1. Introduction
Welcome to Dions, your trusted destination for fresh, high-quality food. 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, and what choices you have regarding their use.
This policy applies to all pages and services available through dionsfresh.rest and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We operate in the United States and comply with applicable federal and state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act guidelines on consumer protection and online transparency.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. These files contain information that allows the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and improve your overall browsing experience.
Cookies are widely used across the internet. They serve a variety of important functions, from keeping you logged in to a website, to remembering items in your shopping cart, to helping website owners understand how visitors interact with their content.
Cookies are typically classified by:
- Duration: Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).
- Origin: First-party cookies (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party cookies (set by external services such as Google or Facebook).
- Purpose: Essential, functional, analytical, or advertising cookies.
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit dionsfresh.rest, our web server sends a small cookie file to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each time you return to our website or navigate to a new page, your browser sends the cookie back to our server. This allows us to recognize your device and tailor your experience accordingly.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as:
- Web beacons (pixel tags): Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a user has accessed a specific page or opened an email.
- Local storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- JavaScript tags: Small snippets of code that allow third-party services like analytics platforms to collect data about your browsing behavior.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on dionsfresh.rest. Each category serves a distinct purpose as outlined below.
4.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our website — such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, or placing an order — would not work. These cookies do not collect any personal information and cannot be disabled without significantly impairing your experience on our website.
Examples of what essential cookies help with include:
- Maintaining your session while browsing
- Remembering items you have added to your cart or order
- Ensuring the security of your interactions with our website
- Enabling load balancing to maintain website performance
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance the usability and personalization of our website. They allow us to remember choices you have previously made, such as your preferred language, location, or accessibility settings. These cookies improve your experience but are not strictly necessary for the website to operate.
Functional cookies may retain information across multiple sessions so that you do not need to re-enter your preferences every time you visit our website.
4.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect aggregated and anonymized data about page visits, time spent on pages, traffic sources, and navigation patterns. This information helps us identify which parts of our website are performing well and which areas need improvement.
We use Google Analytics to collect this data. Google Analytics uses its own cookies to track user interactions and generates statistical reports that help us improve our website. The data collected is anonymized and does not identify individual users.
4.4 Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies (also known as marketing or targeting cookies) are used to deliver relevant advertisements to you based on your interests and browsing behavior. These cookies track your online activity across websites and may be set by third-party advertising networks such as Google Ads and Facebook Ads.
Advertising cookies help ensure that the ads you see are more relevant to you, limit the number of times you see the same ad, and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
