1. Introduction
Welcome to Pizza Ranch. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on piz-ranch.click, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or manage your cookie preferences.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website. By accessing or using piz-ranch.click, you agree to the placement of the cookies described in this document on your device, unless you choose to disable them through your browser or other available tools.
Pizza Ranch is a food service business operating in the United States.

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 operators to make websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to collect information about how visitors use their sites.
Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and are sent to your browser when you first visit a site. The browser stores this file, and the next time you visit the same website, the cookie is sent back to the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred settings or items in your shopping cart.
Cookies can be:
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They enable websites to remember your actions during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They enable websites to recognize you across multiple visits and remember your preferences over time.
- First-Party Cookies: Set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, piz-ranch.click).
- Third-Party Cookies: Set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, typically placed by third-party services such as analytics providers or advertising networks.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and scripts. These technologies work in conjunction with cookies to collect and store information about your browsing activities.
3. How We Use Cookies

4. Types of Cookies We Use
4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, certain core features of piz-ranch.click would not function properly. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your ability to use our website. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling out a form, or setting privacy preferences.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, they are placed on your device without requiring your consent under applicable law.

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, region, or previously entered information — and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4.4 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 are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. These cookies may track your browsing across various websites and build a profile of your interests.
