Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 10, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dewey's Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, how we use them, and how you can control and manage your cookie preferences when visiting our website at deweys-pizza.click.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide further information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using our website, you acknowledge and agree to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this policy, 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 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 efficiently, improve user experience, and 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 features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies," meaning they exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies are "persistent cookies," meaning they survive after your browser is closed and remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit our website, 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 or navigate between pages, your browser reads the cookie and sends the information back to the web server. This process allows the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address if you have provided this to us), though this information can only be stored with your consent. It is important to note that websites cannot access information from cookies set by other websites.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images or pieces of code embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action.
  • Local Storage: A type of web storage that allows websites to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but with a larger storage capacity.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is only stored for the duration of your browser session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Scripts that collect information about how you interact with our website.

For the purposes of this policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly, and we do not need your consent to use them.

Essential cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of our website may not work as intended if you do so.

3.2 Analytical / Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, see how visitors move around our website, and identify any errors users encounter. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable our 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. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or other customized settings, to provide a more personalized experience.

3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, but you will still see advertisements — they just may not be relevant to your interests.

7. Your Rights Under Applicable Law

As a resident of the United States, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data and the use of cookies, depending on your state of residence:

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT signals. However, we respect your privacy preferences and encourage you to use our cookie management tools to control the data collected about you.
