Welcome to Pizza Ranch ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). We operate the website located at ranchpizzameal.rest (the "Website"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, your rights and choices regarding cookies, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, use, and protect your information. By using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

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 the website — or third parties — to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.
Cookies serve many purposes. Some cookies are essential for a website to function properly, while others help us improve your experience, analyze how visitors interact with our site, or deliver relevant advertising content. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information by themselves, but when combined with other data we hold about you, they may be used to identify you.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit ranchpizzameal.rest, our server sends a cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file and sends it back to our server on your next visit. This process allows our Website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or activity from previous visits.
Cookies are categorized by their lifespan and origin:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.
- First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by our Website (ranchpizzameal.rest) and are only accessible to us.
- Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by external services or partners (such as Google or Facebook) that we have integrated into our Website.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.

Throughout this policy, all references to "cookies" also apply to these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise stated.
