Last Updated: June 4, 2026

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, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy applies to all users who visit ranchpizzameal.click and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Pizza Ranch operates in the United States and complies with applicable federal and state privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), as well as guidance from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding online tracking and consumer protection.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

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. 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, or items added to a shopping cart.

Cookies were designed to make browsing more efficient and personalized. They enable websites to function properly, remember user preferences, and provide website owners with valuable data about how their site is used. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, when combined with other data, they may be used to identify you.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit ranchpizzameal.click, our server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back to our server each time you make a request. This allows us to recognize your browser across multiple visits and personalize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party services that provide features on that website (known as third-party cookies). For example, when you visit our website, Google Analytics may set its own cookies on your device to collect information about your browsing behavior.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page was accessed or an email was opened.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond the standard cookie mechanism.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A method of identifying devices based on browser and device characteristics, sometimes used as an alternative to cookies.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Pizza Ranch uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and we outline them in detail below.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies, also known as strictly necessary cookies, are required for the fundamental operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our site would not function properly, and you would not be able to use core services such as placing an order, accessing secure areas, or navigating through the site. These cookies do not collect information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled without affecting the core functionality of the website.

Examples of what essential cookies enable:

  • Maintaining your session while you browse the website
  • Remembering items you have added to your order
  • Ensuring secure transmission of data during checkout
  • Enabling basic site security features and fraud prevention

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit most frequently, the duration of each visit, and how users arrive at our site. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify individual users. We use this information to improve the performance and content of our website.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior data. The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, location, or display settings. These cookies are not essential to the operation of the website but help us provide a more tailored experience for our customers.

Examples of what functional cookies enable:

  • Remembering your preferred location or delivery address
  • Storing your menu preferences or dietary requirements
  • Enabling social media sharing features
  • Remembering whether you have dismissed certain notices or pop-ups

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies, also referred to as marketing or targeting cookies, are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. These cookies track your browsing activity across different websites and build a profile of your interests. This profile is then used to display targeted advertisements on our website and on third-party websites.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to run targeted campaigns. These platforms place cookies on your device to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising efforts and to ensure that you see relevant promotional content.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information, which may include data collected by advertising cookies. Please see Section 6 for instructions on how to exercise this right.
