Cookie Policy
Effective Date: July 24, 2026 | Last Updated: July 24, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Dewey's Pizza ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at newdeweyspizza.click (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and what rights you have regarding their use.
By continuing to browse or use our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law — including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) — we will ask for your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners and operators.
When you visit our Website, our server (or third-party servers) may send a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit the Website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or previous actions.
Cookies typically contain the following types of information:
- A unique identifier (a string of letters and numbers)
- The name of the website that set the cookie
- The expiry date of the cookie
- Any value assigned to the cookie (e.g., a session ID or preference setting)
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you load a page on our Website, your browser makes a request to our web server. Our server responds by sending the HTML page content along with instructions to set one or more cookies. Your browser stores those cookies on your hard drive or in temporary memory. Subsequent requests to the same domain automatically include those stored cookies, allowing the server to recognize your browser session, maintain shopping carts, remember your login status, and gather analytical data about how you navigate our site.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other technologies that function similarly:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been viewed.
- Local Storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to store data locally on your device without an expiry date.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
- JavaScript Tags: Small snippets of code that collect information about your interactions with our Website.
For the purposes of this policy, all references to "cookies" include these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies we use into four main types based on their purpose:
3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for our Website to function properly and cannot be disabled without significantly affecting your browsing experience. They do not collect any personally identifiable information and are usually set only in response to actions you take — such as filling in forms, setting your privacy preferences, or logging into an account. You cannot opt out of these cookies if you wish to use our Website.
Essential cookies help us to:
- Maintain your session while you browse the site
- Remember items in your online order or cart
- Apply your cookie consent preferences
- Ensure the security of your browsing session
- Load pages correctly and prevent fraudulent activity
3.2 Analytics / Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, and see which pages are most and least popular. The data collected helps us improve the performance and usability of our Website. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymized.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or whether you have previously dismissed a notice) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.
3.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies
These cookies are set by our advertising partners through our Website. 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 directly store personal information but work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will be less targeted to your interests.
