1. Introduction
Welcome to Dions ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizzdions.rest, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and ensuring that you have control over your personal information.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this document.
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 by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide reporting information about how the website is being used.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. When you return to the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember certain information about you, such as your preferences or login status.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but they can be linked to personal data that we hold about you. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit pizzdions.rest, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie in a designated folder on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser retrieves the stored cookie and sends it back to our server. This process allows us to recognize your device and tailor your experience accordingly.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are embedded on our website, such as advertising networks or analytics providers (known as "third-party cookies").
2.2 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your actions during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (as specified in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you on return visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on pizzdions.rest:
3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our site would not work, such as shopping cart functionality, secure login areas, or remembering your preferences during a session. These cookies do not collect personal information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the delivery of the website, they are typically exempt from cookie consent requirements under applicable laws.
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information about website usage. This information is aggregated and anonymous, meaning we cannot identify individual users from it. We use this data to improve the performance and usability of our website.
We use Google Analytics to collect analytics data. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your browsing behavior on our website, including the pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and how you arrived at our site.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization of our website. They 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 and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
