Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 10, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to pizzmod.click. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on our website, and the choices you have regarding their use.
This 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 this Cookie Policy, please contact us at [email protected].
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 and operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Mod Pizza operating through pizzmod.click) 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.
Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed and can be used by the website to recognize your computer or device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit pizzmod.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred language, items in your shopping cart, or your login status.
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A web browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within your browser.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when the browser session ends.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser settings and device characteristics to create a unique identifier.
For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on pizzmod.click:
4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.
4.2 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 understand 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 to analyze how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. For more information on how Google uses your data, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

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. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, to provide a more personalized experience.
4.4 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 sites. 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 may use Meta (Facebook) Pixel for advertising and retargeting purposes. These services help us deliver relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our website.

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
As a business operating in the United States, our use of cookies is governed primarily by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which requires us to be transparent about our data collection practices.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, cookies that collect personal information for advertising purposes may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. California residents have the right to opt out of such practices by submitting a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" request. For more information, please review our Privacy Policy or contact us directly.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that some features and functionality of pizzmod.click may not work as intended. Specifically:
- Essential Cookies Disabled: The website may not function properly. You may not be able to log in to your account, add items to your cart, place food orders, or complete transactions. Key security features may also be affected.
- Analytics Cookies Disabled: We will be unable to collect information about how you use our website, which means we cannot continuously improve our services based on user behavior data. This does not affect your browsing experience directly.
- Functional Cookies Disabled: You may lose personalization features. Your preferences (such as saved location, dietary filters, or language settings) will not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter them each time.
- Advertising Cookies Disabled: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not mean you will stop seeing ads — it means the ads you see will be less tailored to you.
We want to be transparent that disabling certain cookies may degrade your experience when ordering food, accessing promotions, or interacting with personalized content on our website. We recommend keeping essential and functional cookies enabled for the best possible user experience.
9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the tools described in Section 7 above to manage your cookie preferences and opt out of specific tracking activities.
10. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13.

We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in our data collection practices.
