Last Updated: June 5, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at modpizza-cheese.click and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we 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 our use of cookies, 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 owners to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and collect analytical information about how visitors use the site.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you return to that website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, helping the site recognize your device and remember information about your previous visits.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be classified based on who sets them:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Mod Pizza (the website you are visiting). They are used to improve your experience and provide core functionality.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting — for example, cookies set by Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms like Facebook. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across different websites.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They allow websites to remember your preferences and actions for future visits.

3. How We Use Cookies

Mod Pizza uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to:

  • Ensuring the website functions correctly and securely
  • Remembering your preferences and settings
  • Analyzing how visitors interact with our website so we can improve it
  • Delivering relevant advertisements tailored to your interests
  • Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Enabling social media features and integrations
  • Providing a personalized experience for our food ordering and menu browsing features

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our website into four main types:

4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website would not work. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. You cannot opt out of these cookies through our cookie settings, as they are required for the website to operate.

Essential cookies on our site may include those that:

  • Maintain your session as you browse our website
  • Remember items you have added to an online cart
  • Ensure security and prevent fraudulent activity
  • Load-balance traffic across servers

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit most often, how long you spend on each page, and any error messages you encounter. This data helps us understand website performance and make improvements to enhance your experience. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify you personally.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data about your visit, including your IP address, browser type, device, and pages visited. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made (such as your username, language, region, or menu preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your location so we can show you the nearest Mod Pizza location or remember your dietary preferences when browsing our menu.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 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 help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and may use Facebook Pixel and other advertising platforms to serve targeted advertisements to you both on and off our website.
