Summary: This Cookie Policy explains how Dions ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website pizzdion.rest. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dions, your trusted food destination. When you visit our website at pizzdion.rest, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and deliver relevant content and advertisements. This Cookie Policy is designed to provide you with clear and comprehensive information about what cookies are, how we use them, and what choices you have regarding their use.

This policy applies to all users accessing our website from any device, including desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones. We encourage you to read this policy carefully and contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. These files are stored in your browser and allow the website — or third parties — to recognize your device on subsequent visits. Cookies serve many purposes, from remembering your login details and preferences to helping website owners understand how visitors interact with their site.

Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They are passive data files that simply store information about your browsing behavior and preferences. When you return to a website that has stored a cookie on your device, the website can read that cookie to recall relevant information about your previous visit.

2.1 How Cookies Work

Here is a simple breakdown of how cookies function:

You visit a website for the first time.
The website's server sends a cookie to your browser.
Your browser stores the cookie on your device.
On subsequent visits, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server.
The server reads the cookie and uses the information to personalize or improve your experience.

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 expire when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate through our website.
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.

2.3 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by our website (pizzdion.rest) and can only be read by us.
Third-Party Cookies: These are set by external services or platforms (such as Google Analytics or advertising networks) and may be used to track your activity across multiple websites.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed explanation of each category and why we use them.

3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without them, the website cannot function properly. Essential cookies enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. They do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they are always active and cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you may disable them through your browser settings, though this may result in impaired website functionality.

Examples of what essential cookies do for our food ordering platform include:

Maintaining your session as you browse our menu
Remembering items in your cart
Ensuring secure connections during the checkout process
Preventing fraudulent use of our services

3.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies may remember your preferred language, location, or other settings that improve your overall experience. The information collected by functional cookies is anonymized and cannot track your activity on other websites.

On our food website, functional cookies help us remember:

Your preferred delivery address or location
Your dietary preferences or favorite menu items
Your preferred payment method (in a tokenized, secure manner)
Accessibility settings such as font size or display preferences

3.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data allows us to improve website performance, fix issues, and enhance user experience. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Information gathered includes:

How visitors arrived at our website (referral sources)

3.4 Advertising / Marketing Cookies

These cookies are typically placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms to promote our food services. These cookies track your online activity to help deliver targeted advertising and may share this data with third parties, including advertising networks.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies at any time, doing so may have consequences for your experience on our website. Below is a summary of the potential impacts based on which type of cookies you choose to disable:

Cookie Type	Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies	The website may not function properly. You may be unable to add items to your cart, complete orders, or maintain a secure session. Core features of our food ordering platform may be unavailable.
Functional Cookies	Your preferences and settings will not be saved between visits. You will need to re-enter your delivery address, dietary preferences, and other settings each time you visit. The website will still function but with reduced personalization.
Analytics Cookies	We will not be able to collect information about how you use our website. This means we may have a reduced ability to identify and fix issues, optimize our menu presentation, or improve your overall experience. Your use of the website will not be affected.
Advertising Cookies	You will still see advertisements, but they will no longer be tailored to your interests and previous browsing behavior. You may see generic or less relevant ads. This does not reduce the total number of ads displayed.

8. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT browser signals. We will continue to monitor industry developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

If you wish to opt out of tracking, we recommend using the opt-out tools listed in Section 6.3 of this policy, which provide more reliable and standardized methods for managing your privacy preferences.

9. Children's Privacy and Cookies

Our website and food services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through cookies or any other means. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take prompt action to delete such information.
