1. Introduction

Welcome to modpizzamenu.rest, operated by Mod Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on our website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie 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 at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored 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 work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect information about how visitors use their sites.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you visit and are delivered to your browser. Your browser then stores the cookie file and sends it back to the server each time you return to that website. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit modpizzamenu.rest, our server sends one or more cookies to your browser. Your browser stores these cookies in a designated folder on your device. Each time you request a new page from our website, your browser sends the relevant cookies back to our server. This process allows us to:

  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Keep you signed in to your account (if applicable)
  • Understand how you use our website
  • Deliver relevant content and advertisements
  • Improve our website's performance and user experience
  • Analyze traffic patterns and visitor behavior

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be classified as either first-party or third-party cookies:

  • First-party cookies are set directly by our website (modpizzamenu.rest) and can only be read by our website. These are typically used to improve functionality and user experience.
  • Third-party cookies are set by external services or partners that appear on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms like Facebook. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites.

2.3 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They help our website function correctly during your visit.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (or until you manually delete them). They allow our website to recognize you on your next visit and remember your preferences.
