Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 9, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

When you visit dionspizzas.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own. However, any personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This helps us deliver a more personalized experience when you browse our website or order food online.

2. How Cookies Work

Cookies function through a simple request-response process between your browser and our web server:

• First Visit: When you first visit dionspizzas.digital, our server places one or more cookies on your device.
• Subsequent Visits: Each time your browser requests a page from our server, it automatically sends back any cookies set by our site, allowing us to recognize you.
• Session Cookies: Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies.
• Persistent Cookies: Other cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you manually delete them. These are known as persistent cookies.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms (third-party cookies).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without them, certain parts of our site — such as the online ordering system, shopping cart, and account login — would not work.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to measure and improve the performance of our website, identify popular menu items, and understand user behavior patterns to enhance your browsing experience.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior data. All this information is processed in a way that does not identify anyone personally.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your location, preferred delivery area, language, or font size) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have specifically requested, such as watching a video or live chat. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites.

Examples include cookies that:

• Remember your preferred delivery address or store location
• Save your food preferences and dietary settings
• Remember whether you have previously visited our site
• Personalize your experience based on your order history

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and may use other third-party advertising platforms to show you relevant promotions about our food and special offers, whether on our website or elsewhere on the internet.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

7.1 Essential Cookies Disabled

If you disable strictly necessary cookies, significant portions of our website will not function correctly. Specifically:

• You will not be able to add items to your online food cart or complete orders
• You will not be able to log into your account or maintain a session
• Online payment processing may not work correctly
• Basic website security features may be compromised

We strongly recommend that you keep essential cookies enabled to enjoy the full functionality of our online ordering system.

7.2 Analytics Cookies Disabled

If you disable analytics cookies, we will not be able to gather data on how you use our website. While this will not directly affect your browsing experience, it means:

• We cannot measure or improve website performance based on user behavior
• We lose the ability to identify and fix usability issues efficiently
• We cannot understand which menu items, promotions, or pages are most popular

7.3 Functional Cookies Disabled

Disabling functional cookies means our website will not remember your preferences between visits. This will result in:

• You needing to re-enter your delivery address each time you order
• Loss of personalized settings and saved preferences
• A less streamlined ordering experience overall

7.4 Advertising Cookies Disabled

If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will no longer be tailored to your interests or browsing behavior. Instead, you may see more generic ads that are less relevant to you. Disabling these cookies does not eliminate advertising — it only affects the personalization of the ads you see.

8. Cookie Consent

In accordance with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, and the FTC Act for general consumer protection, we provide you with the ability to manage your cookie preferences.

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to:

• Accept all cookies
• Reject non-essential cookies
• Customize your cookie preferences by category

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our site, or by contacting us directly at the details provided below.

For California residents: You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, including data collected through advertising cookies. Please contact us at [email protected] to exercise your rights under the CCPA/CPRA.

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals in a standardized way. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in this policy to limit tracking.

10. Children's Privacy and Cookies

Our website and online ordering services are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 through the use of cookies, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.
