1. Introduction

Welcome to pizz-mods.digital, operated by Mod Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website located at pizz-mods.digital and should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

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 websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. The browser then sends the cookie back to the server each time the page is requested. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

There are two main types of cookies based on their origin:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by the website you are visiting — in this case, pizz-mods.digital. They are primarily used to improve your experience on our website.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. They are often used for advertising and tracking purposes by third-party companies such as Google, Facebook, and other analytics or marketing platforms.

Cookies can also be categorized by how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain information about your current browsing session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a specified period of time, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): These are small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A web technology that allows websites to store data locally on your browser. Similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data.
  • JavaScript Tags: Snippets of code that can collect information about your interactions with our website and send it to third-party analytics or advertising platforms.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device configuration to create a unique identifier.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, references to "cookies" also include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.
