Last Updated: April 4, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to pizzamods.click ("we," "us," or "our"), the official website of Mod Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website and how they may affect your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and should be read alongside it.

This policy applies to all visitors and users of pizzamods.click and describes in detail the types of cookies and similar tracking technologies we deploy, why we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use. Our practices are consistent with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing unfair or deceptive practices, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable.

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 function properly, to improve efficiency, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Mod Pizza) are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website — such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies remain on your device for different periods of time depending on whether they are "session" or "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 as you navigate through our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie, or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), scripts, and local storage objects. These technologies work in a similar way to cookies and allow us to monitor activity on our website and deliver a better, more personalized service.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on pizzamods.click:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic website functions. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and they cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under most applicable laws. However, we are transparent about their use as part of our commitment to your privacy.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help analyze how users use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our website and food services.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They 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. Functional cookies include things like remembering your language preferences, location, and any customizations you make to our website.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. These cookies include Google Ads cookies that help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may have a significant impact on your experience of our website. The following table outlines the potential impacts of disabling each category of cookies:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Our website may not function properly. You may not be able to navigate between pages, submit forms, complete online orders, or access secure areas of the site. Core features of our food ordering system may be unavailable.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect information about how you use our website. This means we cannot improve our website's performance or understand which features are most useful to our visitors. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected.
Functional Cookies Some features may not function as expected. Your preferences (such as language settings) will not be saved, and you may need to re-enter them on each visit. Personalization features will be limited.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Ads will be generic rather than personalized based on your browsing behavior and interests related to our food services.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and we do not currently alter our data collection or use practices in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices if and when a universal standard is established.

California residents may also exercise their rights under the CCPA/CPRA regarding the sale or sharing of personal information, including information collected through cookies. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details on how to exercise your rights as a California consumer.
