This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our website at dionspizza.top. We operate in the United States and comply with applicable federal and state privacy 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 guidelines on consumer protection and online privacy.

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 more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the browser of the device you are using. The browser then stores the cookie as a small text file. When you return to that website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visit.

Cookies perform a variety of functions:

  • Authentication: Cookies help identify you when you log into a website, so you do not have to re-enter your credentials every time you navigate to a new page.
  • Remembering Preferences: Cookies can remember your settings and preferences, such as language, font size, or layout, so you do not have to re-configure them on every visit.
  • Analytics and Performance: Cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with their site, which pages are most popular, and where users experience difficulties.
  • Advertising: Cookies allow businesses to deliver relevant advertisements to users based on their browsing history and interests.

2.1 Types of Cookies by Origin

Cookies can be categorized based on who sets them:

  • First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by Dions when you visit dionspizza.top. They are used to remember your preferences and enhance your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

  • Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device once you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while browsing our website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are reactivated each time you visit the website that created them.

3. How We Use Cookies

At Dions, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes to improve your experience on our website and to help us provide you with the best possible service. Our use of cookies falls into the following categories:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functionalities such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website may not function properly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of our services, you cannot opt out of them through our cookie management tools, although you can configure your browser to block them (though this may affect website functionality).

3.2 Analytics and 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 and see how visitors move around the site. 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 site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

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. These cookies may remember your preferences, such as your location, language, or previously viewed items, to provide you with a more personalized experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 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. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
