1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Ranch. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzas-ranchs.click, and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and ensuring that your browsing experience is both safe and enjoyable.

This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our website. Please read this Cookie Policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, as they collectively govern your use of our website and services.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Cookie Policy, please contact us at [email protected].

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 owners and operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to deliver a better and more personalized user experience.

Cookies are created by the web server of the website you visit and are stored by your web browser. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and browsing behavior.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Ranch) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner 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.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website for the first time, your browser receives a cookie from our server. Each time you return to the website or navigate to a new page, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences from previous visits.

Cookies can store a variety of information, including:

• Your login credentials (in an encrypted format)
• Items you have added to your cart or order
• Your language and display preferences
• Your browsing behavior on our website
• Information about your device and internet connection
• Whether you have accepted our cookie policy

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
• Local Storage: A web storage technology that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is only retained for the duration of a browsing session.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that identifies your device based on its unique characteristics, such as browser type, screen resolution, and installed plugins.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all references to "cookies" include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on our website, each serving a specific purpose. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas of the website, and the operation of our online ordering system. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled in our systems.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, one of the most widely used analytics platforms, to collect data about how users interact with our website. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, how long users spend on our site, and where our traffic comes from.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the 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. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or customization preferences for our menu. They provide a more personalized experience and save you from having to re-enter your preferences each time you visit.

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

We use Google Ads cookies to track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to serve you relevant advertisements based on your browsing behavior. This helps us ensure that our advertising budget is spent effectively and that you see ads that are relevant to your interests.
