer function.

When we make significant changes to this policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by placing a prominent notice on our website.
