1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). We operate the website modpizza-cheese.rest and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your use of our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we place on your device, and how you can control and manage them.

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 or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this document.

By accessing or using our website at modpizza-cheese.rest, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may disable them by following the instructions provided in this policy, though doing so may affect certain features of our website.

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 and online businesses to make their 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 delivered to your browser. The browser stores the cookie file and sends it back to the server each time your browser requests a page from the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and the contents of your shopping cart.

Cookies 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 can be categorized in different ways:

2.1 By Party

  • First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, modpizza-cheese.rest). They are generally used to recognize your device when you revisit our website.
  • Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. They are typically used for tracking and online advertising purposes by third-party services such as Google, Facebook, or other analytics and advertising providers.

2.2 By Duration

  • Session cookies are temporary cookies that are stored on your device only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed, for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They allow a website to remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits.

2.3 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web beacons (pixel tags): Tiny, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and email open rates.
  • 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: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browsing session ends.
  • Device fingerprinting: A method of identifying your device based on its configuration and settings.

3. How We Use Cookies

Mod Pizza uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Ensuring the proper functioning of our website and its features
  • Remembering your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit
  • Understanding how visitors use our website so we can improve its content and layout
  • Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and promotions

They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or delete cookies, doing so may have a significant impact on your experience using our website and services. The following table outlines the potential effects of disabling different types of cookies:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Disabling essential cookies will severely impair the functionality of our website. You may be unable to complete online orders, log into your account, add items to your cart, or use secure areas of the site. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
Analytics Cookies Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use our website. However, we will be unable to collect aggregated data about how visitors use our site, which may limit our ability to improve website performance and user experience over time.
Functional Cookies Disabling functional cookies may mean that certain features of the website will not work as intended. You may need to re-enter your preferences (such as language and location) each time you visit, and personalized features may not be available.
Advertising Cookies Disabling advertising cookies will not prevent advertisements from appearing, but they may be less relevant to your interests. You will still see ads, but they will not be personalized based on your browsing behavior. The number of times you see the same ad may also increase.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not currently change its behavior in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

If you are concerned about tracking, we encourage you to use the opt-out tools listed in Section 7 of this Cookie Policy, which provide more reliable ways to limit tracking across websites.
