We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website.

Cookies are an important part of how our website functions, enabling us to provide you with a seamless and personalized experience. This policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, how we use them, and the choices you have regarding cookie usage.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in accordance with applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and 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.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit a website, the web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie on your device. The next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and recall your preferences or previous interactions.

Cookies can be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you manually delete them.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons: Small electronic files (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, or single-pixel gifs) embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to count users who have visited certain pages or opened emails.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only available for the duration of the browser session.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser, device settings, and other characteristics to identify your device.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:
