1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website modpizza-fresh.rest, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use to operate our website and improve your experience. As a food service business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and other relevant regulations governing online tracking and data collection.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us at:

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function properly, work more efficiently, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are sent by the web server to your browser and stored on your device. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or previous actions.

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.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit modpizza-fresh.rest, our web server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back to our server each time you make a request. This process allows our website to:

  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Keep you signed into your account (if applicable)
  • Understand how you navigate and interact with our site
  • Deliver relevant content, promotions, and advertisements
  • Analyze website performance and user behavior
  • Improve website functionality and your overall experience

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views, email opens, and user interactions.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when your browser session ends.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that run in your browser to collect behavioral data and enable certain features.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, references to "cookies" include all such similar tracking technologies unless otherwise stated.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category:

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, 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 function, you cannot opt out of them through our cookie settings.

Essential cookies typically:

  • Maintain your session as you browse the website
  • Remember items in your shopping cart or order
  • Support security features and fraud prevention
  • Enable load balancing and performance optimization

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter error messages. This data helps us understand how our website is performing and how we can improve it. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, which collects data such as your approximate geographic location, device type, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and how you arrived at our site.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or saved preferences) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.

Functional cookies on our site may include:

  • Language and region preferences
  • Saved menu or order preferences
  • Social media widgets and embedding features
  • Live chat and customer support tools

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 help 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 advertisers.

We use advertising cookies from services including Google Ads and Facebook (Meta) to measure ad performance and reach users who may be interested in our food offerings and promotions.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may have significant impacts on your experience when using our website. Below is a summary of potential consequences:

Cookie Type If Disabled — Potential Impact
Essential Cookies The website may not function correctly. Online ordering, account login, and cart functionality may be unavailable or unreliable. Security features may be compromised.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to collect data about your visit for performance monitoring. This does not directly affect your user experience but limits our ability to improve the website.
Functional Cookies Your saved preferences (such as location, dietary filters, and settings) will not be remembered between visits. You may need to re-enter information each time you visit.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly. Our ability to measure campaign effectiveness will be reduced.

We recommend that you allow at least essential and functional cookies for the best experience on our website, particularly if you plan to place an online order.

7. Cookies and California Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) regarding the personal information collected through cookies, including:

  • Right to Know: The right to request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell.
  • Right to Delete: The right to request deletion of personal information we have collected from you.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be 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 browser DNT signals.

However, you can manage your tracking preferences using the opt-out tools and browser settings described in Section 5 of this policy. We continue to monitor industry developments regarding DNT standards and will update our practices accordingly.

9. Third-Party Cookies and External Links

These third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with their content. We do not control these cookies and are not responsible for third-party privacy practices.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party websites you visit. Key third-party services connected to our website include:
