Cookie Policy

Last Updated: June 3, 2026

Note: This Cookie Policy explains how Dions ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website meal-dions.digital. By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. About This Policy

Dions operates the website meal-dions.digital and is committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. This Cookie Policy forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and explains in detail what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control or remove them.

This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who access our website, whether you are browsing our menu, placing a food order, or simply learning more about our services. We encourage you to read this policy carefully and contact us if you have any questions.

Our practices are guided by applicable United States federal and state laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), which governs unfair or deceptive practices, and, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) for California residents.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Dions) 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 a website — such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed and can remain on your device for a defined period of time or until you manually delete them.

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

Web beacons (pixel tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed specific actions.
Local storage objects: Data stored in your browser's local storage that persists beyond individual sessions.
JavaScript tags: Code snippets that enable various website features and analytics tracking.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Dions uses cookies for a variety of important reasons related to our food service operations and online presence:

To ensure our website functions correctly and securely for all users.
To remember your preferences and personalize your experience when ordering food online.
To understand how visitors navigate and interact with our website so we can improve our services.
To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and promotions.
To deliver relevant advertisements to users who have shown interest in our food offerings.
To process orders, maintain shopping cart functionality, and facilitate secure transactions.
To detect and prevent fraud and ensure the security of our platform.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies we use into four main types, as described below:

4.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features of our website cannot be provided. They enable core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and online ordering capabilities. Because these cookies are essential, they cannot be switched off in our systems without impacting the functionality of the website. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

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

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your location, preferred language, or the items you have previously added to your cart. These cookies 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, some or all of these services may not function properly.

4.4 Advertising and 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 work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, but you will still see advertisements — they will just be less relevant to your interests.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not currently alter its data collection and use practices when it receives a DNT signal from your browser. We will update this policy if and when a uniform DNT standard is established.

11. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, updates to applicable laws, or other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
