Last Updated: April 26, 2026

1. Introduction

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

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By accessing or using pizzas-mods.digital, you agree to the placement of cookies on your device as described herein.

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-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect analytical and behavioral data.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions. They 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 set either by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party organizations such as advertisers or analytics providers (known as "third-party cookies").

2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies can be classified based on their duration:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during a browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They help the website remember what you did during a single session, such as items in a shopping cart.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and actions across multiple sessions.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views or email opens.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data on your device similar to cookies but with larger capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that enable the collection of data about how you interact with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on pizzas-mods.digital into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising. Each category serves a specific purpose, as described below.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functionalities such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions. Without these cookies, the website would not function properly.

These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information, and they are not used for marketing purposes. Because they are strictly necessary, they are exempt from consent requirements under most applicable laws.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your language preference, your location for delivery purposes, or previously selected menu items.

These cookies 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.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This information allows us to improve the structure, content, and functionality of our website. We use services such as Google Analytics to gather this data.

The data collected includes information such as which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, how they arrived at our website, and whether they encounter any errors. This helps us continuously improve the online experience for our users.

3.4 Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies (also known as targeting cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. We may use services like Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) Pixel for this purpose.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

We want to be transparent about what may happen if you choose to disable or restrict cookies on pizzas-mods.digital. The impact will vary depending on which types of cookies you disable:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies The website may not function correctly. You may be unable to navigate between pages, submit forms, or place online orders. Core security features may be compromised.
Functional Cookies Your preferences (such as saved location, language settings, or cart items) will not be remembered between sessions. You may need to re-enter information each time you visit.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect anonymous data about how you use our website. This limits our ability to identify problems and improve user experience, but will not directly impact your experience of the website.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be generic and less relevant to your interests. You may also see the same ads repeatedly across different websites.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked across websites. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals. As such, our website does not respond to DNT browser signals at this time.

If a standardized industry practice is established that includes DNT signals, we will revisit this policy and update it accordingly. California residents may also exercise their rights under the CCPA/CPRA using the opt-out mechanisms described in Section 7.
