Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website foods-pequods.click (the "Website"). This policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control or manage them.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect and use data. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which are also available on our Website.

This Cookie Policy applies to all users who visit our Website, regardless of their location. For users located in California, certain additional rights apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). For all users in the United States, our practices are governed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act and applicable federal and state consumer protection laws.

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. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pequod's Pizza) 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 (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

2.1 How Do Cookies Work?

When you visit our Website, our server sends a 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, allowing us to recognize your browser and remember certain information about your preferences and previous interactions.

Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address, if you choose to provide them to us). However, this information can only be stored if you enable it — websites cannot gain access to information you haven't provided, and they cannot access other files on your device.

2.2 Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies on our Website, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our Website and in our emails to track how you interact with our content.
• Local Storage: A feature in your browser that allows websites to store data locally on your device without an expiration date.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is only retained for the duration of a single browsing session.
• Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser type, operating system, installed plugins, and other technical data to identify your device.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our Website into four main types:

3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Examples of what essential cookies do on our Website include: remembering items in your online order, enabling secure payment processing, and maintaining session continuity as you browse through our menu pages.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. 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.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the 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. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly. Examples include: remembering your location preferences, your preferred pizza size or customization options, and your login credentials if you have an account with us.

3.4 Advertising (Targeting) Cookies

These cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

We use Google Ads and may integrate with Meta (Facebook) Pixel for remarketing purposes.
