Last Updated: April 3, 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 (modpizza.top), and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and how they affect your browsing experience on our food ordering and information platform.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. By accessing or using modpizza.top, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy.
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 in order to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to support marketing activities.
Cookies set by the website operator (in this case, Mod Pizza) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website operator 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our website, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This process allows us to recognize you, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.
Cookies contain data fields that typically include:
- The name of the cookie
- The value of the cookie (a unique identifier or stored preference)
- The domain for which the cookie is valid
- An expiration date (or session-based expiration)
- Security flags (such as HTTPS-only access)
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether you have accessed specific content.
- Local Storage: A technology similar to cookies that stores data locally in your browser without expiration dates.
- Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when your browser session ends.
- JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about your interactions with our website.
For simplicity, all of these technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several types of cookies on modpizza.top, each serving a distinct purpose. Below, we describe each category in detail.
3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
Essential cookies enable core functionalities such as:
- User authentication and secure login sessions
- Shopping cart and order management functionality
- Security features to protect against fraud and abuse
- Load balancing to ensure website performance
- Remembering your cookie consent preferences
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can block them through your browser settings, though this may significantly impact your ability to use our website.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where visitors are coming from. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We primarily use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user behavior on our site, including:
- The number of visitors to our site and pages visited
- How long visitors spend on our website
- Which websites referred visitors to our site
- Technical details about visitors' devices and browsers
- Geographic location data (at the country/city level)
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 added to our pages. These cookies remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features.
Examples of functionality enabled by functional cookies include:
- Remembering your preferred language or region
- Remembering your location for local restaurant or delivery options
- Storing your menu preferences and dietary restrictions
- Enabling live chat and customer support features
- Remembering your account settings and preferences
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. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
We use services like Google Ads and may use social media platforms to serve targeted advertising. These cookies track your browsing habits across different websites to build a profile of your interests.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the right to disable cookies, it is important to understand how doing so may affect your experience on modpizza.top. The impact varies depending on which type of cookies you disable:
6.1 Disabling Essential Cookies
6.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies
Low Impact on Experience: Disabling analytics cookies will not prevent you from using our website normally. However, we will no longer be able to gather data about how you use our site, which means we may be less able to identify and fix issues, optimize performance, or improve the content and features we offer.
6.3 Disabling Functional Cookies
Moderate Impact: Disabling functional cookies means that some personalization features will not work. For example, we may not remember your delivery address, language preferences, or dietary settings. You may need to re-enter these preferences each time you visit.
6.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies
Minimal Impact on Core Functionality: Disabling advertising cookies will not affect your ability to use our core food ordering services. However, you may still see advertisements from us or our partners — they will simply be less relevant to your interests and browsing behavior.
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to have your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, like many websites, modpizza.top does not currently respond to DNT signals. We encourage you to use the opt-out tools and browser settings described in this policy to manage your cookie preferences.
8. Children's Privacy and Cookies
Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use advertising or tracking cookies to collect personal information from children under 13.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of modpizza.top after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
10. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
As a business based in the United States, we process cookie-related data in accordance with applicable U.S. laws. For users in California, our use of cookies that involve the sale or sharing of personal information is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
