Cookie Policy

Effective Date: May 1, 2026  |  Last Updated: May 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dions ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website dionspizzafood.rest (the "Site"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control or manage them.

By continuing to browse and use our Site, you acknowledge and consent to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies, please adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our Site.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. As a food business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and online transparency.

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 locally on your device and allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits. Cookies help websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide analytical information to website owners.

Cookies were created to help websites remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, items added to a shopping cart, or login information — so that your next visit can be easier and more personalized. They are a fundamental part of how modern websites operate.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit dionspizzafood.rest, our web server sends a small piece of data (the cookie) to your browser. Your browser stores this data as a small file. The next time you visit our Site, your browser sends that cookie back to the server. This exchange allows the server to recognize your device and remember your preferences, session information, or browsing behavior.

Cookies can be "session cookies," which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period of time — even after your browser session ends. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services that are embedded in or linked from the website (third-party cookies).

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web beacons (pixel tags): Tiny, transparent image files embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page was viewed or an email was opened.
  • Local storage: A browser-based data storage method that allows websites to store information locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater capacity.
  • Scripts: Pieces of JavaScript code that collect information about how you interact with our Site.

All of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies" throughout this policy for the sake of simplicity.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on dionspizzafood.rest. Each category serves a different purpose and is described in detail below.

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our Site. Without these cookies, certain features and services — such as navigating between pages, submitting forms, or placing an online order — would not function properly. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the Site.

Legal basis: These cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the proper technical functioning of our website and your ability to use our services.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This includes data about which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, where visitors come from, and any error messages encountered. We use this data to improve the structure, content, and performance of our Site.

We use Google Analytics to collect this type of data. Google Analytics uses cookies to identify unique visitors and track their sessions. The information collected is transmitted to Google and stored on their servers. For more information, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, your location, or items you have previously interacted with on our menu. These cookies improve your overall experience on our Site but are not strictly necessary for the site to function.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called marketing or targeting cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging for individual users. These cookies track your browsing habits across websites and build a profile of your interests to display relevant ads on our Site and on third-party platforms. They are typically placed by third-party advertising networks, including Google Ads and social media platforms.

These cookies also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They may be used to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and to help us track the performance of our marketing activities.
