Last Updated: March 21, 2026 | Effective Date: March 21, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Dions ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website pizza-dions.world, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or disable them. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us using the information 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-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to gather reporting information about website usage.
Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the browser, where they are stored. When you return to the same website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Dions) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.
2.1 Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny graphic files embedded in web pages or emails used to track user behavior and page visits.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when you close your browser session.
- JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code used to collect data about how you interact with our website.
All references to "cookies" in this policy also include these similar tracking technologies unless stated otherwise.
