1. Introduction

Welcome to Pizza Ranch ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzaranch-eat.rest, and the choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. Cookies help us provide you with a better experience when you visit our website, order food online, explore our menu, or interact with our digital services. We use cookies to remember your preferences, analyze website traffic, serve relevant advertising, and enable essential website functionality.

This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access our website at pizzaranch-eat.rest, whether you are browsing our menu, placing an online food order, reading about our locations, or simply learning more about Pizza Ranch.

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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences and actions, and to provide useful information to website owners and operators.

When you visit pizzaranch-eat.rest, our server sends a cookie file to your browser, which stores it 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 tailor your experience accordingly.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

• The name of the website that set the cookie
• A unique identifier (a string of letters and numbers)
• The expiration date of the cookie (how long it will be stored on your device)
• The domain for which the cookie is valid

Cookies are generally safe and do not contain executable code, viruses, or malware. They cannot access other files on your device or read personal information unless you have already provided it to the website.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Pizza Ranch (pizzaranch-eat.rest) and are used exclusively by us to improve your experience on our website. These cookies allow us to recognize you when you return, remember your preferences, and maintain your session when you use our online ordering system.

Third-party cookies are set by external service providers and partners, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook, and other advertising networks. These cookies may track your activity across multiple websites and are governed by the privacy policies of the respective third parties.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you are on our website, for example, keeping items in your shopping cart while you browse our menu.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences for future visits, such as your preferred location, language settings, or login status.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on pizzaranch-eat.rest:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling out forms, or adding items to your online order. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website — including our online ordering system — would not function properly.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are strictly necessary to provide the services you have requested. Because these cookies are essential to the functioning of our website, they do not require your consent under applicable law.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies allow us to count visits, track traffic sources, and understand which pages and features are most popular. This information helps us improve the performance and usability of pizzaranch-eat.rest.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions on our website, which helps us make informed decisions about our content, menu presentation, and user experience. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual users from this data.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred Pizza Ranch location, your saved order preferences, or whether you have previously dismissed a notification or pop-up message.

If you choose to disable functional cookies, some or all of these enhanced services may not function correctly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging to you. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission and remember that you have visited a website.

We work with advertising partners, including Google Ads and Meta (Facebook), to display relevant advertisements for Pizza Ranch on other websites you may visit. These cookies track your browsing activity across multiple websites, which allows our partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads.
