Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 25, 2026
1. 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 are stored by your web browser and allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, settings, and browsing activity.
Cookies were designed to make your online experience more efficient and personalized. They serve many different functions — some are strictly necessary for websites to function properly, while others collect information to help website owners understand how visitors interact with their site, deliver relevant advertising, or remember your preferences for future visits.
Cookies typically contain the following information:
- The name of the server that placed the cookie
- An identifier in the form of a unique number
- An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
It is important to note that cookies by themselves do not collect personally identifiable information such as your name or bank account details. However, when combined with other data we collect, they may be used to identify you as a user of our site.
2. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit pizzasdions.top for the first time, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie file on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your previous preferences or activity.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (called "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that provide content or functionality on that page (called "third-party cookies"). Third-party cookies are placed by companies such as Google, Facebook, and other advertising or analytics providers, and these companies may use the data collected through their cookies across multiple websites you visit.
There are two main types of cookies based on their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased from your device when you close your web browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate through our website.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information about website traffic, visitor behavior, and usage patterns. All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify individual users.

7. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.
If you are a California resident, please note that California law requires us to disclose how we respond to DNT signals. As stated above, we currently do not respond to DNT signals.

- The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which imposes requirements on operators of websites directed to children under 13 years of age.
California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information under the CCPA/CPRA.
