1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza. This Cookie Policy explains how our website, pequodspizza-food.click (the "Website"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit, browse, or interact with our online platform. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what choices you have regarding their use, and what happens if you choose to disable them.

By continuing to use our Website, you consent to the placement of cookies on your device in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to the use of cookies as described herein, you should adjust your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our Website.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, both of which are available on our Website. If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please 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-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information to site owners.

Cookies are set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some are called "session cookies," which exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Others are called "persistent cookies," which survive after your browser is closed and can be used to recognize your device when you open your browser again and browse the internet.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies such as:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small electronic files or images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to count users who have visited those pages or opened emails and for other related website statistics.
• Local Storage: A mechanism similar to cookies that allows websites to store data locally within your browser.
• Scripts and Tags: Pieces of JavaScript code used to gather information about how you interact with our Website.

Throughout this Cookie Policy, references to "cookies" include all such similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics.

4.4 Advertising / Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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.
