Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 19, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to modpizz.rest (the "Website"), operated by Mod Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, how we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we process your personal data. As a business operating in the United States, our practices are guided by applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding fair and transparent consumer practices.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this policy, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and are delivered to your browser. Each cookie contains a small amount of data, typically including:

  • The name of the cookie
  • The value of the cookie (a unique identifier or data string)
  • The domain that set the cookie
  • An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
  • A path that specifies the URL paths for which the cookie is valid

When you return to a website, your browser sends these cookies back to the server, allowing the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or previous actions.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, modpizz.rest). They are generally used to improve your experience on that specific website.

Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. These are typically used by advertisers, analytics providers, and social media platforms to track your online activity across multiple websites and deliver targeted advertising or measure campaign performance.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They help the website remember your actions as you navigate between pages.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie's parameters, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a different purpose and has a different impact on your browsing experience.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not work properly, and you would not be able to use core features such as placing an order, navigating menus, or accessing secure areas of the site. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable law, as they are strictly necessary for delivering the service you have requested.

Examples of what these cookies do include:

  • Maintaining your session as you move through the site
  • Remembering items you have added to your cart
  • Authenticating your account login
  • Ensuring the security of your browsing session

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website. This includes which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on pages, and any error messages encountered. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous — it does not identify individual users.

We use this data to improve the performance and usability of our website. For example, we use Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior and improve our food ordering experience. Google Analytics operates under Google's own privacy policies, and data collected may be transferred to and processed on Google's servers in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past — such as your location, preferred language, or saved customizations — to provide a more personalized experience. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on content.

If you disable these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

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 are typically placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing features, which may set cookies on your device when you interact with our advertisements. These cookies remember that you visited modpizz.rest and this information may be shared with third-party advertisers.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you are free to restrict or disable cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our website. The following describes the potential impact for each category of cookie:

Cookie Type Impact If Disabled
Essential Cookies Core website functionality will be impaired. You may not be able to add items to your cart, place orders, or log into your account. We strongly recommend keeping these enabled.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect aggregated data about how visitors use our site. This may limit our ability to identify and fix performance issues or improve user experience. Your personal browsing will not be affected.
Functional Cookies The website will not be able to remember your preferences (such as your location or saved customizations). You may need to re-enter this information each time you visit.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not reduce the number of ads you see — only their relevance.

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). In connection with the cookies we use, you may have the following rights:

When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

If we make significant changes to how we use cookies that may materially affect your privacy rights, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you — for example, by posting a prominent notice on our website or by sending an email notification if we have your contact information.
