This policy applies to all pages, features, and services available through our website at pizzas-mods.rest. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.

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. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember your preferences and actions over time.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Mod Pizza) 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, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.
