Effective Date: April 30, 2026 | Last Updated: April 30, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizza Ranch ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzaranchfood.click, and what choices you have regarding their use.
We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.
Our use of cookies complies with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and relevant state privacy regulations including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are stored by your web browser and contain data that allows websites to recognize your device during a current visit or on future visits.
Cookies serve many important functions on modern websites. They can help a website remember your preferences, keep you logged in, understand how you interact with content, and deliver relevant advertising. Without cookies, many features of websites — including online ordering for a food service like Pizza Ranch — would not function properly.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit pizzaranchfood.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and recall information about your previous visit.
Cookies can be set either by us (called "first-party cookies") or by third-party services we use on our website (called "third-party cookies"). Both types may collect information about your browsing behavior.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track whether a page was viewed or an email was opened.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is only retained for the duration of your browser session.
- JavaScript Tags: Small snippets of code that track certain behaviors on our website and report them to analytics or advertising platforms.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on pizzaranchfood.click into four main types, based on their purpose and function:
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies (also called "strictly necessary" cookies) are required for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, core features of our site — such as the online ordering system, shopping cart, and account login — would not work. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your experience on our website.
Examples of what essential cookies do on pizzaranchfood.click include:
- Maintaining your session when you browse our menu and add items to your order
- Remembering items in your cart during your visit
- Enabling secure login to your Pizza Ranch account
- Preventing fraudulent activity and enhancing security
3.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies may remember your preferred location, language settings, your name if you have previously registered, and other customizations that improve your browsing experience.
For a food ordering platform like Pizza Ranch, functional cookies may also remember your past orders, saved delivery addresses, and dietary preferences, making it faster and easier for you to order your favorite meals.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as which pages you visit most often, how long you spend on each page, what links you click, and where you came from before arriving at our site. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify you as an individual.
We use this information to improve the performance of our website, fix bugs, enhance user experience, and develop new features. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They track your browsing behavior across websites and build a profile of your interests, which is then used to show you targeted ads on our site and on third-party platforms.
These cookies may be set by advertising partners such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). They do not store directly personally identifiable information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

At this time, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We will make reasonable efforts to honor such signals where technically feasible, but we cannot guarantee full compliance due to the lack of a standardized technical specification.
