Last Updated: June 3, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Mod Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at modpizza-delivery.rest and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we may use, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are also available on our website.
By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may disable them through your browser settings or by using the opt-out tools described in this policy — though please note that doing so may affect the functionality of our website.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners and third-party service providers to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.
Cookies are created when your browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file. Every time the user returns to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server.
Cookies serve many functions. They help websites remember your preferences and settings, keep you logged in, understand how you interact with the site, and deliver relevant advertising. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be linked to personal data that you have provided or that we have collected.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic files embedded in web pages or emails used to track user behavior and email open rates.
- Local Storage Objects: Similar to cookies, these store data locally in your browser for enhanced functionality.
- Session Storage: Temporary data stored for the duration of a browser session.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device to create a unique identifier.
3. How We Use Cookies

- Ensuring the website functions correctly and securely
- Remembering your preferences, such as language settings and location
- Keeping you signed in to your account during your session
- Understanding how visitors use our website (analytics)
- Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
- Personalizing the content and advertisements you see
- Improving the overall performance and user experience of our website
- Preventing fraudulent activity and enhancing security

4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our website into the following types:
4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the core functionality of our website. Without them, services like placing an online order, maintaining your session, or navigating between pages securely would not work. Because they are strictly necessary for the delivery of the service you request, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools.
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred delivery address, language, or location) and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies 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 features may not function properly.
4.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether users receive error messages. This data helps us understand and improve the performance of our website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
4.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
