1. Introduction

Welcome to Dewey's Pizza ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). We operate the website located at deweyspizza.digital (the "Website"). This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, why we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our Website. By accessing or using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may disable them through your browser settings or by using the opt-out tools described below, though this may affect your experience on our Website.

As a business operating in the United States, our practices are guided by applicable federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), and where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

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, provide a better user experience, and generate reports on how the site is being used.

Cookies are set by the website you visit (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that are active on the page you are visiting (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies can be either "session cookies," which are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

Beyond traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:

Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether you have viewed a page or email.
Local Storage Objects: Data stored locally in your browser that functions similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data.
JavaScript Tags: Code snippets embedded in our Website that collect data about your browsing behavior.
Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to identify your device.

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

3. Why Do We Use Cookies?

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

To ensure that our Website functions properly and efficiently.
To remember your preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.
To understand how visitors interact with our Website, helping us improve our content and services.
To show you relevant advertising about our pizza offerings, promotions, and deals.
To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
To enhance the security of our Website and protect against fraud.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on deweyspizza.digital into four main types:

4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our Website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our Website would not work, and you would not be able to use the site as intended. Essential cookies do not require your consent under most regulations because they are integral to the operation of the Website. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms, setting your privacy preferences, or logging into secure areas of our Website.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether any errors are encountered. This data helps us understand how our Website is performing and allows us to make improvements. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify individual visitors.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our Website to provide enhanced features and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not work properly. For example, functional cookies may remember the region you are in so that we can show you the nearest Dewey's Pizza location, or remember your preferred language or accessibility settings.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and meaningful 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. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. These cookies remember that you have visited our Website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
