Cookie Policy
Last Updated: May 28, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Dions ("we," "us," or "our"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website eat-dions.click (the "Website"). This policy is intended to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect and use data. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our Website.
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this policy, please contact us at [email protected].
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 to make websites work more efficiently, to enhance user experience, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, settings, and other preferences. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device. They simply store a small amount of data that can be read by the website that created them.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit our Website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. The next time you visit our Website from the same device, the website recognizes your device because of the stored cookie. This allows the website to customize your experience based on your previous interactions.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses (known as "third-party cookies"). Third-party cookies are typically used for analytics, advertising, and social media integration purposes.
2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including:
- Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
- Local Storage: A web storage technology that allows websites to store data locally on your browser, similar to cookies but with greater storage capacity.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but the data is only retained for the duration of your browser session.
- JavaScript Tags: Small pieces of code that collect information about your interactions with our Website.
For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, all references to "cookies" include these similar tracking technologies unless otherwise specified.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use four main categories of cookies on our Website. Each category serves a different purpose and has a different level of importance to the functioning of our Website.
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper operation of our Website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are strictly necessary for the core functionality of the Website, including security, network management, and accessibility.
3.2 Analytics and Performance 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 understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are most popular, how long visitors spend on certain pages, and whether they experience any technical errors.
All information collected by analytics cookies 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. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly, and your experience on our Website may be less personalized.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These 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 to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.
These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. We use Google Ads for our advertising campaigns. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
