1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at pequods-food.rest and explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we may use, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional information about how we collect and use personal data.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, you can contact us at: [email protected].

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 their websites work more efficiently, improve the user experience, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pequod's Pizza) 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. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our website, your browser sends a request to our web server. Our server may then send a small text file (a cookie) to your browser, which stores it 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 remember certain information about your previous visit, such as your preferences or items in your shopping cart.

Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information. However, personal data that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action.
• Local Storage: A mechanism that allows websites to store data locally within your browser.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but the data is cleared when the browser session ends.
• JavaScript: Scripts that collect information about how you interact with our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like online ordering or account login, cannot be provided. These cookies cannot be disabled without severely affecting the functionality of the website.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are generally session cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, and whether users receive error messages from web pages. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is used to improve how our website works and to understand user behavior patterns.

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your use of our website.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. These cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and remarketing, which allows us to show relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our website when they browse other websites within Google's advertising network.
