Last Updated: May 13, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Dions, your trusted food destination. At Dions, we are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy on dionsfood.top, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and protect your personal information. By accessing and using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.
We operate in compliance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable. If you are a California resident, you have additional rights regarding the personal information collected through cookies, as outlined in 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. These files are stored in your web browser and allow websites and third-party services to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or browsing behavior.
Cookies were originally designed to help websites deliver a more personalized and efficient user experience. Today, they serve a wide variety of purposes, from keeping you signed in to your account to helping businesses understand how visitors interact with their websites.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit dionsfood.top for the first time, our web server sends a small cookie file to your browser. Your browser stores this file on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser automatically sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or session information.
Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information on their own; however, information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This means that cookies, in combination with other data, may constitute personal information under certain laws.
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 invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether you have opened a page or email.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser session ends.
- JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about how you interact with our website.
For simplicity, all of these technologies are referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on dionsfood.top, each serving a distinct purpose. Below, we describe each category and explain why we use them.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our website would not work correctly. Essential cookies do not require your consent under most legal frameworks because they are technically required to provide the service you have requested.
Examples of what essential cookies do on dionsfood.top:
- Maintain your session when browsing through our food menu and placing orders.
- Remember items added to your cart during your shopping session.
- Ensure secure transmission of data through SSL/TLS encryption verification.
- Prevent fraudulent activity and protect website security.
- Remember your cookie consent preferences.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, where you came from before arriving at our website, and any error messages you may encounter. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymous — it does not identify you personally.
We use this data to improve the performance, design, and content of dionsfood.top. For example, if analytics data shows that many users abandon our ordering process at a particular step, we can investigate and fix any issues to make ordering easier for you.
We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics provider. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. You can learn more about how Google uses data at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you have previously made to provide you with enhanced, more personalized features. For example, functional cookies may remember your preferred language, your location for delivery purposes, or whether you have previously dismissed a promotional banner.
These cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as live chat support or embedded content from our social media pages. The information collected by functional cookies may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
3.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Advertising cookies (also known as targeting 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. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.
On dionsfood.top, we may use Google Ads cookies and similar tools to display relevant food promotions, special offers, and advertisements to you both on our website and across other websites you visit. These cookies track your browsing habits across different websites to build a profile of your interests.
Under the CCPA/CPRA, sharing personal information collected through advertising cookies with third parties may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. California residents have the right to opt out of such activities. See Section 7 for more information on how to exercise this right.
