1. Introduction

Welcome to deweysdelivery.rest, 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, how we use them on our website, what choices you have regarding their use, and how cookies may affect your experience when visiting our site.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website. By continuing to browse or use our website at deweysdelivery.rest, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions about this policy or our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.

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 websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information.

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

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, such as 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 Cookies Work

When you visit deweysdelivery.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device's hard drive. The next time you visit our website, your browser reads the cookie and sends the stored information back to our server. This process allows us to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you interact with our website.

Cookies are generally very small files that take up minimal storage space on your device. They cannot execute programs, deliver viruses, or access any personal information stored on your hard drive beyond what is encoded in the cookie itself.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies can be categorized by 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 maintain a session while you browse our website, such as keeping items in your pizza order cart.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for your next visit.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on our website. Each type serves a specific purpose, as described below:

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

3.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

For example, these cookies can remember your preferred location, your name when you return to the website, or the toppings you frequently order. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Examples of what functional cookies enable on deweysdelivery.rest:
