Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 24, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dewey's Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use on our website (deweysdining.click), why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect and process your personal data. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our website.

For any questions or concerns about this Cookie Policy, you may contact us at:

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 provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner — in this case, Dewey's Pizza — are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you first visit our website, a cookie is downloaded onto your device. The next time you visit our site using the same device, the browser checks if there is a matching cookie and sends the information contained in that cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize you as a returning visitor, remember your preferences, and provide a more tailored experience.

Cookies contain a range of information, including:

  • The name of the server the cookie was sent from
  • The lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain active on your device)
  • A randomly generated unique number or value

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

Cookies can be categorized based on how long they remain on your device:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to track your movements from page to page so you are not asked for information you have already provided during a visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on deweysdining.click. Each category serves a specific purpose as outlined below:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, or completing online orders — cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

Essential cookies enable core functionality such as:

  • Keeping you logged in during your session
  • Maintaining items in your shopping cart or order form
  • Ensuring the security of your connection
  • Remembering your cookie consent preferences

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled without severely impacting the performance and functionality of our site.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where visitors come from. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, these cookies may be used to remember your location for delivery purposes or your preferred menu items. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers. These are typically third-party cookies placed by our advertising partners.

However, you can use the cookie management tools described in this section to control tracking.
