Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 26, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dions, your trusted food destination. 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, what types of cookies we deploy on pizzdion.digital, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website, regardless of how you access it — whether via desktop, mobile device, or tablet. We encourage you to read this document carefully and contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Our use of cookies is governed by applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act regarding consumer protection and fair business practices.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide reporting information to site owners.

When you visit pizzdion.digital, our server may send a cookie to your browser, which then stores it on your device. On your next visit, the browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences. 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 can be categorized in two main ways:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate through the website.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and scripts. References to "cookies" in this policy include all such similar technologies unless otherwise stated.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Dions uses cookies for a variety of purposes, all aimed at improving your experience on our website and helping us deliver better food-related services. Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Ensure our website functions correctly and securely
  • Remember your preferences and settings (such as language or location)
  • Understand how visitors interact with our website (analytics)
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Deliver relevant advertisements to you on our site and on third-party platforms
  • Prevent fraud and improve the security of our platform
  • Enable social media sharing and integrations

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on pizzdion.digital into the following types:

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without them, services you have requested — such as placing a food order or accessing secure areas of the site — cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our cookie consent tools. However, you can still block them via your browser settings, though this may significantly affect how the website functions.

4.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, see which pages are the most and least popular, and understand how users navigate our site. This data helps us improve our website's performance and the overall user experience.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. The information generated by these cookies (including your IP address, which is anonymized before being stored) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or login information) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or remembering the items in your online food cart.

4.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant and engaging for you as an individual user. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are typically placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and share this information with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) to run advertising campaigns. Google places cookies to track conversions and serve personalized ads based on your previous visits to our site and other websites.

7.2 Opt-Out Tools for Third-Party Advertising Cookies

You can opt out of interest-based advertising and tracking cookies from specific third-party providers using the following tools:

7.3 Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry-wide standard for responding to DNT signals. Our website does not currently alter its behavior in response to DNT signals. We will update this policy if a universally accepted standard is established.

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block cookies on pizzdion.digital, please be aware of the following potential impacts:

Functional Cookies Your preferences (language, location, dietary filters) will not be saved between visits. You will need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit our site.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly, and we cannot measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.
