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 owners to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better and more personalized user experience, and to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pequod's Pizza) 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.

Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or until you manually delete them.

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

Web beacons (pixel tags): Tiny graphic files that allow us to count users who have visited certain pages or opened an email.
Local storage: A technology that allows websites to store data locally within your browser.
Session storage: Temporary data stored in your browser for the duration of your session.
Fingerprinting: A technique used to identify a device based on its unique characteristics.
