Last Updated: June 7, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dions, your trusted food destination. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them on our website (eatdions.click), and what choices you have regarding their use. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your online experience.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website, regardless of your location within the United States. We encourage you to read this policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to fully understand how we handle your personal information.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the information 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-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the owners of the site.

Cookies are created by the web server hosting a website and delivered to the browser software on your device. The browser then stores the cookie and sends it back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This allows the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to carry information across pages of a website to avoid needing to re-enter information.
  • Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. They are activated every time you visit the website that created the particular cookie.
  • First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by the website you are visiting.
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain different from the one you are visiting, typically through advertising or analytics services embedded in the page.

3. Similar Tracking Technologies

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

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images or code embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user behavior and email engagement.
  • Local Storage Objects: Similar to cookies, these allow websites to store data locally on your device through your browser.
  • JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect and transmit data about your browsing activity.
  • Fingerprinting: A technique that identifies devices based on unique device characteristics.

Throughout this Cookie Policy, references to "cookies" include these similar technologies unless otherwise specified.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are absolutely essential for the proper functioning of our website. They enable core functionalities such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate properly. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not work as a result.

4.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preferences, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to the look of the website, such as text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of web pages. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or saving items in your food order cart.

4.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

4.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. They may also be used by third-party advertising networks to show you targeted advertisements on other websites after you visit our site. This practice is often called "retargeting" or "remarketing."
