1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website pequodspizzas.digital, the types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and respecting your privacy rights under applicable United States law, 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 privacy.

At Pequod's Pizza, we take your privacy seriously. Whether you are browsing our menu, placing an order, or simply exploring our website, we want you to understand exactly how we collect information about your visit and how that information is used to improve your experience and our services.

Please read this Cookie Policy carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, 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 device — such as your computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. These files are created by your web browser at the request of the website you are visiting and are stored locally on your device. Cookies allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or items you have added to a shopping cart.

Cookies serve many different purposes. Some are essential to make a website function properly, while others are used to collect analytical data, personalize content, or deliver targeted advertising. Cookies can be set either by the website you are visiting directly (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded within that website (known as "third-party cookies").

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit pequodspizzas.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it on your device. Each subsequent time you visit our website, your browser sends this cookie back to our server, allowing us to recognize your device and recall your preferences or activity. Cookies typically contain a unique identifier, the name of the website that set them, and an expiration date.

Cookies can be categorized based on their lifespan:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after your browser session ends, up until a specified expiration date or until you manually delete them. They allow websites to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and session storage. These technologies function in a similar way to cookies and may be used in combination with cookies to help us understand how visitors interact with our website and to deliver relevant content and advertising.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Pequod's Pizza uses cookies and similar technologies for several important reasons:

• To ensure our website functions correctly and securely
• To remember your preferences and settings for future visits
• To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
• To personalize your experience on our website
• To deliver relevant advertisements about our pizza and services
• To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• To prevent fraud and enhance the security of our platform

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies used on pequodspizzas.digital into four main categories:

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies (also called strictly necessary cookies) are fundamental to the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of the site would not work properly, and you would not be able to use services such as placing an order or logging into your account. These cookies do not collect any personal information that could be used for marketing purposes, and they cannot be disabled without significantly affecting how our website performs. Because they are strictly necessary for the website to function, they are exempt from consent requirements under applicable law.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This includes data on which pages you visit, how long you spend on them, what links you click, and any error messages you encounter. We use this information to improve the structure, content, and performance of our website. The primary analytics tool we use is Google Analytics, which places several cookies on your device to help us measure website traffic and usage patterns.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, location, or pizza order customizations — and to provide enhanced, more personalized features. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our website. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies, also known as targeting or marketing cookies, are used to track your browsing habits so that we can show you relevant advertisements about Pequod's Pizza on our website and on other websites across the internet. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. These cookies can also limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

5. Specific Cookies We Use

The table below provides detailed information about the specific cookies used on pequodspizzas.digital, including their name, purpose, type, and duration.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services. These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they use the information they collect via their cookies. We do not have control over these cookies or how the information collected by them is used. Below is a list of the primary third parties whose cookies may be active on pequodspizzas.digital:

• Google LLC — Analytics, advertising, and mapping services. Google operates from the United States and processes data in accordance with its own privacy policy.
• Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook/Instagram) — Social media advertising and conversion tracking.
• Microsoft Corporation (Bing Ads) — Search advertising and conversion tracking.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services to understand their data practices. Links to their privacy policies are provided in the opt-out section below.

7. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies). There are several ways you can manage your cookie preferences:

7.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when cookies are being set.

7.3 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. Currently, there is no universally agreed-upon standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, we do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to DNT browser signals. However, we encourage you to use the cookie management tools described above to control your privacy preferences.
