Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 10, 2026

1. 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 their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and deliver information to the owners of the website.

When you visit our website at pizza-deweys.top, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it as a small file on your device. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, though some personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are uniquely assigned to your device and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

1.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party services that provide content on the page (known as third-party cookies). First-party cookies are generally used to improve your experience on our website, while third-party cookies may be used for analytics, advertising, and social media functionality.

1.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to remember your actions during a single browsing session, such as items in your shopping cart or login status.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences across multiple visits.

2. How We Use Cookies

At Dewey's Pizza, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

• Enabling essential website features and secure areas
• Remembering your preferences, such as language settings or previously viewed menu items
• Understanding how visitors use our website so we can improve it
• Personalizing the content and advertisements you see online
• Measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• Facilitating online ordering and reservation systems
• Providing social media features and integration
• Preventing fraud and ensuring the security of our website

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising. Below, you will find a detailed description of each category.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are required for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as submitting an online order form or navigating between pages — cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes and do not remember where you have been on the internet.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our services, you cannot opt out of them without impacting how our website functions. Under applicable United States law, including the FTC Act and relevant state laws, we are permitted to set these cookies without your prior consent.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, these cookies may be used to remember your favorite pizza toppings or your preferred delivery address. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, which helps us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing cookies) are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They 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 advertising platforms. These cookies may be placed by us or by third-party advertising networks.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below provides detailed information about the specific cookies used on pizza-deweys.top, including their name, purpose, type, and duration.

Please note that this table may not represent a fully exhaustive list of all cookies. Third-party services may update or add cookies without prior notice to us. We will endeavor to keep this table updated as accurately as possible.

5. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): These are tiny graphic images (often invisible) embedded in web pages or emails. They allow us to track whether you have visited a specific page or opened an email, and they may work in conjunction with cookies.
• Local Storage: This is a feature of your web browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, data stored in local storage does not expire automatically and is not sent to the server with every request.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but session storage data is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
• JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of JavaScript code that are embedded on our site to collect data about how you interact with our web pages.

6. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for essential cookies which are required for the website to function). There are several ways you can manage your cookie preferences:

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. Please note that if you choose to block cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of our website, and the online ordering experience may be impaired.

6.2 Opt-Out Tools for Third-Party Services

You can also opt out of specific third-party cookies using the tools provided by those services:

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block cookies on our website, you may experience the following impacts:

7.1 Essential Cookies Disabled

If you disable essential cookies, significant portions of the Dewey's Pizza website may not function correctly. Specifically, you may experience:

• Inability to complete online food orders
• Failure to maintain a shopping cart as you browse the menu
• Inability to log in to any account or loyalty program
• Security vulnerabilities due to disabled CSRF protection
• Pages failing to load correctly or at all

7.2 Functional Cookies Disabled

Disabling functional cookies means that certain personalization features will not be available. You may experience:

• Loss of saved preferences each time you visit the website
• Inability for the website to remember your previous orders or favorite items
• Reduced personalization of the website experience

7.3 Analytics Cookies Disabled

Disabling analytics cookies will not directly affect your user experience on our website. However, it means that we will have less information available to improve the site for all our visitors. We use this data to:

• Identify and fix technical issues
• Improve the website navigation and structure
• Better understand what menu items and content are most popular

7.4 Advertising Cookies Disabled

If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements from Dewey's Pizza and our advertising partners, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly, and we will be less able to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

8. Your Rights Under United States Law

Depending on the state in which you reside, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information and the use of tracking technologies:

8.1 California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. These include the right to know what personal data is collected, the right to delete personal data, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data. Advertising cookies may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under California law. To exercise your California privacy rights, please contact us at [email protected].

8.2 Other State Privacy Laws

Various other U.S. states have enacted or are in the process of enacting privacy laws that may grant you similar rights regarding cookies and tracking technologies. We are committed to complying with all applicable state and federal privacy laws, including those enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the FTC Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive practices related to consumer data.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through cookies or any other means. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe we may have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].
