Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 20, 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 is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on deweyspizzas.top, and how you can control and manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in connection with your use of our website and services. Together, these documents reflect our commitment to respecting your privacy and maintaining transparency in our data practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this document.

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. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to website operators.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, items in a shopping cart, or other preferences. This means you do not have to re-enter information every time you visit a site or navigate between pages.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party organizations such as analytics providers or advertisers (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types may be used on our website.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit deweyspizzas.top, our web server sends a small cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website or navigate to a new page on our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor and tailor the experience accordingly.

Cookies contain information such as a unique identifier, the domain name of the website that set the cookie, an expiration date (for persistent cookies), and any data that was stored in the cookie. Cookies themselves do not contain viruses or harmful software and cannot access other information on your device.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies such as:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been visited or an email has been opened.
• Local Storage: A feature of modern web browsers that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond what standard cookies permit.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when your browser session ends.
• Scripts: Pieces of JavaScript code that are loaded when you visit a page and can collect information about your browsing behavior.

References to "cookies" throughout this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on our website. Understanding these categories will help you make informed decisions about your cookie preferences.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also called strictly necessary cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly, and core services such as placing an online order or accessing secure areas of our site would not be possible. These cookies do not collect information about you that could be used for marketing or tracking your browsing activity on the internet.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they do not require your consent under applicable privacy laws. However, you can still block them through your browser settings, though this may affect website functionality significantly.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced features and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred location, language, or saved order preferences, to provide a more personalized experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve how our website works, identify popular pages, understand traffic sources, and optimize our content and services. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics platform, which uses cookies to collect data about your browsing behavior on our site.

The information collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify individual users. However, it does include details such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referral sources.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing 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 to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. These cookies can track your browser across other sites and build a profile of your interests.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The following table provides detailed information about the specific cookies used on deweyspizzas.top:

Note: The above list represents cookies that may be present on our website. The actual cookies loaded on a given page visit may vary depending on the features and services you interact with.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

As a business operating in the United States, our use of cookies is governed by applicable U.S. federal and state privacy laws, including but not limited to:

• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): California residents have specific rights regarding the collection and use of personal information, including data collected through cookies.

• Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

For essential cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website. For analytics, functional, and advertising cookies, we rely on your consent, which you provide either by accepting cookies when prompted or by continuing to use our website after receiving notice of our cookie practices.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to manage and disable cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on our website in the following ways:

• Disabling Advertising Cookies: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads more frequently, and we will be less able to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

8. Third-Party Cookies and Links

Our website may include features and content from third-party services (such as social media plugins, embedded maps, or payment processors) that may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control these third-party cookies and they are governed by the respective third parties' privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website.

Third-party services that may set cookies on our website include:

• Google (Analytics, Ads, Maps)
• Facebook / Meta (Social plugins, Pixel)
• Payment processing services
• Customer review platforms
• Online ordering integrations

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, and our website does not alter its behavior in response to a DNT signal. However, you may use the opt-out tools and browser settings described above to limit tracking on our website.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through cookies on our website, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.

If we make material changes to this Cookie Policy, we may notify you through a prominent notice on our website or by other means, such as email, where appropriate and where we hold your contact information.

Your continued use of our website after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
