Welcome to Dewey's Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy applies to the website deweyspizzas.click (the "Website") and describes how Dewey's Pizza ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our Website.

By continuing to use our Website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you can adjust your browser settings or opt out using the methods described below. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Website.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Our practices are governed by applicable United States 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 websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to collect information about how visitors interact with a website.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device across different pages of the same visit or across multiple visits over time. They store a small amount of data which can be read by the web server that placed the cookie. Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, although personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information contained in cookies.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit deweyspizzas.click for the first time, our server sends a cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our Website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences or activity.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Both types may be used on our Website.

2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your visit to our Website. They are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. Session cookies help us understand how you navigate through the Website during a single visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a period of time defined in the cookie itself. They allow us to recognize you when you return to our Website and remember your preferences or settings.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Dewey's Pizza uses the following categories of cookies on our Website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for our Website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Without these cookies, certain services or features of our Website would not be available to you. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable law, although we aim to be transparent about their use.

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 Website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our Website and will not be able to monitor its performance.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect and analyze information about how visitors use our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data including your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and other usage information.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable our Website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies allow us to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) and provide improved, more personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We use Google Ads and related advertising technologies that place cookies to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show you relevant Dewey's Pizza ads on other websites and platforms.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location within the United States, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information collected through cookies. If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you specific rights including:

  • The right to know what personal information is collected about you
  • The right to delete personal information collected from you
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information
  • The right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information

Some of the advertising cookies used on our Website may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA. California residents may opt out of such sharing by using the opt-out tools listed above or by contacting us directly using the contact information below.

Regardless of your location, our practices are governed by the FTC Act, and we are committed to fair and transparent data practices that comply with applicable federal consumer protection laws.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you may use the cookie management tools described in this policy to limit tracking on our Website.
