1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Ranch, accessible at pizzaranch-eat.click. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy is part of our broader commitment to your privacy and complements our Privacy Policy.

This policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access our website. It explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, and how you can control your cookie preferences. We encourage you to read this policy carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

This Cookie Policy is governed by applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices in commerce.

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 to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable certain functionalities.

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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends that cookie back to our server. This process allows us to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

Cookies can be session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a specified period of time, or until you delete them).

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand user behavior and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Scripts that collect information about your interactions with our website.

For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Pizza Ranch uses cookies for a variety of reasons, all aimed at improving your experience on our website and helping us understand how our site is being used. Specifically, we use cookies to:

• Ensure our website functions correctly and securely
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Analyze how visitors use our website so we can improve it
• Deliver relevant advertisements and marketing messages
• Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• Enable social media features and integrations
• Prevent fraudulent activity and enhance security
• Provide online ordering and food delivery functionality

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising cookies.

4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our website cannot be provided. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling out forms, or placing an online food order.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our website and services, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions. They do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is required for session management and security purposes.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. These may include remembering your location for delivery purposes, your preferred language, your name for personalized greetings, or your past orders so you can reorder quickly.

These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching videos or using interactive tools on our site. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies help us measure traffic, identify popular pages, understand where our visitors come from, and improve our website's performance.

We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, to help analyze how users interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. This information is processed to compile statistical reports on website activity.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are 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 Google Ads and may integrate with Facebook and other advertising platforms to show you relevant promotions for our pizza and food products, special deals, and seasonal offers.
