1. Introduction

Welcome to Dewey's Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate the website deweyspizzas.rest and are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use to improve your experience on our site. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By using our website, you agree to the placement of cookies on your device in accordance with the terms of this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

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 provide a better and more personalized browsing experience, and to collect information about how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies are created when your browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser, which then creates a text file on your device. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server. Standard cookies are widely used and do not pose any security risk to your device.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit deweyspizzas.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a small file. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

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 set period of time or until you manually delete them.

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Dewey's Pizza (the website you are visiting). These cookies are generally used to make the website function properly and to remember your preferences.

Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting — for example, by our analytics or advertising partners such as Google or Facebook. These third-party cookies allow these external parties to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Dewey's Pizza uses cookies for a variety of important reasons, including:

  • To ensure the website functions correctly and securely.
  • To remember your preferences and settings so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit.
  • To understand how visitors use our website and to improve website performance.
  • To deliver relevant advertising and promotional content to you, including special offers on our pizzas and menu items.
  • To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
  • To provide social media features and integrations.
  • To fulfill our online ordering functionality, including cart and checkout processes.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on deweyspizzas.rest into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising. Each category is described in detail below.

Without these cookies, certain features of our website — such as our online ordering system, shopping cart, and secure checkout — cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Legal basis: These cookies are deployed on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing you with a functioning and secure website, as recognized under applicable U.S. consumer protection standards, including the FTC Act.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language, or previously viewed menu items) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you disable these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

4.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve the structure, content, and user experience of our website. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics tool.

4.4 Advertising & Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 help 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 may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads and may use Facebook Pixel and similar technologies to serve targeted advertisements to our visitors and to track conversions from our marketing campaigns.
