Welcome to dionsfood.digital, operated by Dions. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use data related to your browsing activity on our website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types of cookies we use, how we use them, and how you can control and manage your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern how we collect, process, and protect your personal information. By accessing and using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website operators to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and assist with marketing and advertising.
Cookies are created by your web browser and stored on your device. When you return to a website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visit — such as your preferences, login status, or items in a shopping cart.
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 the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2.1 How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit dionsfood.digital, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser will send the cookie back to our server. This process allows our website to:
- Remember your preferences and settings
- Keep you logged in to your account (if applicable)
- Understand how you use our website
- Provide you with relevant content and advertising
- Measure and analyze the performance of our website
- Improve the overall functionality and user experience of our site
2.2 Cookie Duration
Cookies can remain on your device for different lengths of time, depending on their type:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open. They are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are typically used to maintain your session as you navigate between pages.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are used to remember your preferences and recognize you on return visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on dionsfood.digital:
3.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the website will not work if you do so. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable law because they are strictly necessary for the delivery of the service you have requested.
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 which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and whether visitors encounter any error messages. 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 website and will not be able to monitor its performance.
We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, which uses cookies to help us analyze how users interact with our website. The data generated by these cookies (including your truncated IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this data on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They 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. Functional cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, such as your preferred language, region, or other customized settings.
3.4 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 websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. These cookies do not directly store personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
We use Google Ads and may use Facebook Pixel and similar tools to deliver relevant advertising campaigns and measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
