Last Updated: May 2, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dions, your trusted food destination. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use to enhance your browsing experience on our website, dionsfood.click. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. We operate in accordance with applicable United States federal and state laws, including but not limited to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for users located in California, as well as the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) governing consumer protection and fair business practices.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or how we handle your data, please contact us using the details 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. These files are stored in your browser's designated folder and contain information that helps websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, shopping cart contents, and other settings.

Cookies serve many functions. They can help a website function correctly, remember your preferences, track your behavior for analytical purposes, and deliver targeted advertising. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work — or work more efficiently — and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Dions) 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 dionsfood.click, our server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie. The next time you visit our site, your browser sends the cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and your preferences. This process happens automatically and invisibly unless you choose to adjust your browser settings.

Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them, allowing us to recognize you on future visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on dionsfood.click. Understanding these categories will help you make informed decisions about your cookie preferences.

3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

Essential cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. These cookies enable core functionalities such as security, network management, and accessibility. They are activated when you perform activities that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly. Because they are strictly necessary to deliver the services you request, you cannot refuse essential cookies. However, you can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, though this may affect how the website works.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are not used to track your browsing activity across other websites.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics 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 and how visitors move around the site. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google LLC that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our website. This data is shared with other Google services.

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 effectively.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional 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. These cookies remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly, and your user experience on dionsfood.click may be diminished.

3.4 Advertising and 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. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to serve you relevant ads across the web. These cookies track your browsing habits so that advertising can be targeted to your interests.
