Welcome to Dions, your trusted destination for quality food experiences. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to you. This Cookie Policy forms part of our overall Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, what types of cookies we use on our website, and how you can control them.

This policy applies to all users who visit our website at cafe-dions.digital and is governed by applicable United States federal and state laws, including 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 (FTC) Act guidelines on online tracking and consumer privacy.

If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, 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-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide website owners with information about how their site is being used.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored. Each time you revisit the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember your preferences or actions over time.

Cookies do not typically contain any personally identifiable information on their own; however, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malicious software on your device.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you first visit cafe-dions.digital, our server places one or more cookies on your device. These cookies help our website recognize you during future visits and can store information such as:

• Your login status and preferences
• Items you have added to a cart or wishlist
• Your language or region preferences
• How you navigate and interact with our pages
• The source from which you arrived at our website

Cookies can be either "session cookies," which are temporary and expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

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

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that track user behavior and whether emails have been opened.
• Local Storage: A feature of your browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
• JavaScript Tags: Snippets of code that collect information about your browsing activity on our site.
• Fingerprinting: A method that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use four main categories of cookies on cafe-dions.digital. Understanding these categories helps you make informed decisions about your cookie preferences.

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure login, and access to protected areas of the site. Without these cookies, services you have requested — such as online ordering or account management — cannot be provided. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they cannot be disabled without significantly impacting your experience.

Essential cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or to track your activity on other websites.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and whether visitors receive error messages from certain pages. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is used solely to improve how our website works.

We use Google Analytics to gather this information. Google Analytics uses a set of cookies to collect data about your activity on our website and report website trends to us without identifying individual visitors.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of web pages.

The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you disable functional cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as 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 and may use Facebook Pixel and other advertising platforms to serve relevant ads to you on third-party websites after you have visited cafe-dions.digital.
