Last Updated: June 24, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dewey's Pizza. 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 place on your device, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to the website deweysdining.rest and all services offered through it, including online ordering, menu browsing, promotions, and customer account features. Please read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to fully understand how we handle your data.

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

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites to make them work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.

When you visit deweysdining.rest, our server may send a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they may be linked to personal data we hold about you if, for example, you have created an account or placed an order with us.

2.1 How Cookies Work

Each cookie contains a small amount of data, which typically includes:

• The name of the cookie
• The value of the cookie (a unique identifier or stored preference)
• The domain that set the cookie
• An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
• Flags that indicate whether the cookie is secure or accessible only via HTTP

Cookies are set either by the website you are visiting directly (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded on the website (third-party cookies), such as analytics platforms or advertising networks.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email open rates.
• Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store larger amounts of data locally on your device.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but limited to a single browsing session and cleared when the browser tab is closed.
• Device Fingerprinting: A technique used to identify devices based on their configuration, browser settings, and other attributes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Dewey's Pizza uses four main categories of cookies on our website. Understanding these categories will help you make informed decisions about your cookie preferences.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and services such as online ordering, account login, and cart management would not be possible.

Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable laws because they are strictly necessary to provide the service you have requested. They do not collect information that could be used for marketing purposes.

Examples of what essential cookies enable include:

• Maintaining your session while you navigate between pages
• Remembering items in your shopping cart or order basket
• Authentication and login security
• Load balancing to ensure website performance
• Fraud detection and prevention

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about the pages you visit, the links you click, how long you spend on each page, and any errors you encounter. This information is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify you as an individual.

We use this data to improve the structure, content, and performance of deweysdining.rest. For example, if analytics data shows that many users abandon their order at a particular step, we can investigate and improve that part of our ordering process.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to track visitor interactions. The data collected is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers, which may be located in the United States.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred location, language settings, or delivery address so you do not have to re-enter information on every visit.

These cookies are not strictly necessary but significantly enhance your experience on our website. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They track your browsing activity across websites and help advertisers and ad networks build a profile of your interests so they can show you more relevant ads on other websites you visit.

We work with advertising partners such as Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) to serve targeted advertisements. These third-party cookies are set by our advertising partners and are subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies.

These cookies do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
