Cookie Policy

Last Updated: May 6, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pequod's Pizza. We operate the website eatpequodspizza.click (the "Website") and are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your online experience. 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 disable them.

This policy applies to all visitors and users of our Website, regardless of how you access it — whether via desktop, mobile device, or tablet. Please read this policy carefully. If you have questions, you may contact us at [email protected].

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make their sites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to report usage information to the site owners.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, settings, and other choices. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Cookies are not programs; they cannot execute code, deliver viruses, or carry malware. They are simply data files. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer — although this may prevent you from taking full advantage of the Website.

2.1 First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be categorized based on who sets them:

• First-party cookies are set directly by Pequod's Pizza when you visit our Website. They are used primarily to make our Website function properly and to remember your preferences.
• Third-party cookies are set by external services or partners (such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, or social media platforms) when their content is embedded in or linked from our Website. These cookies may track your activity across multiple websites.

2.2 Session vs. Persistent Cookies

• Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to keep track of your activity during a single browsing session.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences across multiple visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Pequod's Pizza uses the following categories of cookies on our Website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential for our Website to function correctly. Without them, certain features — such as navigating between pages, submitting forms, or accessing secure areas — would not be possible. These cookies do not collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or to track your browsing activity on other websites.

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to operate, they cannot be disabled through our cookie management tools. However, you can block them through your browser settings, though this will significantly impact your ability to use our Website.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages from web pages. They help us understand how our Website is performing and how we can improve it. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to collect and analyze this data. Google Analytics uses cookies to compile reports and help us improve our Website. The data collected includes pages viewed, time spent on the site, how you arrived at our site, and your approximate geographic location.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our Website to remember the choices you make (such as your preferred language or region, or your login information) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 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, as well as to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission and remember that you have visited a website. This information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) conversion tracking, which uses cookies to help us measure the performance of our advertising. When someone clicks on one of our ads, a cookie is placed on their computer. If that person later visits a page on our Website associated with a conversion action, Google and we can tell that the click led to a conversion.

5. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies that have already been set, or notify you when new cookies are placed. Below are links to instructions for managing cookies in the most common browsers:

5.2 Opt-Out Tools for Third-Party Cookies

In addition to browser-level controls, you can opt out of specific third-party cookies and tracking technologies using the following tools:

5.3 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no uniform standard for recognizing or responding to DNT signals across the internet. As such, our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you may use the opt-out tools described above to control tracking on our Website.
