Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Pizza Ranch ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website pizzasranchs.digital. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. We encourage you to read this document carefully so that you understand what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

1. 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 in your browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or browsing behavior.

Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners. They do not contain executable code, viruses, or malware, and they cannot access other information stored on your device beyond what the website itself has placed there.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Each cookie has a name, a value, a domain, and an expiration date, among other attributes.

1.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pizzasranchs.digital, our web server sends one or more cookies to your browser. Your browser stores these cookies locally on your device. The next time you visit our website — or load a page that references the same cookie domain — your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server. This allows our website to recognize you and tailor the experience accordingly.

Some cookies expire automatically when you close your browser (these are called "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them (these are called "persistent cookies").

2. Types of Technologies We Use

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use the following related technologies:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior, such as whether an email was opened or a specific page was visited.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data on your device beyond the scope of individual sessions, similar to persistent cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Stores data only for the duration of a browser session and is automatically cleared when the session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our website to enable analytics, advertising, and other third-party functionalities.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies used on pizzasranchs.digital into four main categories based on their purpose:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without them, core features such as page navigation, secure areas, and online ordering would not work. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested, they cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your ability to use the site. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information for marketing purposes.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to measure traffic, identify the most visited pages, understand where visitors come from, and detect any errors users may encounter. This information helps us continuously improve the functionality and content of pizzasranchs.digital. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced and personalized features on our website. They may remember your preferences — such as your preferred location, language settings, or items added to a cart — so that you do not have to re-enter information each time you visit. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also known as marketing or targeting cookies) are used to deliver relevant advertisements and promotional content to you both on our website and across third-party websites. They track your browsing habits and help us and our advertising partners measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. These cookies may be placed by our advertising partners such as Google Ads and Facebook.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
