Last Updated: May 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 pizzadeweys-eat.rest, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website or use our online food ordering services.

We encourage you to read this Cookie Policy carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

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

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Dewey's Pizza) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server. This process allows us to recognize you, remember your preferences, and provide you with a personalized and seamless experience.

Cookies can be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time (or until you delete them manually) even after you close your browser.

2.2 Similar Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images or code embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and website visits.
  • Local Storage: A type of web storage that allows websites to store data locally within your browser without an expiration date.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when the page session ends.
  • JavaScript Tags: Pieces of JavaScript code that collect information about how you interact with our website.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all references to "cookies" include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, your delivery location, or items you have added to your cart) and to provide enhanced, more personal features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
