Last Updated: June 14, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dions, your trusted food destination. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookie Policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we deploy, and how you can manage your preferences.

This policy applies to all pages and services available through our website cafedions.click. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together form the complete framework governing your use of our website.

By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with the use of cookies as described here, you have the right to disable them using the methods outlined in this document.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. These files allow the website to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences, actions, or browsing history.

Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used. They do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, but may be combined with other data to identify you.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting, known as first-party cookies, or by third-party services that the website integrates, known as third-party cookies. Both types are used on cafedions.click.

2.1 How Cookies Work

When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. The next time you visit from the same device, your browser sends the cookie back to the server that originally issued it. This allows the server to recognize you as a returning visitor and customize your experience accordingly.

Cookies can be either session cookies, which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.

2.2 Similar Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use other tracking technologies, including:

  • Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views and email opens.
  • Local Storage: Browser-based storage mechanisms that allow data to persist beyond a single session.
  • JavaScript Tags: Code snippets that collect and send information about your browsing behavior to third-party analytics and advertising platforms.
  • Fingerprinting: A method of identifying a device based on its unique combination of hardware and software characteristics.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on cafedions.click into four main types. Each type serves a distinct purpose, and your level of control over each varies.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are required for the fundamental operation of our website. Without them, you would not be able to navigate pages, access secure areas, use our online ordering system, or complete transactions. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled in our systems.

Examples of functions supported by essential cookies include:

  • Maintaining your session as you navigate between pages
  • Remembering items added to your cart or order
  • Ensuring secure login to any account areas
  • Remembering your cookie consent preferences

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are most frequently visited, how much time is spent on each page, any error messages encountered, and how visitors arrived at the site. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally.

We use Google Analytics to collect this data. Google Analytics uses its own set of cookies to measure user activity on our site. The information generated by these cookies about your use of cafedions.click is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, they may remember your preferred language, region, or previously selected food categories, which helps create a more seamless and convenient browsing experience on repeat visits.

Information collected by these cookies may be anonymized and cannot be used to track your browsing activity on other websites.

3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to deliver ads 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 are typically placed by advertising networks with our permission and remember that you have visited a particular website. They are often linked to site functionality provided by the advertising organization.

We may use Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing tools, which use cookies to serve personalized advertisements across the Google Display Network.
