Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Pizza Ranch ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website pizza-ranchs.digital (the "Website"). Please read this policy carefully to understand what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies are not harmful programs or viruses. They cannot execute code or deliver malware. They simply store small pieces of data that help websites function properly and provide a more personalized experience.

How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pizza-ranchs.digital, our server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our Website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your previous interactions. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a specified period (persistent cookies).

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:

• Web Beacons: Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been viewed.
• Pixels: Small code snippets used by advertising platforms to track conversions and user behavior.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond what cookies typically store.
• Session Storage: Temporary storage that clears when the browser tab is closed.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on our Website. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

2.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our Website cannot be provided. They include cookies that enable you to log into secure areas, use a shopping cart, or make use of online ordering services. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, we do not require your consent to place them. However, you can block them by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how the Website functions.

2.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the structure, content, and functionality of the Website. For example, these cookies tell us which pages are most popular, how long visitors spend on each page, and any error messages they encounter.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to analyze the use of our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our Website, including your IP address. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our Website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. For more information about how Google uses your data, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy.

2.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you have made in the past, such as your language preference, region, font size, and other customizable elements of the Website. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

2.4 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and similar advertising platforms to reach potential customers and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These platforms use cookies to track conversions and deliver targeted advertisements.
