Last Updated: April 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy describes how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at pizzas-pequods.world. This policy is intended to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and what rights you have to control their use.

We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing activity. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional context about how we handle your personal information.

By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the tools described below. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners and operators.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to your browser, where they are stored locally. Each time you make a subsequent request to the server, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They do not collect information from your device and expire at the end of your browser session.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.
• First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, pizzas-pequods.world).
• Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a third party (such as an analytics or advertising service) through our website. Third parties set these cookies via content on our pages.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage objects, and scripts. For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."

3. Why We Use Cookies

Pequod's Pizza uses cookies for a variety of reasons. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly, while others are used to enhance your experience, analyze how the website is used, or deliver relevant advertising. Specifically, we use cookies to:

• Ensure the website functions correctly and securely
• Remember your preferences and settings for future visits
• Understand how visitors use our website (pages visited, time spent, navigation patterns)
• Improve and optimize the content and layout of our website
• Deliver relevant advertisements to you on our website and across the internet
• Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
• Detect and prevent fraudulent activity and ensure website security
• Comply with legal obligations under applicable United States law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) where applicable

4. Types of Cookies We Use

4.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features cannot be provided. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms, logging in, or setting your privacy preferences. You cannot opt out of these cookies if you wish to continue using the website, as they are fundamental to how the site works.

Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are not used for marketing or advertising purposes.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages visitors go to most often and whether they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor personally. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information to improve how our website works and to understand visitor behavior.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand website usage. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information and report website usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred location, language, or region) and 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 accept these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising 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 and 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 Meta (Facebook) Pixel and similar technologies to serve targeted advertisements based on your browsing behavior. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of those third parties.

5. Specific Cookies We Use

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

Please note that the cookies listed above may be updated periodically as our website and the services we use evolve. We recommend checking this Cookie Policy regularly for any changes.

7. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or block certain categories of cookies, the following impacts may occur:

• Essential Cookies Disabled: The website may not function properly. Core features such as the online ordering system, contact forms, session management, and security features may be unavailable or broken. We strongly advise against disabling essential cookies.
• Analytics Cookies Disabled: We will be unable to monitor website performance or understand how users navigate our site. This means we cannot identify and fix problems or improve the user experience based on real usage data. Your personal browsing experience will not be affected.
• Functional Cookies Disabled: Your preferences (such as your preferred location or saved settings) will not be remembered between visits, meaning you may need to re-enter information each time you visit the site.
• Advertising Cookies Disabled: You will still see advertisements, but they will be less relevant to your interests. You may see the same ads repeatedly without the benefit of frequency capping.

We respect your right to control your cookie preferences and we encourage you to make the choice that best suits your personal privacy preferences and needs.

8. Your Rights Under Applicable Law

Depending on your location within the United States, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information collected through cookies. If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) may provide you with the following rights:

• Right to Know: The right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell.
• Right to Delete: The right to request deletion of your personal information that we have collected.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: The right to opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights.
• Right to Correct: The right to correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: The right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.

Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act protects consumers against unfair or deceptive practices in commerce, including in the context of online privacy and data collection. We are committed to complying with all applicable federal and state privacy laws.

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact section below.

9. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, you can use the opt-out tools described in Section 6 of this policy to manage your cookie preferences.

We will continue to monitor developments in DNT technology and industry standards and will update this policy accordingly if our practices change.

10. Cookies and Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through cookies or any other means.

11. Third-Party Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy or cookie practices. We encourage you to read the cookie policy and privacy policy of every website you visit.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, or applicable laws and regulations.
