Last Updated: June 9, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dewey's Pizza. We operate the website fresh-deweys.click (the "Website") and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your visit. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website and our data practices. By accessing or using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns 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. These files allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.

Cookies are widely used by websites and online services to make them work more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide useful reporting information. They are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit fresh-deweys.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our Website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your previous activity.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties that provide services on that website, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies").

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page or email has been opened.
  • Local Storage: A browser feature that stores data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with a larger capacity and no expiration date unless manually cleared.
  • Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only retained for the duration of your browser session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Short pieces of code embedded in our pages that help us collect data about your interactions with our Website.

References to "cookies" in this policy include all such similar technologies unless otherwise stated.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on fresh-deweys.click. These are described in detail below:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. Without them, certain features and services cannot function properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent because they are necessary to provide the service you have requested. They typically:

  • Enable you to navigate our Website and use its features
  • Remember information you have entered on forms
  • Keep your session secure during your visit
  • Allow you to place orders and complete transactions
  • Maintain basic security and fraud prevention measures

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and any error messages they encounter. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify you personally. We use this information to improve the performance and usability of fresh-deweys.click.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users interact with our Website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, region, or customization settings. They enable us to provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, functional cookies may remember your saved pizza preferences or delivery address details so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit.

These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching videos or using live chat support features.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners, such as Google Ads and Facebook. Advertising cookies track your browsing activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and display targeted ads accordingly.

These cookies do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. You may opt out of interest-based advertising at any time using the tools described in Section 6 of this policy.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you have the right to disable or restrict cookies, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience on fresh-deweys.click. The impact depends on which types of cookies you disable:

Cookie Type Impact of Disabling
Essential Cookies Significant impact. Core website functions will not work correctly. You may be unable to place orders, navigate the site effectively, or maintain a secure session. We strongly recommend keeping these enabled.
Analytics Cookies Minimal user impact. You will still be able to use all Website features, but we will be unable to collect data to improve the Website's performance and usability. This means some features may be slower to improve or update.
Functional Cookies Moderate impact. You may need to re-enter your preferences, delivery address, and customization settings every time you visit. Your shopping cart may not be saved between sessions.
Advertising Cookies Minimal user impact on site functionality. You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. It also means we cannot track the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

Disabling third-party cookies will affect the services those third parties provide across the internet, not just on our Website.
