Welcome to Pizza Ranch's Cookie Policy. Pizza Ranch ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at ranchpizza.digital (the "Website"). This Cookie Policy is designed to provide you with clear and transparent information about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Website.

By continuing to use our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your experience on our Website is transparent and informed. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

This Cookie Policy complies with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on online tracking and consumer protection.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. These files are stored in your web browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember information or to record your browsing activity. They serve many functions — from simply remembering your language preferences to enabling targeted advertising across the internet.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit ranchpizza.digital, our server sends a small text file (a cookie) to your browser. Your browser stores this file on your device. The next time you visit our Website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing the Website to recognize you and recall your previous interactions.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

• The name of the cookie
• The domain it belongs to (e.g., ranchpizza.digital)
• An expiration date (when the cookie will be deleted)
• A unique identifier (a random string of numbers and letters)
• Any stored data or values associated with the cookie

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

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

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies help our Website function properly during a single visit.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (defined by an expiration date), even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

2.3 Types of Cookies by Origin

• First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Pizza Ranch (via ranchpizza.digital) when you visit our Website.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by third-party services (such as Google Analytics or advertising networks) that we use on our Website. These third parties may collect data about your online activities across different websites.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our Website:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also called strictly necessary cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our Website. Without these cookies, our Website cannot function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. These cookies do not collect any information that could be used for marketing or to track your browsing activity on other websites.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function, they cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools. However, you may disable them through your browser settings, but please note that doing so may significantly impair your ability to use our Website.

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 and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our Website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

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 allow the Website to remember your preferences and choices (such as your preferred language, region, or menu preferences at Pizza Ranch) to provide a more personalized experience.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our Website may be less personalized.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing 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 advertising networks, such as Google Ads, with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions from our advertising campaigns and to serve relevant ads to visitors who have shown interest in our Pizza Ranch services. Under California law (CCPA/CPRA), the sharing of data through advertising cookies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. California residents have the right to opt out of such sharing.

Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our Website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.
