Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 25, 2026  |  Effective Date: April 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Ranch (referred to as "we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at pizz-ranchs.click. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy is designed to give you clear information about what cookies are placed on your device, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We encourage you to read this document carefully so you can make informed decisions about your privacy when visiting our website.

By accessing or using pizz-ranchs.click, 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 in this policy, though some features of our website may not function as intended as a result.

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. These files are stored in your browser's designated folder and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences, login status, or shopping cart contents.

Cookies were originally developed to help websites deliver a more personalized and efficient experience to users. Without cookies, every time you navigated to a new page on a website, it would treat you as a completely new visitor, making seamless browsing experiences impossible.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting directly — these are known as first-party cookies. Other cookies are set by third-party services that appear on the page, such as analytics platforms, advertising networks, and social media plugins — these are known as third-party cookies.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pizz-ranchs.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. On subsequent visits or page loads, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies contain data such as a unique identifier, the domain they belong to, an expiration date, and any values stored by the website. They cannot execute programs, carry viruses, or access information stored elsewhere on your device. They are purely data files used for identification and preference management purposes.

2.2 Related Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a user has visited a page or opened an email.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device for extended periods, even after the browser is closed.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but limited to the duration of a single browsing session.
• JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect behavioral data, used by analytics and advertising platforms.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on pizz-ranchs.click into four main types based on their purpose and function. Understanding these categories will help you make informed decisions about which cookies you are comfortable allowing.

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

Essential cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, certain core features — such as page navigation, secure access, and form submissions — would not work properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools, though you can block them through your browser settings (which may affect website functionality).

These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and are not used for marketing purposes.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, location, or previously selected menu items. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or using a live chat feature.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data includes which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, where visitors come from (referral source), and what actions they take. We use this information to improve the structure, content, and performance of our website.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose, a service provided by Google LLC, which uses cookies to track user interactions on our website. Google Analytics data is processed in a way that does not personally identify individual users.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. We use Google Ads conversion tracking for this purpose.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below lists the specific cookies placed on your device when you visit pizz-ranchs.click, including their names, purposes, types, and durations.

5. Third-Party Cookies and Services

In addition to our own first-party cookies, we work with trusted third-party services that may also place cookies on your device. These third parties have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them:

We do not control the cookies set by these third-party services. Their use of your data is governed by their respective privacy policies.

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Our use of cookies is governed by applicable United States law, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which regulates unfair or deceptive practices, including in the collection and use of consumer data online. For users in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provide additional rights regarding the collection and sale of personal information, including data collected through cookies.
