Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 2, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dewey's Pizza. 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, and the choices you have regarding their use.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and the information we collect about you. If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, 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 provide functionality, and to provide information to the website owner.

Cookies are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user's device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit deweysnew.click for the first time, a cookie is placed on your device. The next time you visit, the server looks for that cookie and, based on the information it contains, can tailor the browsing experience to your preferences. Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information such as your name or email address, but only if you provide it and consent to the cookie being set.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

  • Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to carry information from one page of our website to another so that you do not have to re-enter information repeatedly during a single visit.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after your browser is closed. They are used to recognize you as an existing user so it's easier to return to our website, remember your preferences, and provide you with tailored content.

2.3 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

  • First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by Dewey's Pizza directly on deweysnew.click. They are primarily used to enable core website functionality and improve your experience on our site.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by domains other than deweysnew.click. They are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as Google Analytics or advertising partners.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on our website. Below is a detailed description of each category and the specific purpose they serve.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate our site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website and placing online orders. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, such as completing an online pizza order, cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

Since these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, as described further in this policy.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and whether visitors receive error messages from certain pages. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous; they do not collect information that identifies you personally. We use this data solely to improve the performance and user experience of deweysnew.click.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how customers engage with our website, so we can improve our online presence and better serve your needs.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, the region you are in, or any customization you have made to the site) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, functional cookies can be used to store your location preferences for our menu or to remember your selected pizza customizations.

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

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 to help measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They are placed by advertising networks, including Google Ads, with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to website functionality provided by the other organization.
