Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 11, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at pizzas-pequods.rest and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can control or manage 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, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with applicable United States federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy.

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. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide functionality, and to gather information about how users interact with their website.

Cookies are created by the web server that hosts the website and delivered to the browser you are using. The browser stores the cookie as a small file for a defined period of time. Each time you return to that website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting — these 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.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pizzas-pequods.rest, our web server may send a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser will return the cookie to our server, allowing us to recognize your device, recall your preferences, and provide you with a more personalized experience.

Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address, if you provide this information to us). However, this information can only be stored if you provide it — websites cannot gain access to information you have not provided or files stored on your device.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on pizzas-pequods.rest. These are described in detail 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 that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, filling in forms, or placing an online order. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as adding items to your cart or processing payments — cannot be provided.

These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary for the function they perform. Because these cookies are essential to the operation of our website, they are exempt from consent requirements under applicable US privacy guidelines.

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 navigate our site, and where visitors are coming from. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and, therefore, anonymous. If you choose not to allow these cookies, we will not be able to monitor website performance or improve your experience based on usage data.

We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics platform. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how users use our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

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 the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or saved preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

If you choose not to allow these cookies, then 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 may be set through our website by our advertising partners, including Google Ads and Meta (Facebook). They are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you choose not to allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising across the web. Note that opting out does not mean you will no longer see advertisements — it simply means that the advertisements you see will be less tailored to your interests.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

While you are free to manage your cookie preferences at any time, please be aware that disabling certain categories of cookies may affect your experience on pizzas-pequods.rest. The table below summarizes the potential impact of disabling each category of cookie:

7. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As such, our website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. We will continue to monitor the development of a DNT standard and update this policy accordingly.

If you are a California resident, please note that we honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as required under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). If you have enabled GPC in your browser, we will treat this as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, including through advertising cookies.

8. Children's Privacy and Cookies

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information through our website, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, notify you by other means (such as a banner on our website).

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of our website after any changes to this Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
