1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your experience on our website, pequods-newpizza.click. This Cookie Policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies and similar tracking technologies we use, why we use them, 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. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

We are committed to complying with all applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and other relevant regulations governing the use of online tracking technologies.

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 are stored locally on your device and allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to provide reporting information, and to enhance the overall user experience. They play a fundamental role in how modern websites function and are essential to delivering many of the features and services that users expect from online platforms today.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pequods-newpizza.click for the first time, 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 cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and recall information about your previous visit — such as your menu preferences, items in your cart, or your preferred location.

Cookies typically contain the following information:

• The name of the server that placed the cookie
• A unique identifier (a number or string of characters)
• An expiration date (after which the cookie is automatically deleted)
• Attributes that control how the cookie behaves (e.g., whether it is accessible via JavaScript)

2.2 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by pequods-newpizza.click and are used exclusively to improve your experience on our website. These cookies cannot be used by other websites.

Third-party cookies are set by external services that we use on our website, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies to track your activity across multiple websites and to serve you targeted advertising.

2.3 Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used to keep you logged in during a single browsing session and to remember your actions as you navigate through our website.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie or until you manually delete them. They allow our website to recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences between visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website. Each category serves a distinct purpose, and we provide details about specific cookies in the table in Section 4 below.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into your account, filling out forms, or adding items to your online order cart. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website will not function correctly.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services you have requested, they do not require your consent under applicable law. However, we are committed to full transparency about their use.

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. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where errors occur. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance or improve it accordingly.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, your delivery address, or your pizza customization preferences — so that we can provide you with a more tailored experience.

If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our website may be less personalized.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and social media platforms. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites and platforms. These cookies do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. However, you will still see advertisements — they will simply be less relevant to your interests and browsing behavior.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The following table provides detailed information about the specific cookies used on pequods-newpizza.click, including their names, purposes, types, and durations.

5. Similar Tracking Technologies

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

5.1 Web Beacons (Pixel Tags)

Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails. When your browser loads a page containing a web beacon, it automatically connects to the server hosting the image, which logs your IP address, the time and date of your visit, and the type of browser you are using. We use web beacons in conjunction with our email marketing campaigns to understand which emails are opened and which links are clicked.

5.2 Local Storage

We may use HTML5 local storage, which allows websites to store data locally in your browser without an expiration date. Unlike cookies, data stored in local storage is not automatically sent to the server with each request. We use local storage to save your menu preferences and recently viewed items for a faster and more personalized browsing experience.

5.3 Session Storage

Session storage is similar to local storage but data is only retained for the duration of your current browser session and is deleted when you close the browser tab. We use session storage to maintain the state of your current ordering session.

6. How to Manage and Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (with the exception of strictly necessary cookies, which are required for our website to function). There are several ways you can manage your cookie preferences:

6.1 Cookie Consent Tool
