2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting and analytical information.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored for later retrieval. Each time you visit the same website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device and remember your preferences, settings, or previous actions.

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 features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit dionspizza.digital for the first time, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser automatically sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to:

  • Recognize you as a returning visitor
  • Remember your language preferences and settings
  • Understand how you navigate our website
  • Deliver relevant content and advertising
  • Maintain the security of your session
  • Analyze how our website performs and where improvements can be made

2.2 Types of Cookies by Duration

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are required to deliver the basic functions and security features of our website.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website.

These cookies may be set through our website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites.

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies The website may not function properly. You may be unable to access secure areas, process orders, or use core features of the site. We strongly recommend keeping these cookies enabled.
Analytics Cookies We will be unable to collect information about how you use our website. This means we cannot improve our services based on user behavior data. Your browsing experience will not be directly affected.
