Quick Summary: Pizza Ranch uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on pizzaranchfood.rest to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and deliver relevant content. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Ranch ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at pizzaranchfood.rest and all related pages, subdomains, and digital services operated by Pizza Ranch. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data through cookies and similar technologies.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, you may manage or disable them using the methods described below. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and performance of our website.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are also available on our website at pizzaranchfood.rest.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — including your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to deliver personalized experiences to visitors.

Cookies are created by the web server hosting the website and delivered to the browser application on your device. The browser stores the cookie as a small text file. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, which recognizes your device and may remember preferences or past interactions.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

First-party cookies — set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, pizzaranchfood.rest).
Third-party cookies — set by a domain different from the website you are visiting, typically through third-party services embedded on the site such as analytics tools or advertising networks.
Session cookies — temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you delete them manually.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and tracking pixels. These technologies function similarly to cookies and allow us to collect information about your interactions with our website. Throughout this policy, when we refer to "cookies," we are also referring to these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

Pizza Ranch uses cookies for a variety of important reasons, including:

To ensure the proper functioning of our website and its essential features.
To remember your preferences and settings when you return to our site.
To understand how visitors interact with our website and improve the overall user experience.
To analyze website traffic and measure the performance of our pages.
To deliver relevant advertising content to users who have shown interest in our products and services.
To comply with legal obligations and protect our legitimate business interests.
To support our online ordering, reservation, and customer service functions.

We use cookies in compliance with applicable United States law, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which governs consumer protection and fair business practices. For users located in California, we also comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which provide additional rights regarding the collection and use of personal data, including data collected via cookies.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize our cookies into the following types:

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain core features — such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, or completing an order — would not function properly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your experience on our site.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to identify which pages are most popular, how long users spend on our site, and what errors may be occurring. We use this information to continually improve our website's performance and usability. These cookies are typically provided by trusted third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made, such as your language preference, region, or saved login information, to provide a more personalized experience. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, or other customizable parts of the website.

4.4 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 advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and may share this information with other organizations such as advertisers.
