This Cookie Policy applies to the website operated by:

  • Company Name: Dions
  • Website: food-dions.digital
  • Email: [email protected]
  • Location: United States

We are committed to being transparent about how we use cookies and other tracking technologies on our food-related website. This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

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 by your web browser and contain data about your browsing activity, preferences, and session information. Cookies allow websites to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Cookies are widely used across the internet by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide analytical information, and to deliver advertising that is relevant to users' interests. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit food-dions.digital, our web server sends a small file (the cookie) to your browser, which stores it on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows our website to recognize your device and remember your preferences, login status, shopping cart contents, and other information from your previous visit.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that are running on that website, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (known as "third-party cookies").

2.2 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 snippets embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user behavior and measure engagement.
  • 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: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab or window.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect information about how you use our website and interact with our content.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several different types of cookies on food-dions.digital. Below is a description of each category and why we use them:

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our website would not function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, secure login, and access to protected areas of the website. These cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they are exempt from cookie consent requirements under applicable laws. However, we believe in full transparency and have included them in this policy for your information.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, measure traffic sources, and see which pages are most popular so we can improve the performance and user experience of food-dions.digital. The information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, which uses cookies to help us analyze how users use our site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language, region, or currency) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog post.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These 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 help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to website functionality provided by the other organizations.

We use Google Ads and may use Facebook Pixel or similar advertising tools to serve targeted advertisements based on your browsing behavior and interests.
