1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Ranch ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website located at pizzaranch-food.rest, and what choices you have regarding their use.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect and process your personal data.

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 adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored by your web browser and allow websites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and gather information about how you interact with the site.

Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide better user experiences, and give website owners useful analytical information. They do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be combined with other data to identify you.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit pizzaranch-food.rest, our server sends a small cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly.

Some cookies are set by us directly (first-party cookies), while others are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (third-party cookies).

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browser session. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on our website, each serving a different purpose. Below, we describe each category in detail.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website. Without them, certain features or services cannot be provided. Because these cookies are necessary for the website to work, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. You may be able to disable them through your browser settings, but doing so may prevent the website from functioning correctly.

Essential cookies typically handle tasks such as:

• Maintaining your session as you navigate from page to page
• Remembering items you have placed in an online order or cart
• Storing your cookie consent preferences
• Ensuring the security of your session

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website. They help us understand which pages are most popular, how users navigate through the site, and whether users encounter any error messages. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — it does not identify individual visitors.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our website is being used. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of the website and generates reports for us. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies can remember your preferred language, your location, or your previously selected menu preferences. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies to track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to serve relevant ads to users who have previously visited our website.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own (first-party) cookies, we permit certain trusted third parties to set cookies on our website through our platform. These third parties provide services to us such as web analytics, advertising, and social media integration. The third parties we currently work with include:

• Google LLC — Analytics and advertising services. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
• Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook) — Advertising and social media integration services.

We do not control the cookies set by these third parties and encourage you to review their respective privacy and cookie policies for more information on how they use cookies and how to manage them.
