1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Ranch ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). We operate the website meal-ranchpizza.click (the "Website") to provide you with information about our food products, services, promotions, and online ordering options. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our Website, and the choices available to you regarding their use.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our Website. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and ensuring that your online experience with us is safe, secure, and enjoyable.

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 operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to provide information to the owners of the website.

Cookies are created by a web server and stored on your device's web browser. When you return to that website, or visit a website that uses those cookies, the website's server recognizes the cookie stored on your device and uses it to remember your preferences and actions. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information, but the personal data we store about you may be linked to the information obtained from cookies.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our Website, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page visits, email opens, and other user behaviors.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device for improved functionality.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is only retained for the duration of your browser session.
• JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that enable tracking and analytics functionality on our Website.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit meal-ranchpizza.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie on your device.

This process allows the server to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized and efficient experience.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

• By Duration: Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

• By Purpose: Cookies can be essential (necessary for the Website to function), functional (enhancing your experience), analytical (helping us understand how the Website is used), or advertising (used to serve relevant ads).
