Effective Date: April 15, 2026  |  Last Updated: April 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Ranch (hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy provides detailed information about how and why we use cookies on our website located at ranch-piz.click.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and protect your personal information. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our operations, or for any other reason we consider necessary or appropriate. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

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 in order to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and help personalize your browsing experience.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the browser, where they are stored for future reference. Each time the same browser visits the server again, the cookie data is sent back, allowing the server to identify the browser and remember preferences or information about your visit.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Ranch) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit our website, our server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie file locally on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser sends back the stored cookie information to our server, which helps us recognize you and provide a more seamless experience.

Cookies can be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. Both types serve different purposes, as explained in detail below.

2.2 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:

• Web Beacons: Small electronic files (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us to count users who have visited certain pages or opened an email, and for other related website statistics.
• Local Storage: HTML5 local storage allows websites to store data in a web browser with no expiration date, providing faster access and offline functionality.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only kept for the duration of the browser session.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser type, version, screen resolution, and other settings to generate a unique identifier.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use cookies for a number of different purposes. Below is a detailed explanation of each category of cookies we employ on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential to enable you to move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as filling in order forms or accessing secure areas, cannot be provided. Because these cookies are essential to the operation of the website, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you can always block these cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may impact how the website functions.

Essential cookies are used for purposes such as remembering items in your shopping cart, maintaining your session while you browse, authenticating your login, and ensuring the security of our website.

3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors visit most often and whether they receive error messages. The data collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous — it does not identify individual users. We use this information to improve how our website works and to understand user behavior.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website, such as which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what links you click. All of this information is reported to us in an anonymized, aggregated format.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located.

These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising / 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 remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. Quite often advertising cookies will be linked to website functionality provided by other organizations.

We use Google Ads and other advertising platforms to show you relevant advertisements. These services use cookies to track conversions and serve targeted ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites across the internet.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
