Last updated: April 28, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy applies to our website located at pizzaspequods.click and explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

We are committed to being transparent about our data practices. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services. If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us at [email protected].

Our use of cookies and your rights in relation to them are governed by applicable United States federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and other applicable consumer protection regulations.

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 parties to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior.

Cookies serve a wide range of purposes. Some cookies are essential for a website to function properly, while others help website owners understand how visitors interact with their content, or allow advertisers to deliver targeted advertisements.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit pizzaspequods.click, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores the cookie on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser sends that cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your previous interactions.

Cookies can be set either by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies"). Both types are used on our website and are described in detail below.

2.2 Other Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us track user behavior and email 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: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when your browser session ends.
• JavaScript Tags: Scripts that collect behavioral data about how users interact with our website.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all of these technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies."

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types: Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Advertising.

Essential cookies (also known as "strictly necessary" cookies) are required for our website to operate. Without these cookies, certain parts of our website may not function properly.

4.2 Functional Cookies

4.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This allows us to improve our website's structure, content, and performance. We use Google Analytics as our primary analytics platform.

4.4 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

Advertising cookies (also called 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 typically placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

We use Google Ads and may use other advertising platforms. These cookies may track your browsing habits across different websites in order to show you more relevant advertisements.
