Last Updated: July 18, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Mod Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website goodmodpizza.rest, and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable United States privacy laws.

As a food service business operating in the United States, we take your privacy seriously. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

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. These files are stored in your web browser and allow websites and third-party services to recognize your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information about your preferences or actions.

Cookies serve a variety of purposes, including:

  • Enabling essential website functionality so that you can navigate and use features properly
  • Remembering your preferences and settings to enhance your browsing experience
  • Collecting anonymous statistical data to help us understand how visitors interact with our website
  • Delivering relevant advertising content based on your browsing behavior
  • Allowing us to improve our online services and menu offerings

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, session storage, and JavaScript tracking scripts. For simplicity, this policy refers to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."

2.1 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies can be categorized based on how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session while you browse our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits to our website.

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Mod Pizza (goodmodpizza.rest) and are only readable by our website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by third-party services that appear on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. These third parties may collect information about your online activities across different websites.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on goodmodpizza.rest into the following four main types:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security features, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and services you have requested — such as online ordering or account login — cannot be provided.

Essential cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors arrive at and interact with our website. They help us measure and improve the performance of goodmodpizza.rest by collecting information about which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — we cannot identify you personally from this data.

We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics platform. Google Analytics collects data about your browsing behavior on our website to help us improve the user experience.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional 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 integrated into our website. These cookies remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, region, or saved menu items — so that we can deliver a more personalized experience when you return to our website.

If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these enhanced features may not function properly, and certain personalized content may not be available to you.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more 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. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission and remember that you have visited our website. This information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to reach potential customers who have previously visited our website (a practice known as "remarketing" or "retargeting").
