1. Introduction
Welcome to Dions, your trusted food destination. When you visit our website at dionshot.rest, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and provide you with personalized content and advertisements. This Cookie Policy is designed to give you a clear and comprehensive understanding of what cookies are, how we use them, what types we deploy, and how you can manage your preferences.
This policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers who interact with our website. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and ensuring you have full control over your online experience. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together govern your use of our website and services.
By accessing or using dionshot.rest, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or opt out using the methods described in this document.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-connected 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 to website operators.
Cookies are created by your web browser and stored on your device. When you revisit a website, the browser sends the cookie back to the website's server, allowing the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your previous visits. Cookies cannot execute programs, carry viruses, or access information stored on your hard drive beyond what they have stored themselves.
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 computer 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 our website for the first time, your browser receives cookies from our server. These cookies contain a unique identifier that allows our systems to recognize your device on future visits. The information stored in cookies can include your preferences, login status, items in a shopping cart, and browsing behavior on our site.
Cookies work by following this basic process:
- You visit dionshot.rest for the first time.
- Our web server sends a cookie to your browser along with the requested webpage.
- Your browser stores the cookie on your device.
- On your next visit, your browser sends the stored cookie back to our server.
- Our server reads the cookie and recognizes your device, allowing us to personalize your experience.
Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use several different types of cookies on our website, each serving a distinct purpose. Below is a detailed explanation of each category:
3.1 Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law, as they are strictly necessary for the provision of the service you have requested. These cookies cannot be switched off in our systems. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not work as a result.
3.2 Analytics and Performance 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 to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
We primarily use Google Analytics to collect and analyze website usage data. Google Analytics helps us understand how our visitors engage with our content, what food items or menu pages are most popular, and how users navigate through our website. This information helps us continuously improve the user experience on dionshot.rest.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional 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, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
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 and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and measure the effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns. These cookies help us understand whether visitors who clicked on our ads went on to make a reservation or purchase from our food service.

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies
While you have the option to disable or restrict cookies, doing so may affect your experience on our website in the following ways:
| Cookie Type | Impact of Disabling |
|---|---|
| Essential Cookies | Disabling essential cookies will significantly impair the functionality of our website. You may be unable to complete online orders, maintain your session, or access secure areas of the site. Core features essential to our food ordering service will not work properly. |
| Analytics Cookies | Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from collecting data about how you use our website. While your personal experience will not be affected, it limits our ability to improve our website based on aggregate usage patterns. Our food menu and user interface may be less optimized as a result. |
| Functional Cookies | Disabling functional cookies means the website will not remember your preferences, such as dietary filters or language settings. You may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit our website, resulting in a less personalized experience. |
| Advertising Cookies | Disabling advertising cookies means the ads you see online will be less relevant to your interests. You will still see advertisements, but they will be generic rather than tailored to your preferences. This will not affect your ability to use our food ordering services. |
