We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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 owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to collect analytical information about how visitors use the site.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Cookies serve several important functions:

  • Authentication: Cookies help us identify you when you log into our website, so we can show you the right information.
  • Security: We use cookies to support security features and help detect malicious activity.
  • Preferences: Cookies allow our website to remember your preferences, such as your language setting or region.
  • Analytics: Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, so we can improve it.
  • Advertising: Cookies can be used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on our website. These can be categorized as follows:

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly 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, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are typically session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.

3.2 Functional Cookies

These 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. Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your username, language, or the region you are in, and provide enhanced, more personal features.

If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, and how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us analyze how users use ranchs-pizza.digital. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites.

  • Consent: For non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, and advertising cookies), we rely on your consent, which you provide when you accept cookies via our cookie consent banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Legitimate Interests: For essential cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest in ensuring the proper functioning of our website and providing you with the services you have requested.

For users located in California, you have the right under the CCPA/CPRA to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information, which may include certain cookie-based data sharing with third-party advertisers.

7.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser. Please refer to the instructions for your specific browser:

Additionally, you can manage your cookie settings across multiple browsers by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out page at https://optout.aboutads.info/.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please be aware that restricting or disabling cookies may have an impact on the functionality of our website. Depending on which cookies you disable, you may experience the following:

Cookie Type Impact if Disabled
Essential Cookies The website may not function properly. You may be unable to complete orders, use the shopping cart, or access secure areas of the website. Core functionality such as navigation and form submissions may be impaired.
Functional Cookies Your preferences and settings will not be saved between visits. You may need to re-enter your location, delivery preferences, or other settings each time you visit. Some personalized features may not be available.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to collect data about how you use our website, which means we may not be able to identify and fix issues or improve your experience based on real user behavior.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they may not be relevant to your interests. You may also see the same ads repeatedly. Our ability to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns will be limited.

We have made every effort to ensure that essential cookies are kept to the absolute minimum necessary for our website to function. Disabling only analytics, functional, or advertising cookies should not significantly impact your ability to browse our website and place orders.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals. As a result, like many websites, ranchs-pizza.digital does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can still use the opt-out mechanisms described in Section 7 above to control tracking on our website.

We will continue to monitor the development of DNT standards and update our practices accordingly as consensus emerges within the industry and regulatory community.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through cookies or any other means. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the address below, and we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. If we make material changes, we may also notify you by displaying a prominent notice on our website or by other means as appropriate.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. Your continued use of ranchs-pizza.digital following any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
