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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide information to website owners.

When you visit pizzaranch-eat.top, our server may send a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.
