Dion's operates the website hotpizza-dions.click, which provides information about our food services, menu offerings, online ordering, and other related features. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.

This policy applies to all pages and services accessible through hotpizza-dions.click. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We are committed to transparency about our data practices and to complying with applicable United States laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and applicable Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on online tracking and consumer privacy.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our data practices, 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 across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, which then stores the file on your device. Each time you revisit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own, but information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by Dion's when you visit hotpizza-dions.click. These cookies are only readable by our website and help us provide core functionality and remember your preferences.

Third-party cookies are set by external organizations and services that we use on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms like Facebook. These third parties may collect information about your browsing activity across different websites.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your web browser. They are used to remember what you have done during a single visit to our website, such as items added to an online order.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period of time, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits and to track your usage of our website over time.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our website, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small, invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us or third parties to track whether you have visited a particular page or opened an email.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
  • JavaScript Tags: Snippets of code that collect information about your interactions with our website and send it to third-party analytics or advertising services.
  • Device Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your device's characteristics (such as browser type, operating system, and screen resolution) to create a unique identifier.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all references to "cookies" should be understood to include these similar technologies unless specifically stated otherwise.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on hotpizza-dions.click:

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of the website — such as the online ordering system, shopping cart, or account login — would not work. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested, they cannot be disabled without significantly affecting the functionality of the website.

Essential cookies help us:

  • Enable you to navigate the website and use its features
  • Remember items you have added to your order
  • Keep you logged in during a session
  • Maintain the security of your session
  • Process transactions and orders

4.2 Functional / Preference Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language, or order preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies are not strictly necessary but improve your experience when using our website.

Functional cookies help us:

  • Remember your delivery address or preferred pickup location
  • Save your previous order history for faster reordering
  • Remember your communication preferences
  • Provide you with customized content relevant to your location and preferences

4.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors encounter any error messages. We use this data to improve the performance and usability of our website. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous; it is used purely for statistical purposes.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to collect and analyze this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to gather information about your use of our website, which is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

4.4 Advertising / Marketing 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) to run advertising campaigns. Google Ads uses cookies to track conversions — for example, when someone clicks on one of our advertisements and subsequently places an order on our website.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable cookies, doing so may have a significant impact on your experience when using hotpizza-dions.click. The following table outlines what may happen if you disable different types of cookies:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Core website features will not function correctly. You will be unable to add items to your cart, complete orders, or log in to your account. We strongly recommend keeping these enabled.
Functional Cookies Your preferences (such as saved delivery address, preferred location, and reorder history) will not be remembered between visits. You will need to re-enter this information each time you visit the website.
Analytics Cookies We will not be able to collect data about how you use our website. This means we may be less able to improve the website based on user behavior. Your experience will not be directly affected, but overall website quality improvements may be slower.
Advertising Cookies You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. Disabling these cookies does not mean you will see fewer ads — it means the ads you see may be less personalized and therefore potentially less useful to you.

8. Cookies and California Privacy Rights

  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers and mobile operating systems include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals from your browser. However, you can use the cookie management options described in this policy to control how cookies are used on your device.

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, and embedded content (such as maps, videos, or social media feeds). These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content on our website. We do not control these third-party cookies and are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party websites you visit.

Third-party services that may set cookies on our website include, but are not limited to:

  • Google LLC (Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Maps)
