Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 3, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to deweysdelivery.click, the official online ordering and delivery platform for Dewey's Pizza. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand how and why we use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website or place an order online.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you have the right to disable or restrict them using the methods described in this document. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your ability to place orders online.

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our website. Together, these documents describe how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their site.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally on your device. Each time you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember relevant information about your visit.

Cookies typically contain the following types of information:

  • The name of the server that placed the cookie
  • An expiration date (after which the cookie will no longer be active)
  • A unique identifier — a randomly generated number that identifies your browser or device
  • Stored user preferences or session data

Cookies themselves do not contain personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or payment details. However, they may be linked to personal information that you have voluntarily provided to us, such as when you create an account or place an order.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Dewey's Pizza (i.e., by deweysdelivery.click) and are used primarily to ensure the website functions correctly and to remember your preferences.

Third-party cookies are set by external services and partners whose content or functionality appears on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites, not just ours.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only during a single browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. Session cookies are essential for functions like maintaining your shopping cart as you browse our menu.

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a defined period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and login status between visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a different purpose, and your rights to accept or decline each type may vary.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, services that are necessary for you to browse and use our website — such as accessing secure areas, maintaining your shopping cart, and completing your pizza order — cannot be provided. Because they are essential, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you can still block them through your browser settings (see Section 6), though this will significantly impair website functionality.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the layout, content, and performance of deweysdelivery.click. For example, analytics cookies tell us which pages are most frequently visited, how long visitors stay on each page, and whether they encounter any error messages.

We use Google Analytics to collect this information. Google Analytics uses cookies to track and report website traffic. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify any individual visitor. For more information about Google Analytics and its data practices, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. For example, a functional cookie might remember your preferred delivery address, your saved menu favorites, or your language and regional preferences. These cookies may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or using a live chat tool.

The information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited our website and may share this information with other organizations, such as Google and Meta (Facebook), for advertising purposes.

As a result of this sharing, you may see Dewey's Pizza advertisements when you visit other websites or social media platforms. These cookies are placed by our advertising partners, and the information they collect is subject to those partners' own privacy policies.

5. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to track your activity on our website:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, invisible graphics embedded in web pages or emails that, when loaded, allow us to confirm that you have accessed a page or opened an email. We use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to understand the behavior of users who visit our website via marketing emails.
  • Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism (HTML5 localStorage) that allows websites to store data directly in your browser. We may use local storage to save your menu preferences and order history for a faster ordering experience.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but the data is cleared when your browser session ends. Used to maintain temporary state during your ordering process.
  • IP Address Logging: Our servers automatically log your IP address when you connect to our website. This is used for security purposes, fraud prevention, and geographic delivery area detection.

6. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have several options for managing and controlling cookies on your device. Below we explain the most common methods.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have every right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect the functionality and your overall experience on our website. Below is a summary of what may happen if you disable specific types of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies Disabled: Our website will not function correctly. You will be unable to add pizzas to your cart, proceed through checkout, log into your account, or complete an online order. Security features such as CSRF protection will also be disabled, which may expose you to security risks.
  • Analytics Cookies Disabled: We will no longer be able to track how visitors use our website. This means we may be less able to identify and fix usability issues, optimize our menu layout, or improve the ordering experience based on user behavior data. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected.
  • Functional Cookies Disabled: Our website will not remember your preferences between visits. You will need to re-enter your delivery address, re-select your preferred pizza size, and manually find your regular order each time you visit. Personalized features will not be available.
  • Advertising Cookies Disabled: You will still see advertisements for Dewey's Pizza, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You will also see the same advertisements more frequently, since frequency capping will not work. Your overall browsing experience on other websites will not be affected.

  • California Residents: Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, the right to delete that information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. Cookies that enable targeted advertising may constitute the "sharing" of personal information under the CPRA. You can exercise your right to opt out of such sharing by using the tools described in Section 6.2.
  • All U.S. Residents: The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce. Our cookie practices are designed to be transparent and fair, and we will never use cookies to engage in deceptive data collection.
