1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). When you visit our website at pizz-mods.world, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and deliver relevant content. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

This policy is designed to comply with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and other relevant federal and state regulations governing digital privacy and data collection.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and contain a small amount of data, which may include a unique identifier for your device or browser. Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie.

Cookies serve a variety of purposes, including:

  • Remembering your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.
  • Keeping you logged in to your account across pages and sessions.
  • Understanding how you interact with our website so we can improve its performance and content.
  • Delivering targeted advertisements based on your browsing behavior.
  • Preventing fraudulent activity and improving security.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and other tracking technologies that function similarly to cookies. For the purposes of this policy, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use on pizz-mods.world into four main types, as described below:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also called "strictly necessary" cookies) are required for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, core features of the site — such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and processing of orders — would not work. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver services you have requested, they cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your experience on our website.

Examples of functions supported by essential cookies include session management, load balancing, security token verification, and fraud detection.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, and where visitors come from. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not personally identify individual users.

We use this information to improve the structure, content, and overall performance of our website. Our primary analytics provider is Google Analytics, operated by Google LLC.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or saved items) 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 disable functional cookies, some features of our website may not work as intended, but the core functionality will remain accessible.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called "targeting" or "marketing" cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to individual users. These cookies track your browsing activity across websites and help us and our advertising partners build a profile of your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These cookies are typically placed by third-party advertising networks such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). They are subject to those companies' own privacy and cookie policies.
