1. Introduction

Welcome to deweys-pizzas.click, the official website of Dewey's Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control or disable them.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in accordance with applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act governing consumer protection practices.

By continuing to browse and use our website at deweys-pizzas.click, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies, please refer to Section 7 of this policy for instructions on how to manage or disable them.

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 and operators to make websites work more efficiently, provide better user experiences, and gather information about how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies are stored in your browser's designated folder on your device. Each cookie contains specific information such as the name of the website that placed it, a unique identifier, and an expiration date. When you revisit a website, your browser sends back the cookie data to the website's server, allowing it to recognize you and remember your preferences.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

Here is a simplified breakdown of how cookies function:

  1. You visit deweys-pizzas.click for the first time.
  2. Our web server sends a cookie file to your browser.
  3. Your browser stores the cookie file on your device.
  4. On subsequent visits, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server.
  5. Our server reads the cookie and recognizes you, allowing it to personalize your experience or track analytical data.

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be categorized based on who places them:

  • First-party cookies are set directly by Dewey's Pizza when you visit deweys-pizzas.click. These cookies are primarily used to ensure the website functions properly and to remember your preferences.
  • Third-party cookies are set by external organizations and service providers — such as Google Analytics or advertising networks — when their code is embedded in our website. These third parties may collect data about your browsing habits across multiple websites.

2.3 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you are actively using the website.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Dewey's Pizza uses four primary categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, as described below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functioning of our website. Without them, certain features — such as navigating between pages, filling out forms, or placing an online order — would not work. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you may be able to block them through your browser settings, though doing so may significantly impact your ability to use our site.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to measure traffic, identify which pages are most popular, track how users move through the site, and detect any errors that may occur. The information gathered by analytics cookies helps us continually improve the performance and usability of deweys-pizzas.click.

We use Google Analytics to collect this data. Google Analytics uses cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _gat to track and report website activity. The data collected is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

3.3 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 language, your location, or your previously selected menu items. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or using social sharing tools. The information these cookies collect is typically anonymized and cannot be used to track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 ad and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Advertising cookies are typically placed by advertising networks such as Google Ads with the permission of Dewey's Pizza. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use the Google Ads conversion tracking cookie (_gcl_au) to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on Google's network.

We use services provided by Google LLC, including Google Analytics and Google Ads. Google may use the cookies described in Section 4 to collect information about your activity on our website and potentially across other websites. This data is used to provide analytics reports to Dewey's Pizza and to serve relevant advertisements across Google's advertising network.

Facebook may use this data in accordance with its own data policy.

5.3 Google Tag Manager

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Dewey's Pizza operates primarily in the United States. Our cookie practices are governed by applicable U.S. law, including:

  • The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) — which may be relevant to the interception of electronic communications.

We rely on your informed use of our website and your ability to manage your preferences through your browser and available opt-out tools as the basis for deploying non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are deployed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional website.

California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information, as defined by the CCPA/CPRA. If you believe that the use of advertising or analytics cookies constitutes a sale or sharing of your personal data, you may exercise your opt-out rights by contacting us using the details in Section 9 or by adjusting your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
