Cookie Policy

Effective Date: March 29, 2026  |  Last Updated: March 29, 2026

1. Who We Are

This Cookie Policy applies to the website deweyspizza.top, operated by Dewey's Pizza. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us using the details below:

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, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to collect information about how visitors interact with web content.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie locally, and the next time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server so it can recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you by name. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. 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 providers or advertising networks ("third-party cookies").

3. How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit deweyspizza.top, our web server sends a cookie file to your browser. The browser stores this file and returns it on your next visit. Cookies serve several important functions:

  • Session management: Keeping you logged in, remembering items in your cart, and maintaining your session as you navigate between pages.
  • Personalization: Remembering your preferences such as language, location, and display settings.
  • Tracking and analytics: Collecting information about how you use our website — which pages you visit, how long you stay, and where you came from — so we can improve the site.
  • Advertising: Helping us show you relevant advertisements, both on our website and on other platforms.

Cookies have a defined lifespan. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (for example, 30 days, 1 year, or 2 years) or until you delete them manually.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Dewey's Pizza uses several categories of cookies on our website. Below, we explain each type and its purpose.

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function properly. Without them, you would not be able to navigate the site or use key features such as placing an order, accessing secure areas, or completing a purchase. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences tool. You may be able to disable them through your browser settings, but doing so may prevent the website from working correctly.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to measure website performance, identify popular pages, understand how users navigate through the site, and find areas for improvement. These cookies do not directly identify you as an individual.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language, or font size) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post. These cookies can be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use on our pages.

4.4 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. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. These are often linked to site functionality provided by these third-party organizations.

6. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to cookies set directly by Dewey's Pizza, we allow certain third-party services to place cookies on your device when you visit our website. These third parties include, but are not limited to:

  • Google LLC — for analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google Ads, Google AdSense). Google is based in the United States and processes data under its own Privacy Policy.
  • Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook) — for advertising and remarketing through the Facebook Pixel. Meta may use data collected through these cookies to show you relevant ads on the Facebook and Instagram platforms.
  • Google Tag Manager — a tag management system that allows us to manage and deploy marketing and analytics tags without modifying our website's code directly.

We do not have access to or control over cookies placed by these third parties. These companies have their own privacy and cookie policies. We strongly encourage you to review their policies before continuing to use our website if you have concerns.

7. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the site to function). There are several ways you can manage cookie preferences:

7.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Settings," or "Privacy" menu of your browser. Here are direct links to cookie management instructions for the most popular browsers:

7.2 Opt-Out Tools Provided by Third Parties

You can also opt out of specific third-party cookies directly through the tools provided by those companies:

  • Google Analytics: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Google Ads / Personalized Advertising: Visit Google Ads Settings to control your advertising preferences and opt out of personalized ads.
  • Facebook / Meta: You can manage your ad preferences and opt out of interest-based advertising through Facebook Ad Settings.
  • Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): Use the NAI Opt-Out Tool to opt out of interest-based advertising from NAI member companies.
  • Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): Use the DAA WebChoices Tool to opt out of interest-based advertising in the United States.

7.3 Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our website does not currently change its behavior in response to a DNT signal. We will update this policy if and when a standardized response is established.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or reject certain cookies, please be aware that some parts of our website may not function as intended. Specifically:

  • Essential cookies disabled: You may not be able to place orders online, use the shopping cart, or access secure sections of the website. Core navigation may also be affected.
  • Analytics cookies disabled: We will not be able to track how you use our website or measure site performance. This affects our ability to improve user experience but does not limit your access to the site.
  • Functional cookies disabled: Your saved preferences (such as your location, preferred menu, or display settings) will not be remembered between visits, requiring you to re-enter them each time.
  • Advertising cookies disabled: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads more frequently as they will not be frequency-capped to your profile.

9. Your Rights Under Applicable Law

As a website operating in the United States and serving customers in various states, Dewey's Pizza is committed to complying with applicable privacy and data protection laws. Relevant laws that may apply to your use of cookies on our website include:

  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA): If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request deletion of your personal information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. Cookies used for advertising may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA. You may submit a request by contacting us at [email protected].
  • Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act: The FTC governs unfair or deceptive practices, including those related to data collection and online tracking. We are committed to transparent and honest disclosure of our cookie practices in accordance with FTC guidance.

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, or if you have any questions about how your data is processed through cookies, please contact us directly.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children through cookies or any other means. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete that information.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
