Last Updated: May 13, 2026

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-food.digital. 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 and Terms of Service, which together govern how we handle your personal information. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

As a business operating in the United States, we comply with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection and transparency in online tracking practices.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to supply information to the owners of the site.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website you are visiting and are delivered to your browser. Your browser stores these files and sends them back to the same server on subsequent visits. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, any personal information that we store about you may be linked to information obtained from cookies. Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are entirely passive and can only be read by the server that created them.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit deweyspizza-food.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. The browser stores the cookie locally on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and customize your experience accordingly.

Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser (known as "session cookies"), while others remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them manually (known as "persistent cookies"). Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics providers or advertisers ("third-party cookies").

3. Types of Cookies We Use

At Dewey's Pizza, we use several categories of cookies, each serving a distinct purpose. Below is a detailed explanation of each type:

3.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also known as strictly necessary cookies) are required for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our website would not work properly, and you would not be able to use our services effectively.

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 performance of our website. The information collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, to collect information about website usage. Google Analytics uses cookies to track user behavior, including pages visited, time spent on each page, and how users arrived at our website. This information helps us make data-driven decisions to improve your online experience with Dewey's Pizza.

3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called targeting or marketing cookies) are used to track your browsing habits so that we can deliver advertising that is more relevant to your interests. 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 websites.

We may use Google Ads and similar platforms to serve targeted advertisements based on your prior visits to our website. These cookies do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

  • Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook) — for social media integration and targeted advertising

Each of these third parties has their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they collect and use data. We encourage you to review their respective policies for more information.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to restrict or disable cookies, doing so may impact your experience on our website. Below is a summary of what may be affected depending on which cookies you disable:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Core website functions will not work correctly. You may be unable to complete online orders, log in to your account, or access certain secured pages of the website. We strongly recommend keeping these cookies enabled.
Functional Cookies Personalized features will not be available. Your preferences (such as saved delivery addresses, preferred location, and language settings) will not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter information each time.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to collect data about how you use our website. This limits our ability to identify performance issues and improve the user experience. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected, but our ability to serve you better over time may be reduced.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your interests. You may see ads that are less relevant to you. Disabling these cookies does not reduce the number of ads you see — only their relevance.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not want to 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 alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals. However, we encourage you to use the opt-out tools and browser settings described above to manage your cookie preferences.

9. California Residents — Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Cookies that collect personal information may be subject to these rights, which include:

  • The right to know what personal information is collected, disclosed, sold, or shared
  • The right to delete personal information collected about you
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information
  • The right to limit the use of sensitive personal information
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in Section 11 of this Cookie Policy. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.

Please note that certain cookie data may constitute "personal information" under the CCPA/CPRA if it can be used to identify, relate to, describe, or be associated with a particular consumer or household. By sharing data with advertising partners, we may be considered to be "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out of such sharing.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our operations, or for any other reason we consider appropriate. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
