Last Updated: July 5, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dewey's Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we place on your device, and how you can control or delete them.

This policy applies to all pages and services available through our website located at deweyscafe.rest. Please read this Cookie Policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect and process your personal data.

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

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to collect analytical information about how the site is being used.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored for a set period of time. Every time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you, but personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

There are two main types of cookies based on their origin:

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set directly by Dewey's Pizza (i.e., by the domain deweyscafe.rest). They are used to remember your preferences and improve your experience on our site.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than our website, typically by our trusted partners such as Google, Facebook, or other analytics and advertising providers. These companies may use cookies to track your browsing activity across multiple websites.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

• Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are typically used to manage your activity during a single visit to our website.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you delete them manually. They allow us to recognize you when you return to our website and remember your preferences.

3. How We Use Cookies

Dewey's Pizza uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

• Ensuring the website functions correctly and securely.
• Remembering your preferences, such as your language or region settings.
• Keeping you logged in to your account (if applicable) during your session.
• Analyzing how visitors interact with our website so we can improve performance and content.
• Delivering relevant advertising and measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
• Enabling social media features and integrations.
• Preventing fraudulent activity and ensuring the security of our online services.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into the following types:

4.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. Without them, certain services or features you have requested — such as placing an online order, navigating between pages, or accessing secure areas — cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, they do not require your consent under applicable law, including the FTC Act and applicable U.S. state privacy regulations.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages. This information is aggregated and therefore anonymous — it does not identify individual visitors. We use this data to improve the way our website works and to understand how our users interact with our content.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to help analyze how our website is used. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your location, language preferences, or customization options) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

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 advertisement, as well as to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization.

We may use Google Ads, Meta (Facebook) Pixel, and similar advertising services on our website. These services use cookies and similar technologies to track conversions and deliver targeted advertisements.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please be aware that restricting or disabling cookies may impact your experience on our website. The specific impacts depend on which types of cookies you choose to disable:

8.1 Disabling Essential Cookies

8.2 Disabling Analytics Cookies

If you disable analytics cookies, we will not be able to monitor the performance of our website or understand how visitors interact with our content. While this will not affect your ability to use the website, it may limit our ability to improve our services and user experience over time.

8.3 Disabling Functional Cookies

Disabling functional cookies means that some personalization features may not work correctly. For example, we may not be able to remember your location or delivery preferences, and you may need to re-enter information each time you visit our website.

8.4 Disabling Advertising Cookies

If you disable advertising cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see ads for products or services that are less relevant to you. Disabling these cookies will not reduce the total number of ads you see, but the ads you see may be less targeted.

9. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently alter its behavior or data collection practices in response to DNT signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools listed in Section 7.3 to limit certain types of tracking.

10. Children's Privacy and Cookies

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13.
