Last Updated: May 2, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Ranch. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on pizzaranchfood.digital, and how you can exercise your rights to control their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and our handling of your personal data. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect information about how visitors use their sites.

Cookies are created by the web server hosting a website and delivered to the browser application on your device. The browser stores the cookie and sends it back to the server each time the browser makes a subsequent request. This allows the server to recognize your browser and remember certain information about your visit.

There are several types of cookies based on their origin and lifespan:

• First-party cookies – These are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, pizzaranchfood.digital).
• Third-party cookies – These are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by advertising networks, analytics providers, or social media platforms.
• Session cookies – These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to remember your actions during a single browsing session.
• Persistent cookies – These remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects (LSOs), and device fingerprinting, may also be used alongside or instead of cookies to collect information about your interactions with our website and online services. Throughout this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to all such technologies collectively.

3. How We Use Cookies

Pizza Ranch uses cookies for a variety of purposes, all aimed at improving the quality of your experience on our website and helping us deliver relevant content and advertisements. Specifically, we use cookies to:

• Ensure the proper technical functioning of our website and online services.
• Remember your preferences and personalize your experience (such as language settings and location).
• Analyze how visitors use our website so that we can improve its performance and content.
• Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and promotional activities.
• Deliver targeted advertisements that are relevant to your interests, both on our website and on third-party platforms.
• Prevent fraudulent activity and enhance the security of our digital services.
• Comply with our legal obligations under applicable United States law.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies used on our website into four main categories, as described below.

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, our website or certain features of it cannot function properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our website and services, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, you can block them using your browser settings, though this may affect your ability to use our website.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. This data helps us understand and improve the performance of our website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — we cannot use it to identify you personally.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, based in the United States. For more information about how Google uses data collected through analytics cookies, please visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 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 conversion tracking and remarketing cookies, as well as cookies from other advertising partners, to reach visitors who have previously visited our website with relevant advertisements across the internet.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block certain types of cookies, please be aware that this may affect your experience of our website and the services we are able to offer you. Specifically:

• Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from using core features of our website, such as completing an online food order, logging into your account, or accessing secure areas of the site.
• Disabling functional cookies means that your preferences (such as language settings or remembered login details) will not be saved between visits, requiring you to re-enter information each time you use our website.
• Disabling analytics cookies means we will be unable to monitor the performance of our website or understand how visitors use it. This may limit our ability to identify and fix problems or improve our services over time.
• Disabling advertising cookies means that you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may also see the same advertisements repeated more frequently.

We want to assure you that disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from browsing our website; however, some features and personalized experiences may not be available to you.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. At this time, there is no universal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, and our website does not currently respond to DNT browser settings. However, you can use the cookie management options described in Section 7 of this policy to control tracking technologies on our website.

We will continue to monitor developments in DNT technology and applicable law and update our practices accordingly.

10. California Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of California, you have specific rights with respect to your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA).
