Last Updated: April 4, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to pizza-deweys.click, the official website of Dewey's Pizza. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand how and why we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

As a food service business operating in the United States, we are committed to complying with applicable privacy and data protection laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experiences, and to provide information to website owners and operators.

Cookies serve a variety of purposes. Some cookies are essential for the technical operation of a website — without them, certain features simply would not function. Others are used to remember your preferences, analyze how you interact with a website, or deliver targeted advertising based on your browsing behavior.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

  • The name of the cookie
  • The domain that set the cookie (either the website you're visiting or a third party)
  • The expiration date of the cookie
  • A unique identifier or value associated with the cookie

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pizza-deweys.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, which allows us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or previous interactions.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics platforms or advertising networks (known as third-party cookies).

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and email open rates.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device beyond what cookies can hold.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when your browser session ends.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device settings and configurations to identify your device across sessions.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on pizza-deweys.click into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising cookies. Each type serves a specific purpose, and we explain each one below.

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies enable core website functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic security features. They do not collect personally identifiable information and are not used to track your browsing activities across other websites. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate, they are activated automatically when you visit our site and do not require your consent.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our website:

  • Maintain your session as you navigate between pages
  • Remember items you have added to your order cart
  • Ensure the website displays correctly on your device
  • Protect the website from fraudulent activity and cross-site request forgery

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred location for order pickup, your language preferences, or whether you have previously viewed a particular notice or promotion.

These cookies are not essential to the basic operation of the website, but they significantly improve your user experience. The information collected by functional cookies is typically anonymized and cannot be used to track your browsing on other websites.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us measure the effectiveness of our content, identify popular pages, track user flows through our site, and improve the overall performance and user experience of pizza-deweys.click.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data about your visits to our website, including which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and how you arrived at our website. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google may use this data in accordance with its own Privacy Policy. For more information about how Google uses data from analytics cookies, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies (also known as targeting or marketing cookies) are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These cookies are placed by third-party advertising networks, including Google Ads and potentially other advertising partners, and they track your browsing habits across multiple websites. This allows our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and display relevant ads on other websites you visit.

Please note that we do not control third-party advertising cookies directly. If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising, please refer to Section 6 of this policy.
