Cookie Policy
Last Updated: July 17, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Pequod's Pizza's Cookie Policy. This document explains how Pequod's Pizza ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at pequodsdelivery.click (the "Website") or interact with our online food ordering services.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and how they affect your experience on our platform. Whether you are browsing our menu, placing a delivery order, or simply exploring what Pequod's Pizza has to offer, this Cookie Policy is designed to give you a clear understanding of how data is collected through cookies and what your choices are.
This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website and services. If you have questions about any aspect of this policy, please contact us using the information 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-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function more efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to the owners of the site.
When you visit pequodsdelivery.click, our server may send a cookie to your browser, which then 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 device and recall information about your previous visits — such as items in your cart or your preferred delivery address.
Cookies do not typically contain 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 cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are uniquely assigned to your browser and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
2.1 Cookie vs. Similar Technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that help us understand user behavior and email open rates.
- Local Storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data locally on your device, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser tab is closed.
- Fingerprinting: A technique that collects information about your browser and device settings to create a unique identifier.
For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
3. How Cookies Work
Cookies work by storing a small piece of data on your device that your browser sends back to a website every time you make a request. Here is a step-by-step explanation of the process:
- You visit our Website: When you first navigate to pequodsdelivery.click, our server sends your browser a cookie file.
- Your browser stores the cookie: Depending on the type of cookie, it is stored either temporarily (session cookie) or for a defined period (persistent cookie).
- You interact with our site: As you browse our menu, add items to your cart, or log into your account, cookies track these actions to improve functionality.
- You return to our site: On your next visit, your browser presents the stored cookie to our server, allowing us to recognize you and personalize your experience accordingly.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on pequodsdelivery.click into four main types, each serving a distinct purpose:
4.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of our website — such as the shopping cart, secure login, and payment processing — would not work. These cookies do not collect information that could be used to identify or track you for marketing purposes, and they cannot be turned off in our systems.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the services you request, they are exempt from consent requirements under applicable law. Examples include cookies that maintain your session while you place a food order, remember items in your cart, and ensure secure checkout.
4.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance your experience on our Website by remembering choices you make and providing more personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred delivery address, your name for future orders, or your language and region preferences. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
4.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the way our Website works — for example, by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily. We use Google Analytics and similar tools to collect data such as the number of visitors, bounce rates, traffic sources, and popular pages.
4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. We use services like Google Ads to serve targeted promotions for Pequod's Pizza's delivery services.
