1. Introduction

Welcome to Dewey's Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing experience on our website, deweyspizza-eat.top. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or manage your cookie preferences.

By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you have the right to disable them through your browser settings or our opt-out tools — though please be aware this may affect the functionality and experience of our website.

We operate in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other relevant data protection regulations.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites to make them work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and help website owners understand how users interact with their content.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you revisit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember information about your previous visit — such as your preferences, login status, or items in your shopping cart.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but the data they collect can be linked to personal information we hold about you or that you provide to us directly.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

There are two main categories of cookies based on their origin:

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Dewey's Pizza (i.e., by deweyspizza-eat.top) when you visit our website. They are used to enhance your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by external organizations — such as Google, Facebook, or advertising networks — through content hosted on our website. We do not control these cookies and they are governed by the privacy policies of those third parties.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies can also be classified by how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session on the website (e.g., keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages).
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time after your browser is closed, or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or whether an email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device, persisting even after the browser is closed.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code embedded in our web pages that collect data and enable certain website functionalities.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device configuration to create a unique identifier.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, references to "cookies" include all of the above tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Dewey's Pizza uses the following categories of cookies on deweyspizza-eat.top:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential to the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take — such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling out forms, or placing an order. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website may not function properly without them.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are exempt from consent requirements under most applicable laws.

4.2 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, how visitors move around the site, and identify any errors or issues. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you choose to disable these cookies, we will not be able to monitor and improve the performance of our website.

We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze website usage data. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site, including your IP address (anonymized), browser type, referring pages, and time spent on the site.

4.3 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. Functional cookies allow us to remember your preferences — such as your location, language settings, or any customizations you have made — so that we can offer you a more personalized experience on your next visit.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and other digital advertising networks. They may be used by those companies 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, though you will still see ads — they simply will not be tailored to your interests.

Essential Cookies Core website functionality will be severely impaired. You may not be able to use our online ordering system, complete a purchase, maintain your session, or access certain pages of our website. We strongly advise against disabling these cookies.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect data about how you use our website.

8. Cookies and Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. Law

As a business operating in the United States, Dewey's Pizza is committed to upholding your privacy rights under applicable U.S. laws, including:

  • The Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act): The FTC requires that companies engaging in online data collection and advertising practices do so in a fair and non-deceptive manner. Our cookie practices are designed to be transparent and honest.
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding the collection and use of your personal information, including information collected via cookies. You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and to request deletion of your data. For more information, please refer to our full Privacy Policy.

Certain cookies, particularly advertising and analytics cookies, may involve the "sharing" of personal information with third parties such as Google or Meta. California residents may opt out of such sharing using the tools listed in Section 6.3 above, or by contacting us directly.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. However, you can use the cookie management tools described in Section 6 to limit tracking on our website.
